Cook the sponge according to packet instructions; once sponge is done set aside to cool and prepare the ice cream according to packet instructions. Slice the sponge in small slices and place along the bottom of a dish, soak in milk. Mix half the candied peel, half the grated chocolate and half the granella with the Vanilla Ice Cream and pour over the sponge slices. Cover with some more slices of the sponge and soak with some more milk. Mix the rest of the candied peel, grated chocolate and granella with the Chocolate Ice Cream, leave a little to decorate the top. Spread the ice cream over the sponge. For the last time, cover the top with slices of sponge, and soak with the remaining milk. Freeze until solid, to decorate easily.

Prepare the topping mix according to packet instructions; with a piping bag, decorate the top of the sponge with small florets. Sprinkle over the top the remaining chocolate and granella. Store in the freezer; take out of freezer 15 to 30 minutes before serving, depending on the day’s temperature.
