Notes
You may prepare the red sauce as well as the ice mess beforehand & store it in the fridge. About 1 h before serving put the ice mess in the freezer & proceed as described.
The ice cream will be ok for 4 servings.
There will be more red sauce than you'll need (my experience!). You can use the leftover for yoghurt, for fruit salad ... whatever.
