Black Forest Gateaux should be served with...

[Motherofmonsters]

Cream not chocolate ice cream.

Went to a restaurant today and the option was black Forest Gateaux with chocolate ice cream, that just seems wrong to me!

I make a Black Forest ice cream which goes very well with the gateau

I think it should just be served as is. No cream. No ice-cream. Though ice-cream and cake is a match made in heaven.

Vanilla ice cream or cream.. not chocolate ice cream imo

YANBU

I don't think it should be served at all

Chocolate fudge cake yes. Black Forest Gateaux should be confined to the 70s and never be allowed to return...

A merlot

Yep. Double cream poured over it. Yum.

I came here to say cream. YANBU.

Cream yes! Not chocolate ice cream ugh. No way

Chantilly cream!

Is it still around? I thought it had been left on a hostess trolley in the 1980’s. Grim stuff.

Thick whipped cream.

Just a spoon

Lashings of double cream.

More black forest gateaux clearly ! Cream if you must.

@Catcrazy83

Just a spoon

Hear, hear

It should be lovely, but it never is.

Throw the gateaux away and eat the ice cream.

Whipped cream, nothing else. I know it's dated but by god it's delicious. I've lost my DM's original 70s recipe sadly. I had black forest cake in the actual Black Forest a few years ago and it was epic.

Yes, cream!

Absolutely nothing at all, it's disgusting.

Oooo I love a Black Forest gateaux! Definitely cream.

A little bit of pouring cream.

A good black forest gateau is one of the best legacies of the 1970s!

Neither, just a liqueur on the side, a cherry brandy, or a baileys perhaps. Surely there is enough cream in a BFG as it is if it's made to a traditional recipe?

An enormous spoon! Very 70s, but one of my absolute favourites.😁

Tip Top of course.
