    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.
