BLACK WALNUT ICE CREAM

My dad and I loved black walnut anything. Black walnuts taste very different than English walnuts so I created this one on his behalf. I like it best topped with caramel sauce or honey.

Steps:

  • Make ice cream:

  • Transfer custard to ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer ice cream to container; cover and freeze.

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour 13x9x2-inch metal baking pan. Process walnuts and powdered sugar in processor until nuts are finely ground. Transfer to large bowl. Add almond flour, all purpose flour, and salt. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites and vanilla extract in large bowl until frothy.

Tips:

  • Choose the right walnuts: Use fresh, high-quality black walnuts for the best flavor. Look for walnuts that are dark brown or black in color, and avoid any that are shriveled or moldy.
  • Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts before using them in the ice cream will enhance their flavor and aroma. Spread the walnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until they are fragrant and slightly browned.
  • Use a good quality ice cream maker: An ice cream maker with a built-in compressor will produce the best results. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this ice cream using the traditional method of freezing and stirring, but it will take longer.
  • Chill the ice cream base thoroughly before churning: This will help the ice cream freeze more quickly and smoothly.
  • Churn the ice cream according to the manufacturer's instructions: Over-churning the ice cream can make it grainy.
  • Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving: This will allow the ice cream to firm up and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

Black walnut ice cream is a delicious and unique treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give black walnut ice cream a try. You won't be disappointed!
