Quenelles

Use two metal spoons to make quenelles or smooth ovals. This technique takes a little practice to perfect.

1. Dip a spoon in cold water, shake off the excess, then slide it sideways down into the ice cream. Turn it upwards and lift simultaneously.

   

2. Use a second spoon to shape the top of the oval. Once in shape, twist it gently to loosen it from the first spoon and slide it sideways on to a baking sheet.
