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.
