STEP 1
Make the caramel
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the sugar and honey over a low heat. Stir until you obtain a light amber caramel. Add the chopped nuts and stir quickly to coat them evenly.
STEP 2
Prepare the basket bases
Pour half of the mixture onto a sheet of baking paper, cover with a second sheet and roll out with a rolling pin to form a thin disc.
STEP 3
Shape the baskets
While the disc is still warm and pliable, place it over the inverted base of a muffin tin or small cup to create a basket shape. Repeat with the remaining mixture to make a second basket. Leave to cool and harden completely at room temperature for about 15 minutes, until crisp.
STEP 4
Add the ice cream and decorate
Shortly before serving, remove the Delizioso Amarena tub from the freezer. Place a generous scoop of ice cream inside each crunchy basket. Garnish with Amarena cherries in syrup and a generous sprinkling of white chocolate shavings.
