A quick and easy refreshing dessert featuring creamy strawberry ice cream rolled and dipped in bittersweet chocolate, perfect for summer parties and family treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream (480 ml)
  • 1 cup whole milk (240 ml)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (100 g)
  • 1½ cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped (225 g)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 6 oz bittersweet chocolate (170 g)
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Optional toppings: crushed nuts, shredded coconut, sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Puree the hulled and chopped strawberries with ¼ cup (50 g) sugar in a blender until smooth with some texture remains (about 1 minute).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together heavy cream, whole milk, remaining ¼ cup (50 g) sugar, and vanilla extract until sugar dissolves. Fold in the strawberry puree gently until combined.
  3. Pour the mixture evenly onto a chilled freezer-safe flat metal pan (at least 12×12 inches). Spread into a thin, even layer about ¼ inch thick.
  4. Freeze for 1 to 1½ hours until firm but not rock solid, with a matte and slightly frosty surface.
  5. Remove from freezer and use a spatula or bench scraper to gently lift one edge and roll the ice cream into tight spirals. If cracking occurs, freeze for 10 more minutes and try again.
  6. Melt bittersweet chocolate with vegetable oil in a small saucepan over low heat until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  7. Dip each ice cream roll halfway into the melted chocolate, let excess drip off, place on parchment paper, and sprinkle with optional toppings.
  8. Return to freezer for at least 15 minutes to set the chocolate.
  9. Serve immediately or keep chilled in the freezer. Let soften for 5 minutes at room temperature before eating.

Notes

If the strawberry mixture is too watery, add a teaspoon of cornstarch dissolved in milk before freezing to help firm it up. Use a thin metal spatula with a sharp edge for rolling. Melt chocolate low and slow with vegetable oil for smooth dipping. Store rolls in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 days. Let soften 5 minutes before serving.
