How to Make Olive Oil Coppetta

1. Divide the Gelato

Begin by evenly dividing 3 cups of rich Olive Oil Gelato into six sundae dishes or bowls.

2. Shave the Granita

Next, take approximately 1.5 cups of Passion Fruit Granita and shave it over the gelato in each dish.

3. Drizzle with Basil Syrup

Drizzle some aromatic basil syrup over the gelato and granita in each dish.

4. Add the Strawberries

Gently spoon macerated strawberries over the top of the gelato and granita in each dish.

5. Finish with Olive Oil and Salt

To finish, drizzle a touch of extra virgin olive oil over each dessert and sprinkle a pinch of Maldon salt over the top.

Pitfalls and tips

Quality of Olive Oil

Use the best quality extra-virgin olive oil you can find with fruity notes that will complement the sweetness of the dessert.

Whipping Cream

Aim for soft peaks to give a light, airy texture to your Coppetta; avoid over-whipping.

Serving Temperature

Serve the Coppetta slightly softened to allow the subtleties of the olive oil to come through.

Temperature of Ingredients

Ensure your ingredients, especially dairy, are at the right temperature for proper emulsification.

Presentation

Drizzle olive oil elegantly and garnish with purpose, ensuring each element adds to the visual and palatal experience.
