Hi, there Monday. How I've not missed you. Luckily, I have a scoop of delicious Pistachio Gelato with Chocolate Halva and Cherries in the freezer to brighten my mood.
This dessert was inspired by a chocolate halva my friends at Hebel & Co sent me a few weeks ago.
Originally, I thought about mixing chunks of halva into vanilla ice cream, but Whole Foods was out of their 365 brand, and I just did not feel like paying $6 for ice cream. And so I picked up a small container of pistachio gelato instead!
This impressive looking, and more importantly, delicious dessert could not be easier to put together. It bursts with color, texture, and flavor and is easily made days in advance.
Pistachio Gelato with Chocolate Halva and Cherries
1 pint pistachio gelato, softened for 20 minutes in the refrigerator
4 ounces chocolate halva, cut into large pieces, or crumbled
12 cherries, pitted, and chopped
1/4 cup chopped dark chocolate
In a large bowl, mix together gelato, halva, and cherries. Be careful not to smash the ingredients together: you still want to see the chunks of halva and pieces of cherries.
Freeze the mixture overnight.
Serve topped with dark chocolate.
That's all!
Because you've added several ingredients to the gelato, the final mixture will not fit into its original container: snack on the remainder :)
Disclosure: I received a sample of halva free of charge and was not paid for this post. All opinions are my own.
