Method

Working quickly, scoop balls of ice cream from each tub onto trays that fit in your freezer until you’ve used up all the ice cream. Leave to freeze overnight.
The following day, melt 150g dark chocolate in a small heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Spear a few balls of ice cream of each flavour with cocktail sticks and dip into the chocolate until mostly coated, then return to the tray and quickly scatter over 3 tbsp chopped nuts. Return to the freezer while you make the sauce.
Put the remaining chocolate in a small heatproof bowl. Gently heat the cream and golden syrup in a small saucepan until just bubbling, then pour over the chocolate. Leave to stand for 5 mins, then stir to make a glossy ganache. Leave to cool to room temperature.
Stack the ice cream balls on a serving plate, dotting the berries in between. Drizzle over the sauce and scatter over the remaining nuts. Dust with edible glitter, if you like, and serve immediately.
