Instructions

For the ice cream base, pour all ingredients into a blender and work into a silky smooth dough. Sweeten to taste and fill into a silicone mould. Spread on the surface and keep in the freezer for 3-5 hours, preferably overnight.

As soon as the ice cream is frozen on a stick, put it on baking paper and put it back in the freezer.

To make the chocolate coating, melt the chocolate and coconut oil in the pot.

Dip the ice-cream into chocolate and place on a baking tray. Sprinkle with rose petals or other toppings until the chocolate sets. Enjoy immediately or put back in the freezer for later.

*For the coconut cream, store a can of coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight, carefully open the can and remove the coconut cream.
