Choc&Spice vanilla ice cream / Gelado de baunilha Choc&Spice
I opened my first Foodie Penpals parcel and had a bite of the chilli chocolate Keeley sent me. Both sweet and spicy, the depth of flavours inspired me to create a new dessert that would combine foreign ingredients with Portuguese ones.
I instantly looked at the carob liqueur my parents brought us from the Algarve the last time they were there on holidays.

Carob trees are really common in the South of Portugal, where many dishes are made using its fruit. Carob is also commonly used as ersatz chocolate.
And that's how I came up with what I call my Choc&Spice vanilla ice cream.
Warning: It must be prepared quickly - no more than 1 minute -, and served immediately, since the vanilla ice cream doesn't take long to start melting.
Place a slice of vanilla ice cream in a dish. Sprinkle with a generous amount of previously shredded chilli chocolate. Add tiny bits of the chocolate, shaped into triangles. Insert a butter cookie in the ice cream. Carefully pour some carob liqueur on the plate. Here's the result:

Olhei imediatamente para o licor de alfarroba que os meus pais nos trouxeram do Algarve na última vez que lá estiveram de férias.
As alfarrobeiras são comuns no sul de Portugal, onde muitos pratos são feitos com o seu fruto. As alfarrobas também são normalmente usadas como substituto do chocolate.
E foi assim que inventei o que chamo de gelado de baunilha Choc&Spice.
Aviso: Deve ser preparado rapidamente - não mais que 1 minuto -, e servido imediatamente, já que o gelado de baunilha não demora muito a começar a derreter.
Coloca uma fatia de gelado de baunilha num prato. Salpica com uma quantidade generosa de raspas de chocolate de chilli (preparadas previamente). Adiciona pequenos pedaços do chocolate, em forma de triângulos. Insere uma bolacha de manteiga no gelado. Cuidadosamente adiciona licor de alfarroba ao prato.
