Takes 5 minutes | Serves 4 |

A refined approach to enjoying Vanilla Ice Cream with Olive Oil, tailored for four servings. This recipe is not only a delightful dessert but also a conversation starter about the wonderful versatility of olive oil in sweet dishes.

Ingredients

1 pint high-quality vanilla ice cream

4 tablespoons high-quality extra virgin olive oil

1 pinch sea salt

1 optional toasted almonds or hazelnuts, chopped

Steps

Serving the Ice Cream

Allow the vanilla ice cream to soften slightly for a few minutes for easier scooping. Then, evenly distribute the ice cream into four serving bowls or dessert plates.
Carefully drizzle 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over each serving of ice cream. The key is to use a high-quality olive oil, as its flavor profile will significantly enhance the dessert.
For those who enjoy a sweet and savory combination, a small pinch of sea salt can be sprinkled over the ice cream. This will not only enhance the flavors but also add a delightful contrast.
If desired, garnish each serving with a sprinkle of toasted almonds or hazelnuts. This adds a lovely crunch and nuttiness that complements the creamy texture and rich flavors.
Serve the dessert immediately to enjoy the contrast between the creamy, cold ice cream and the rich, fruity olive oil.
