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.

Tips:

  • Use a food processor: Finely grind almonds in a food processor to achieve a smooth and creamy texture in your ice cream.
  • Soak almonds overnight: Soaking almonds overnight softens them, making them easier to blend and resulting in a richer almond flavor.
  • Use full-fat ingredients: Whole milk and heavy cream provide a richer, creamier texture compared to low-fat alternatives.
  • Chill the mixture thoroughly: Before churning, ensure the ice cream mixture is well-chilled. This helps it churn faster and prevents it from becoming icy.
  • Churn the ice cream until it reaches a soft-serve consistency: This prevents over-churning and ensures a smooth, scoopable texture.
  • Garnish with roasted almonds: To enhance the almond flavor and add a crunchy texture, sprinkle roasted and chopped almonds on top of the ice cream before serving.

Conclusion:

Almond Delight Ice Cream is a delectable dessert that combines the rich flavor of almonds with the refreshing coolness of ice cream. By following the tips mentioned above, you can easily create this delightful treat at home. With its creamy texture, nutty flavor, and elegant appearance, this ice cream is sure to impress your friends and family.
