"Eye Scream" Float

It’s too hot outside!!? Yeah, summer is right in the corner! And speaking of summer, we’d rather slurp something sweet and cool desserts to chill us up!! Something a treat which doesn’t need an oven as well as that can be ready in just a couple of minutes------I want “eye scream”!!!? Yeah you heard it right!--- ice cream! Since we want it to be more special and have it made with exciting variation, I’ve come to this idea of a cracker plus an ice cream garnished with sliced mango and ganache! I knew this is not ‘kinda new to us but just a random thought, good thing I have this! Mouth-watering???— Delish indeed!!

Note: This Can also be served with your favorite fruit and/or nuts. It’s better to make ganache to garnish than using chocolate syrup because some bought products can ruin the taste to this recipe. If so, buy those products that you know it tastes right for you. Using semi-sweet chocolate for the ganache is recommended than bitter-sweet.

Ingredients:

Ganache (garnishing)

·          2 ounces semisweet chocolate, cut into small pieces

·          1/4 cup Whipping cream

·          1 teaspoon butter, (I prefer slightly salted)

 

Ice Cream Float

·          1.3L Ice Cream (brand of choice)

·          1 pack Graham crackers

·          2 ripe mangoes, sliced to garnish

 

Procedure:

For the Ganache

1.     Place the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Set aside.

2.     Place a pan over a medium heat. Place the butter in the pan then pour the cream and bring just to boil.

3.     Turn off heat and pour boiling cream into the chopped chocolate. Stir gently with a spoon until you can’t see any lump or until smooth. Set aside.

For the Float

1.     Take about 4 pieces of crackers and pulverize. Set aside.

2.     Line or arrange the crackers in a rectangular glass pan or anything available, leaving no space on the base.

3.     Scoop evenly the ice cream over the arranged crackers.

4.     Do the same (step #2 and #3), ending with an ice cream as top of everything.

5.     Sprinkle evenly the pulverized cracker then decorate the sliced mangoes. Garnish with ganache on top.

6.     Chill for about an hour. Serve and enjoy!
