Aisling Larkin's Spooky Halloween Black Ice-cream Sundaes

Serves 6 

Spooky Black Ice-cream:

500mls double cream

500mls ready made custard

290ml tin condensed milk

3/4 tbsp black food colour

50-75g activated charcoal

Flavour of your choice - 1 tbsp vanilla

Spooky Fun Sundae Toppings:

Witches Hat & Feet

Wafer cones

Black Candy Melts

Gel colour pens / coloured fondant

Stripy straws

Black fondant

Floating Ghosts:

Lollipops / marshmallows and lollipop sticks

White fondant

Edible eyes or chocolate chips

Spooky Graveyards:

Spiders 

Sparklers

Skeleton hands

Syringe filled with raspberry sauce

Method:

1. Whip the double cream until very thick. Fold in the custard and the condensed milk until it forms a smooth consistency. Stir in the flavouring and the activated charcoal and/or food colouring.

Put in the freezer to freeze for 8 hours or overnight. Take out occasionally and stir to break up the ice crystals.

2. To make the ice cream sundaes, scoop the ice cream into a cone or a spooky themed glass.

Dead Witch - shape 2 balls of black fondant into shoe shapes. Cut a striped paper straw in half and place one in each shoe for the legs. Stick the straws in the ice cream shoes facing up. Melt the candy melts in a saucepan over simmering water. Add a little vegetable oil to make it more spreadable. Spread over the wafer cones and allow to set. Using the gel pens draw on the buckle and band design.

Floating Ghosts:
Cut out a 10cm in diameter circle of fondant icing about 1-2cm thick. If you roll it too thin it will just fall and break. Gently place this on top of the lollipop stick and add 2 edible eyes. Stick this on to the top of the ice cream sundae.

Spooky graveyards:

scoop with ice cream into a wafer cone painted with black candy melts.

Top with some plastic spiders and a skeleton hand. Suck up raspberry sauce into a syringe and stab that in on top and top off with some sparklers.

Enjoy the spooky Halloween fun and memories.
