Even after being frozen, these no-fail cookies stay moist and taste freshly baked. They are among my best holiday giveaway treats and are so easy to make. If you prefer, you can use other nut varieties, such as pecans or almonds. -Jessica Clemens, Wimbledon, North Dakota

BLACK WALNUT ICE CREAM

Black Walnut Ice Cream image

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.

Tips:

To make the perfect dacquoise, use finely ground nuts and egg whites that have been beaten until stiff peaks form. Over-beating the egg whites can result in a dry and crumbly dacquoise.
Be careful not to over-bake the dacquoise layers. They should be slightly golden brown and still slightly soft in the center.
When making the honey walnut ice cream, be sure to use fresh walnuts. Toasting the walnuts before using them will enhance their flavor.
When assembling the dacquoise, use a serrated knife to slice the layers evenly. Use a piping bag to evenly distribute the ice cream between the layers.
If you don't have a piping bag, you can spread the ice cream between the layers with a spoon or offset spatula.

Conclusion:

Walnut dacquoise with honey walnut ice cream is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The dacquoise layers are light and airy, while the ice cream is rich and creamy. The combination of flavors and textures is simply irresistible. If you are looking for a special dessert to impress your friends and family, this is the one for you.
