Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 3h30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 cups Florida Crystals Organic Sugar
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup heavy cream, warm
1/2 cup butter
3 tablespoons candied ginger root, finely chopped
2 cups roughly chopped macadamia nuts
4 sheets spring roll wrappers
Water to seal
1 cup milk
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 vanilla bean split
4 egg yolks
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup dark corn syrup
2 cups cider vinegar
4 cups Florida Crystals Organic Sugar
2 tablespoons pickled ginger, sliced thin
1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
3 star anise
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch saffron
8 carambola (star fruit) sliced thin

Steps:

  • To make the macadamia nut filling, use a small saucepan over medium heat and combine the sugar and water, then bring to a boil and cook until it caramelizes to a nice amber color. Remove from heat and add the cream slowly. Return to heat and stir until sugar and cream are completely incorporated and smooth. Add butter, candied ginger, and chopped nuts, then allow to cool slightly. If mixture gets too firm, simply warm to make pliable.
  • To assemble, place the 4 spring roll wrappers down on the table so 1 point is facing 6 o'clock. Divide the mixture evenly between the 4 wrappers. Fold the point facing 6 o'clock over the filling and continue to roll. Fold over the left side, and then the right side to seal the ends and continue to roll until a small triangle remains. Brush edge with water and press to seal the end. Fry in 360 degree F oil just to brown the skin. Cut in half and put aside.
  • To make the brown sugar ice cream, begin by bringing the milk, heavy cream, split vanilla bean, and sugar to a boil. Combine yolks and karo syrup and stir. Pour half of the boiling liquid into the yolks and stir until combined. Add remaining liquid and put back on the heat and continue to stir until you reach a temperature of 180 degrees F. Strain and cool in an ice bath. Place in an ice cream freezer and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • To make the pickled carambola, using a medium pot over medium high heat, combine vinegar, sugar, ginger, peppercorns, anise, vanilla, and saffron. Bring just to a boil, then remove from heat. Add carambola, and let steep for 5 minutes. Remove carambola with skimmer and cool. Cool liquid over an ice bath. Add cold carambola to cold syrup, cover, and keep refrigerated.
  • To plate, place both spring rolls on a plate with a bowl of the pickled carambola and a bowl of brown sugar ice cream. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh ginger. Ginger that has been sitting around for a while will have lost its flavor and potency.
  • If you don't have a microplane, you can grate the ginger with a regular grater. Just be sure to grate it finely.
  • You can use any type of macadamia nuts you like. Whole macadamia nuts, macadamia nut pieces, or even macadamia nut butter will all work.
  • If you don't have any coconut milk, you can use another type of milk, such as almond milk or regular cow's milk.
  • If the mixture is too dry, add a little more coconut milk. If it's too wet, add a little more macadamia nuts.
  • The snowballs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

These Ginger Macadamia Nut Snowballs are a delicious and easy-to-make holiday treat. They're the perfect combination of sweet, chewy, and nutty, and they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a festive and delicious snack, give these snowballs a try. You won't be disappointed!
