  • In a sauce pan add the mixture from the processor.

  1. This is well worth making, for a spectacularly decadent dessert. My family gave the ice cream a 5 star rating, and the sauce 4 stars - my personal ratings would be the other way round! The coconut ice cream is very smooth and rich, with a delicate but deep flavour. The sauce is interesting - I loved it, but others thought that it would be better with less Grand Marnier. It would be easier to get a very smooth puree if the sauce ingredients were cooked together prior to blitzing in the food processor; my sauce had a bit of texture to it, which I really liked, but others said the sauce would be better if it was smoother. I used good quality white chocolate instead of "baking squares". Definitely an imaginative and very successful recipe, and one which I will make again (possibly making the two parts separately to serve with different desserts). Thank you!
