Description: I love ice cream, like A LOT! So much that I have a bucket list of different ice cream flavours to try. Ever since I have tried the @waitrosefoods dark chocolate icecream with blood orange sorbet, this combination has been on my mind. There’s one word to sum up this ice cream: AH-MAZING! It has the silky-smooth richness of dark chocolate without the bitterness and the tangy orange sorbet to balance the sweetness. This recipe is perfect for those unapologetic lazy days when you don’t have the patience, time or an icecream maker nevertheless it is a fabulous low-effort dessert that doesn’t sacrifice quality or taste. Out of all the foods I have shot, I seriously believe this has been the most difficult one with the little eyes waiting desperately for me to finish my task!

Orange sorbet recipe:
Servings: 3-4
