Ice Cream and Chocolate Ganache. Together. In combination. Yes!
Thanks Amy of Food, Family and Fun for choosing Chocolate-Banded Ice Cream Torte on pages 288-289 of Dorie's book.
I made a really, really small batch. I used these mini canning jars (I think they are 4 oz) to make two small tortes.
I blended some raspberries with vanilla ice cream, and the chocolate band is a chocolate ganache. If you want the recipe, see Amy's blog.
It's not pretty, but tastes good!
