I have been experimenting with Valrhona, Dulcey
Valrhona is making the best of the best chocolates in the world for baking, and this dulcey are absolutely amazing ♥
Wow .. It just melts on your tongue
Dulcey are a chocolate that is creamy & has a delicious taste of caramel.
It is really special.
I used the chocolate to make a delicious ice-cream cake.
It is the best ice cream I have ever tasted, and it deserves it’s very own blog post (sometime) Yum! ♥
I thought that a delicious brownie, would be greata for the ice cream – It fits very well.
Also there is fresh fruit, almond crunch & salted caramel on the ice-cream cake.
They loved it at home .. But! It should have stayed a bit longer in the fridge, than I let it.
