Many families traditionally enjoy chocolates made in the shape of Santa Claus at Christmas time. This version of the jolly old elf is made with premium sorbet or ice cream hand-molded into a traditional old-European style Santa Claus.
Luxury ice cream or top quality sorbet is tempered, then hand-formed into the iconic shape of Father Christmas using traditional ice cream molding techniques. Each figure is then hand-glazed with ice for surface decoration, a delightful crunch, and slower melting on the plate. The molding process removes much of the air normally found in ice cream and sorbets, concentrating their flavor.
Each Santa is roughly 3 inches tall and can be used as a small single serving.
St. Clair Ice Cream has been crafting these gorgeous desserts for weddings, fancy dinners, and other gatherings for over 22 years. The techniques they use for this dying art are far older, passed down to them by one of the last small artisanal molded ice cream shops.

Caution: St. Clair ice creams ship with dry ice, which means that the temperature is significantly below freezing. Therefore, the ice creams will be very hard when taken straight of the box. Please let the ice creams sit in the freezer for a couple hours or on the counter for a few minutes before biting into them. Further, do not handle dry ice with your bare hands. Use gloves and place dry ice in the sink, away from children, where it can melt safely. Ice creams are produced in a facility that processes nuts and eggs.
Serve these ice cream/sorbet Santa Claus as a festive light dessert at your next Christmas party or holiday gathering. Because of their small size, the raspberry sorbet flavor can work particularly well as a beautiful palate cleanser between courses.
Keep them in your freezer until a few minutes prior to consumption (they will be too hard to eat straight from the freezer). Direct contact with metal will cause them to melt faster. If your bowls, plates or platters are metal, put an insulating layer underneath the ice cream/sorbet like a cloth, food safe leaf, or
edible flower petals. They would also look beautiful served on eco-friendly
disposable palm leaf plates or bowls.
