Chocolate Viennetta
Since the classic Viennetta ice cream cake was very successful, upon popular request, I’ve also made the chocolate version! So, if you’re like my husband and love chocolate, I absolutely recommend making it! A very simple and quick ice cream cake to prepare, perfect for serving at any time of the day or bringing to friends or family! I decided to use two types of chocolate in this cake, milk chocolate for the cream and dark chocolate for the strips 🍫. If you’re already thinking about a dessert for Ferragosto, I recommend this one!

Steps
The preparation of the chocolate viennetta is very simple and quick, watch the video HERE.
First, take a sheet of parchment paper and draw three shapes of the mold you will use with a pencil. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate and spread a thin layer over each shape (it should be divided into 4 parts).
Put the shapes in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes to harden the chocolate. Spread a thin layer of chocolate (the leftover one) on the bottom of the mold lined with plastic wrap or use a silicone mold.
We put it in the fridge for a few minutes to harden the chocolate.
Cream preparation:
Pour about half of the hot cream over the chocolate and mix to melt it completely. Once melted
mix it for a few seconds with the whisk, then add the remaining very cold cream and whip it. If you see it not whipping, put the container in the fridge for a few minutes.
Assembly:
Place a layer of cream in the mold over the hardened chocolate, add a chocolate strip, add another layer of cream, and continue like this, alternating layers of cream and chocolate.
Cover and put in the freezer for a few hours. Before serving, decorate as desired.
Enjoy your meal!
