SERVES 6 PREP 10 mins plus freezing COOK 5 mins plus cooling EASY V

100g hazelnuts

200g dark chocolate, roughly chopped

6 plain, round, sugared doughnuts

450ml Carte D’OR Madagascan Vanilla

& Brownies ice cream

1 Line a baking tray that fits in the freezer with baking parchment. Toast the hazelnuts in a dry, hot frying pan for 1 min until golden. Allow to cool then finely chop and set aside on a plate. 2 Melt the chocolate in a small, deep heatproof bowl in short bursts in the microwave. Allow to cool for 5 mins while you cut the doughnuts in half. Spoon 1-2 scoops of ice cream onto one half of each doughnut, then place the other half on top to create a sandwich.

3 Put the baking tray in the freezer, then dip one half of a doughnut sandwich into the melted chocolate before rolling in the chopped hazelnuts. Put the doughnut onto the baking tray and repeat with the remaining doughnuts. Freeze for at least 1 hr before serving.
