I love ice cream and as soon as I can I go to the ice cream shop to delight myself.
One thing I can no longer find are ice cream cups as they were made in the past: huge cups with ice cream mixed with fruit and whipped cream… they were also beautiful to look at.
In winter, especially during the Christmas holidays, after a sumptuous meal I like to serve ice cream cups.
This delicious cup is an old recipe by the great chef Escoffier which had a beautiful name: Clo Clo cup.

Clo Clo Cup

  • Preparation time: 10 minutes
  • Ingredients for 4 servings
  • Difficulty: Easy recipe

  • Ingredients
  • 400 grams of vanilla ice cream
  • 200 grams of marron glacé
  • 150 grams of whipped cream (in the original recipe it is pink cream)
  • ½ small glass of Maraschino
  1. Instructions
  2. Whip the cream.
  3. Break the marron glacé (except 4 for the final decoration) and leave them to macerate in the maraschino liqueur for at least thirty minutes.
  4. Fill the cups with ice cream. Pour over the marron glace with the liqueur.
  5. Decorate with whipped cream and the whole marron glacé.

Tipa to ensure the success of the dish:

  • To whip the cream without having it turn into butter, the trick is to use a bowl previously left in the freezer for an hour.
  • To make the pink whipped cream: clean 100 g of strawberries, cut them into wedges and then macerate them with 1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar. Use an immersion blender to make a coulis. Pass it through to remove the seeds and mix it with the whipped cream which in doing so turns pink.
