Ingredients

7 total
  • 150g fresh cherries, 2 reserved whole, remainder destoned and sliced
  • 1 sprig mint, leaves picked and very finely chopped
  • 1 tsp honey (or use maple syrup)
  • 45g dark chocolate, broken into pieces
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra to drizzle
  • 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
  • 2 pinches sea salt flakes

Method

3 steps

  1. Step 1

    In a small bowl, combine the cherries, mint and honey; mix well and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Set a heatproof bowl over a pan of gently simmering water, add the chocolate and melt without stirring. Turn off the heat and stir in 1 tbsp olive oil.

  3. Step 3

    To assemble, layer the cherries and ice cream between 2 glasses, then pour over the warm chocolate sauce. Top each with a pinch of sea salt flakes, a drizzle of olive oil and a whole cherry. The sundaes can be assembled up to 1 day ahead; freeze until ready to serve. Keep the chocolate sauce chilled; gently reheat and drizzle over just before serving.
