The Spicy Olive’s Ice Cream Dream
You can use any of our delicious balsamic vinegars as an ice cream topping. Use them straight from the bottle or prepare a balsamic reduction by putting the balsamic vinegars in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until thickened and reduced. You can also melt chocolate into the balsamic reduction to make a fabulous sauce for ice cream. The raspberry, tangerine, or espresso balsamic vinegars are great with chocolate. Great balsamic flavors for ice cream topping are dark chocolate, strawberry, espresso to name a few. Give it a try – you won’t be disappointed!
