Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Vegetable Soup Recipes

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

18 plum tomatoes, chopped
6 leaves fresh basil, julienned
2 cups extra-virgin olive oil, or as needed
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup cream
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place the tomatoes and basil into a large pot or bowl. Use a stick blender, food processor, or blender to puree the tomatoes and basil together. Gradually blend in the oil to form a good emulsion. If pureeing the mixture in smaller batches, add a bit of oil to each one. Season with salt and ground black pepper, but remember, the Parmesan ice cream will be salty. Place the tomato preparation in the refrigerator while the ice cream is prepared.
  • Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, and continue to cook and stir until the cheese is melted, and the mixture is uniform. Season with a dash of freshly ground black pepper, and remove to a small bowl to cool. This will temper the mixture, so it will freeze more smoothly and evenly. When the cheese mixture has cooled a bit, place it in the freezer.
  • Take the tomato mixture from the refrigerator, and pass it through a chinois, food mill or strainer with medium holes to remove bits of peel and seeds. The result should be a creamy liquid, not a tomato juice.
  • Serve the cold soup in small bowls or large cups. Make little balls with the frozen cheese using a dessert spoon. Place a little ball of the Parmesan ice cream into each bowl just before serving.

CHARLIE TROTTERS WHOLE ROASTED FIGS WITH GOATS' CHEESE ICE CREAM, SPICY FIG SAUCE AND OATMEAL TUILES



Charlie Trotters Whole Roasted Figs with Goats' Cheese Ice Cream, Spicy Fig Sauce and Oatmeal Tuiles image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield Approximately 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 26

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped lemon zest
3 tablespoons honey
1/3 cup flour
3 tablespoons rolled oats, lightly toasted
12 fresh figs
1/2 cup simple syrup, (equal amounts water and sugar heated until sugar dissolves), cooled
2 tablespoons port
6 tablespoons heavy cream
2 ounces goats' cheese
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Goats' Cheese Ice Cream, recipe follows
Spicy Fig Sauce, recipe follows
1 tablespoon baby thyme sprigs
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
4 egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons corn syrup
4 ounces goat cheese
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice, warm
1/2 cup chopped fresh figs
1 star anise
3 whole black peppercorns

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • To make the tuiles: In a mixer fitted with a paddle, cream the butter, sugar, and lemon zest. Add the honey and flour and mix well. Spread about 1/2 teaspoon of the batter onto a Silpat-lined or nonstick sheet pan. Use a small offset spatula to spread the tuile into a 1 3/4-inch circle. Repeat the process, making at least 18 tuiles (the extra will allow for breakage). Sprinkle the top of each tuile with a pinch of rolled oats, reserving 1/2 tablespoon for garnish. Bake for 5 minutes, or until golden brown. (The tuiles may be cut with a ring cutter after cooking for a more precise shape.) Immediately transfer the tuile to a countertop or other flat surface to cool.
  • To prepare the figs: Cut the tops off 6 of the figs. Use a small spoon to press a cavity into each fig and dip the whole fig in the simple syrup. Fill the figs with the port. (If the figs have any holes in the bottoms, cut small pieces off the tops to fill the holes.) Place the filled figs on a sheetpan and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes, or until they have softened. Slice the remaining 6 figs in half lengthwise and then cut them crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices. Warm the slices in the remaining simple syrup.
  • To make the goat cheese cream: Thoroughly combine 2 tablespoons of the heavy cream with the goat cheese and granulated sugar. Whisk the remaining 1/4 cup cream until it reaches soft peaks and fold into the goat cheese mixture.
  • To assemble, place 3 to 4 fig slices on one half of each plate. Place a small spoonful of the goat cheese cream on the figs and top with a tuile. Spoon another small spoonful of the cream, 3 to 4 fig slices, another tablespoon of the cream, and a tuile on top of the first stack. Build another layer with a spoon of cream, figs, another spoonful of cream, and a tuile. Place a roasted fig alongside the stacked figs and top with a quenelle of Goat Cheese Ice Cream. Spoon the Spicy Fig Sauce around the plates and sprinkle with the thyme sprigs and the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oatmeal.
  • Prepare an ice water bath. Bring the cream and milk to a boil. Whisk together the egg yolks, and sugar, and slowly pour in some of the hot cream to temper the eggs. Pour the eggs into the cream and continue to cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the mixture coats the back of a spoon and steam rises from the top. Whisk together the corn syrup and goat cheese and then whisk this mixture into the cream mixture until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and chill over the ice water bath. Freeze in an ice cream machine. Keep frozen until ready to use.
  • Cook the sugar in a heavy-bottomed saute pan over medium heat for 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Add the orange juice and bring to a boil. Add the figs, star anise, and peppercorns, bring to a boil, and cook for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve, pushing on the solids to remove as much liquid as possible. If necessary, thin with a little warm water to a make a sauce consistency.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the ice cream will be. Use fresh cream cheese, heavy cream, and milk. You can also use flavored cream cheese, such as strawberry or blueberry, to add a unique flavor to your ice cream.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened: Before you start making the ice cream, make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature. This will help it blend smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Use a good ice cream maker: An ice cream maker is essential for making smooth and creamy ice cream. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can use a hand mixer or a blender, but the results will not be as good.
  • Churn the ice cream until it is thick and creamy: The churning process is what turns the liquid ice cream mixture into a thick and creamy frozen treat. Churn the ice cream for at least 20 minutes, or until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Store the ice cream in the freezer for at least 4 hours before serving: This will allow the ice cream to firm up and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

Cream cheese ice cream is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple ingredients and an ice cream maker, you can enjoy homemade cream cheese ice cream in no time. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try today!
