Chocolate garnishes dress up any dessert from ice cream to cakes! They look gourmet-like and artistic but are very simple to make. Per my husband's request, I used strawberry cheesecake ice cream. This dessert is also pretty made with vanilla ice cream with a splash of amaretto, topped with candied walnuts. What I like about this dessert is that it can be assembled the day before and kept in the freezer until you are ready to serve it.
To make the chocolate garnish:
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper, making sure that the baking sheet will fit in the freezer.
2. Melt 4 ounces of chocolate in a double boiler.
3. Pour melted chocolate into a squeeze bottle.
4. Squeeze chocolate over the paper, making abstract shapes. Leave a bit of space between each shape, for easy removal.
5. Place the tray in the freezer for about 30 minutes. Once the chocolate is set, use a spatula to remove it from the parchment.
