Delicious Ice Cream and Sorbet Recipes

Hazelnut Ice Cream (4 servings)

 

 

Ingredients

  • 4 oz (120g) shelled hazelnuts

  • 4 egg yolks

  • 6 oz (170g) caster sugar

  • 1/2 pint (280ml) milk

  • 1/2 pint (280ml) whipping cream

Preparation Method

Heat the oven to 325 degree F (160 C, gas mark 3)

Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until their centers are pale biscuit color.  Turn the nuts on to a cloth and rub off the skins.  Cool, then process tem in a food processor.  Set aside.

Combine the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl.  Whisk until the mixture is very pale and falls back leaving a trail when the beaters are lifted.  Gradually beat in the milk.

Cook custard carefully in a heavy sauce pan over a low heat or cook it in the top of a double boiler, stirring it constantly until it is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.  Take the custard off the heat and set it aside to cool, stirring it from time to time to prevent a skin forming.

Stir in ground hazelnuts into the cold custard.  Whip the cream until it holds soft peaks and fold it in

Freeze in a sorbetière following the manufacturer's instructions.  Or still-freeze, vigorously whisking the partially frozen ice at least once during the freezing process.
