Praline Ice Cream

 

 

Ingredients

  • 4 egg yolks

  • 8 oz (255g) caster sugar

  • 3/4 pint (420ml) milk

  • 2 oz (50g) blanched almonds

  • 1/4 pint (150ml) whipping cream

Preparation Method

Heat the oven to 320 degree F (160C, gas mark 3)

Combine egg yolks with 6 oz (170g) of sugar in a bowl.  Whisk until the mixture is very pale and falls back leaving a trail when the beaters are lifted.  Gradually whisk in the milk.

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

Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 10 minutes or until they are lightly browned.  Then spread the almonds on a lightly oiled surface.

Put the remaining sugar and 4 tablespoons of water into a small, heavy sauce pan and heat gently until it has dissolved and turns a deep golden brown.  Immediately pour the caramel over the nuts - it does not matter if it does not cover all of them - leave until cold. 

Crush the praline 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 (refer to home), vigorously whisking the partially frozen ice at least once during the freezing process.
