INSTANT CHOCOLATE HARD SHELL



Instant Chocolate Hard Shell image

Two ingredients and less than 5 minutes to a delicious chocolate candy shell for ice cream. After trying recipe after recipe that turned out either rock hard or thick gummy hard shells - I thought to read the ingredient list on a bottle of the store stuff and came up with this! You can use any oil that has NO flavor or has a flavor compatible with chocolate and your ice cream - canola or soybean work ok here, but the coconut oil sends the flavor over the top and makes it a tad crunchier! Drizzle on top of your favorite ice cream!

Categories     Chocolate     Nut     Dessert     Freeze/Chill     Christmas     Blackberry     Raspberry     Walnut     Summer     Bon Appétit

Number Of Ingredients 13

Praline
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 1/3 cups coarsely chopped walnuts
Terrine
4 large egg yolks
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup sugar
8 ounces high-quality white chocolate (such as Lindt or Perugina), chopped
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Blackberry-Raspberry Sauce

Steps:

  • For praline:
  • Line rimmed baking sheet with foil. Stir sugar, 1/2 cup water, and cream of tartar in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil without stirring until syrup is pale amber color, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan, about 5 minutes. Add nuts; stir with wooden spoon until coated with syrup. Continue to cook until syrup is deep amber color, gently pushing nuts into syrup, about 3 minutes longer. Immediately scrape mixture out onto prepared baking sheet, spreading as thinly as possible with metal spatula. Let praline stand until cool and firm, about 1 hour. Break praline into irregular pieces. Set aside a few pieces for garnish. Coarsely chop remaining praline. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.)
  • For terrine:
  • Whisk yolks in bowl to blend. Bring cream, milk, and sugar to simmer in heavy medium saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Gradually whisk cream mixture into yolks; return to saucepan and stir constantly until mixture thickens slightly and instant-read thermometer inserted into mixture registers 170°F, about 3 minutes (do not boil). Transfer custard to 4-cup measuring cup; cool slightly.
  • Place white chocolate in medium metal bowl. Set bowl over saucepan of barely simmering water; stir just until chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove bowl from over water. Gradually whisk warm custard into melted chocolate. Mix in vanilla. Cover and chill custard at least 4 hours and up to 1 day.
  • Process custard in ice cream maker. Transfer ice cream to container; cover and freeze at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Line 9x5x3-inch loaf pan with double layer of plastic wrap, leaving 4-inch overhang. Spread 1/3 of ice cream over bottom of prepared loaf pan; sprinkle with half of chopped praline. Spread half of remaining ice cream over; sprinkle with remaining chopped praline. Spread remaining ice cream over. Fold plastic wrap over to cover. Freeze overnight. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Keep frozen.)
  • Invert terrine onto platter; remove plastic wrap. Serve terrine with sauce and garnish with reserved praline pieces.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will directly impact the flavor of your ice cream topping. Opt for a good quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Toast the nuts: Toasting the nuts will enhance their flavor and make them more fragrant. You can toast them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Chop the nuts finely: Finely chopped nuts will distribute evenly throughout the ice cream topping and provide a more consistent texture.
  • Use heavy cream: Heavy cream will give the ice cream topping a rich and creamy texture. You can also use half-and-half, but the topping will be less thick and creamy.
  • Don't overcook the sugar: When making the praline, be careful not to overcook the sugar. Overcooked sugar will become bitter and burnt.
  • Let the praline cool completely: Before adding the praline to the ice cream, let it cool completely. This will prevent the ice cream from melting.

Conclusion:

This chocolate praline ice cream topping is an easy and delicious way to add a touch of sweetness and crunch to your favorite ice cream. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a topping that will take your ice cream to the next level. So next time you're enjoying a scoop of ice cream, be sure to top it with a generous serving of chocolate praline topping. Your taste buds will thank you!
