Ice cream and a tuile…

Crossed glances, shyness and smiles… even the ice cream was melting… 3 spice scoops in love with a tuile.

Spice ice cream

1 l milk
300 ml cream
9 egg yolks
300 g sugar
3 g soluble coffee
a pinch of vanilla
1 tbsp cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, tea, anise, ginger, etc…

1 – Bring the milk to boil with 100 ml of cream and spices. Add coffee and remove from heat. Sieve.

2 – Whisk egg yolks and 150 g of sugar. Add mixture 1 while it’s still hot stirring constantly.

3 – Prepare a caramel with the remaining sugar. Add the hot remaining cream previously.

Combine mixture 3 to 2+1.
Pour the mixture into the ice cream machine or frozen stirring regularly to prevent crystalization.

Walnut tuiles

Pre-heat the oven to 180º C.
Combine soft butter, sugar, egg whites and wheat flour in equal parts.
Pour the mixture over a silpat with the desired shapes and sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
Bake for 5 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden brown.
Let them cool down to stiff.

I’ve sprinkled the ice cream with icing sugar, cinnamon and cocoa.

    Oh, wow Leonor… I would love to end my meal with this scrumptious treat. The flavors in the ice cream pair so beautifully with your walnut tuiles. I can almost taste it through your gorgeous pictures.
