plating desserts

[rustedeye]

Just curious if anybody out there would ever consider putting ice cream and gellato on the same plate. FYI the plate consists of a mini warm chocolate cake with buttermilk gelato, a saffron poached pear with lemon madelines and date ice cream. this wasnt my idea and was just curious if having two different frozen items on one plate is going out of bounds

thanks everybody.

Danno, it sounds great, but I might leave out the madelines and have:

a duo of warm chocolate cake with buttermilk gelato, a saffron poached pear with date ice cream.

Restaurants often have plated desserts with icecrem and sorbet. Can't think of a reason it wouldn't work or be delicious.
