How to Make Low Fat Ice Cream Cassata Slice

  1. Line a 20cm x 10cm loaf tin with plastic wrap, ensuring excess hangs over the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, gently combine 250ml (2 cups) of low-fat chocolate ice cream and 50g (1/2 cup) of toasted pine nuts.
  3. Spoon the chocolate ice cream mixture into the prepared tin, pressing it firmly into the base and up the sides to create a hollow center.
  4. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until completely firm.
  5. In a separate bowl, gently fold 250ml (2 cups) of low-fat vanilla ice cream with 100g (1 cup) of chopped dried fruit (such as cranberries, raisins, or apricots).
  6. Spoon the vanilla ice cream mixture into the tin, filling the hollow center created by the chocolate layer. Smooth the top surface evenly.
  7. Cover the tin tightly with the overhanging plastic wrap, ensuring a good seal.
  8. Freeze overnight (or for at least 6 hours) until completely solid.
  9. Carefully remove the cassata slice from the tin using the overhanging plastic wrap. Discard the plastic.
  10. To achieve clean slices, quickly dip a sharp knife in hot water, wipe dry, and slice. Serve immediately and enjoy!
