Categories     ice creams and sorbets, dessert

Time 40m

Yield About 1 1/2 pints

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup sliced almonds
2 tablespoons sugar
Pinch of salt
1 cup sliced almonds
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cups whole milk
2/3 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
6 large egg yolks
1/4 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, cook ½ cup sliced almonds with the sugar and the salt over medium heat until deeply golden and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Reserve.
  • In the same pot, toast 1 cup sliced almonds until deeply golden, about 5 minutes. Add cream, milk, sugar and salt to the pot and simmer until sugar completely dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove pot from heat. In a separate bowl, whisk yolks. Whisking constantly, slowly whisk about a third of the hot cream into the yolks, then whisk the yolk mixture back into the pot with the cream.
  • Return pot to medium-low heat and gently cook until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer). Remove from heat and let steep 1 hour.
  • Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing down hard on the solids. Add almond extract to base and cool mixture to room temperature. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Churn in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions. Break reserved caramelized nuts into pieces and add to base during the last 2 minutes of churning. Serve directly from the machine for soft serve, or store in freezer until needed.

This refreshing fruit salad recipe with a wonderful twist comes from Hawaii. It's a conversation piece as well...great for parties and potlucks. The Almond Ice will have everyone guessing why these 'ice cubes' don't melt!! Hint: Avoid citrus fruits so the gelatin remains firm.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality almonds: The flavor of your ice cream will depend on the quality of your almonds. Look for fresh, plump almonds that are free of blemishes.
  • Toast the almonds before using them: Toasting the almonds will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant. You can toast the almonds in the oven or in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Use a good quality ice cream maker: An ice cream maker that is in good working condition will produce smooth and creamy ice cream. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this recipe, but the ice cream will be more icy.
  • Chill the ice cream base before churning: Chilling the ice cream base before churning will help it to churn more quickly and smoothly.
  • Don't over churn the ice cream: Over churning the ice cream will make it tough and icy. Churn the ice cream just until it is thick and creamy.

Conclusion:

Almond Delight Ice Cream is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and creamy dessert that will surely impress your friends and family.
