Method
- Working quickly, scoop balls of ice cream from each tub onto trays that fit in your freezer until you’ve used up all the ice cream. Leave to freeze overnight.
- The following day, melt 150g dark chocolate in a small heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Spear a few balls of ice cream of each flavour with cocktail sticks and dip into the chocolate until mostly coated, then return to the tray and quickly scatter over 3 tbsp chopped nuts. Return to the freezer while you make the sauce.
- Put the remaining chocolate in a small heatproof bowl. Gently heat the cream and golden syrup in a small saucepan until just bubbling, then pour over the chocolate. Leave to stand for 5 mins, then stir to make a glossy ganache. Leave to cool to room temperature.
- Stack the ice cream balls on a serving plate, dotting the berries in between. Drizzle over the sauce and scatter over the remaining nuts. Dust with edible glitter, if you like, and serve immediately.
