Tip

Get ahead
Prepare the ice cream up to two days in advance and make the chilli-chocolate sauce the day before if you want to get ahead. Warm the sauce in the microwave before serving.

Method

  1. Stir the ginger and syrup through the ice cream, then return to the freezer to firm up for at least 1 hr.

  2. Put the chocolate and chilli in a large bowl. Bring milk, cream and sugar to the boil, then remove from heat and pour over the chocolate. Leave to stand for 2 mins, then whisk until the chocolate is melted. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream.
