Some presentation suggestions for your homemade olive oil ice cream

Take the ice cream out of the fridge for a few minutes before serving it so you can cut it well and so that the diners receive it fresh and creamy. To succeed with this original dessert, we give you some presentation ideas:

• Coronate it with a splash of olive oil. Try to make it the same one you used in your recipe to make it perfectly. You can combine it with some dark chocolate nuggets.
• with honey. Heat a little honey in a saucepan or in the microwave to make it liquid and add it to the ice cream. You can also vary the recipe a little and make ice cream from olive oil and honey, adding about 100 grams to the recipe. You will have to heat the honey next to the milk and, in this variety of the recipe, it will not be necessary to use sugar to sweeten the ice cream.
• Chocolate cover. This ice cream is delicious with a dark chocolate topping. You can choose to change the ice cream when it is not completely frozen to ice cream molds and eat it with the polo-type topping or add the hot chocolate over the ice cream balls. Delicious!
