White Chocolate Amaretti Ice Cream image

This rich dessert is based on a classic recipe from Philadelphia; it's much easier to make than traditional ice cream.

Yield Makes 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 ounces good-quality white chocolate, roughly chopped
2 cups milk
2 cups heavy cream
8 extra-large egg yolks
1 cup superfine sugar
Pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 cups (about 7 ounces) amaretti cookies, lightly crushed

Steps:

  • Place white chocolate in a small bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted; set aside.
  • Combine the milk and cream in a small saucepan set over low heat, and cook until scalded or when bubbles start to form on the edge. Turn off heat.
  • Place the egg yolks, sugar, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, and beat on high speed until light yellow, about 3 minutes. On low speed, slowly add the scalded milk and cream, and beat until combined.
  • Transfer the mixture into a clean medium saucepan, and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, over low heat until slightly thickened and the mixture coats the back of the spoon, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in the reserved melted chocolate and vanilla extract. Strain the mixture into a clean bowl, and refrigerate until very cold, at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Add the crushed amaretti to the chilled mixture, and stir to combine. Freeze mixture in an ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

This ice cream is a bit too icy for my taste. I think I'll try churning it for a shorter amount of time next time.

I had some trouble finding amaretti cookies, but I finally found them at a specialty grocery store. They were worth the search!

This ice cream is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I was a bit skeptical about the combination of white chocolate and amaretti cookies, but I was pleasantly surprised. The flavors work really well together.

I love how easy this ice cream is to make. I don't have an ice cream maker, so I just froze it in a loaf pan and it turned out great.
