ALMOND ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, cook ½ cup sliced almonds with the sugar and the salt over medium heat until deeply golden and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Reserve.
• In the same pot, toast 1 cup sliced almonds until deeply golden, about 5 minutes. Add cream, milk, sugar and salt to the pot and simmer until sugar completely dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove pot from heat. In a separate bowl, whisk yolks. Whisking constantly, slowly whisk about a third of the hot cream into the yolks, then whisk the yolk mixture back into the pot with the cream.
• Return pot to medium-low heat and gently cook until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer). Remove from heat and let steep 1 hour.
• Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing down hard on the solids. Add almond extract to base and cool mixture to room temperature. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or overnight.

TOASTED ALMOND ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast 10-15 minutes, until fragrant and toasted, but be careful not to burn them. Let cool, then chop into small pieces and set aside.
• In a medium sauce pan, mix the sugar, milk, half of the cream and pinch of salt and heat over medium heat just until the edges start to bubble and steam. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins steaming and bubbling around the edges. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks in a separate bowl and set aside.
• When milk mixture is steaming and bubbling around the edges, remove 1 cup of it and slowly drizzle the hot milk mixture into the beaten yolks while whisking continuously, to temper the eggs. Make sure not to scramble the eggs by adding all the hot liquid too fast. Add remaining milk mixture and stir to combine into a thin custard. Pour the custard mixture back into the saucepan and continue cooking until it starts to coats the back of a wooden spoon (between 170 and 175 on a candy thermometer) - typically only 1-2 minutes.
• Pour the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream into a medium bowl, then add the warm custard by first pouring through a clean mesh strainer into remaining heavy cream and stirring to combine. Add vanilla and almond extract, then cover and cool completely in the refrigerator (4-6 hours or overnight) before churning.
• Once the custard base is thoroughly chilled, pour into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. When the ice cream is about halfway churned, add in the chopped roasted almonds and allow the ice cream to continue to churn until it is done. My ice cream maker only takes about 20 minutes to reach a soft serve stage. Pour churned soft-serve ice cream into a freezer-safe container, cover and place in a freezer to cure for at least 4-6 hours so the ice cream can harden all the way through.

CHERRY RIPPLE & ALMOND CRUNCH ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Remove the stalks and stones from 300g cherries (some garlic crushers have a cherry pitter on the handle, but if not, simply use a knife), then roughly chop. Put into a medium pan, add 85g caster sugar, then cook very gently for 10 mins until the sugar melts. Turn up the heat a little, then simmer for 15 mins until softened and surrounded by a syrupy sauce. Cool completely.
• Meanwhile, put the cream, icing sugar and Disaronno into a large bowl. Whip the cream until it just holds its shape. Fold in the custard, then churn in an ice-cream machine until very thick.
• For the almond crunch, lightly oil a baking sheet. Put 2 tbsp caster sugar into a non-stick pan, then gently heat until the sugar melts. Swirl or stir the sugar a few times if it melts unevenly, then bubble for 30 secs or until the sugar turns to amber caramel. Stir in the nuts, then pour onto the sheet. Cool completely until brittle. Snap into chunks, then put into a food bag and crush with a rolling pin.
• Spoon the soft ice cream into a freezer-proof container, then spoon over ribbons of the syrupy cherries and scatter with the crunchy nut caramel. Ripple through a few times with a knife. Freeze for at least 6 hrs, or ideally overnight. Serve with the whole cherries and almond biscotti.

ALMOND ICE CREAM WITH ALMOND TOFFEE CRUNCH RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Make the ice cream base: Heat the quart of goat's milk and 1/2 cup of sugar with the whole almonds just 'til the edges start to bubble. Turn off the heat and let sit for about an hour. Remove the almonds and set aside. Add a pinch of salt and reheat until the edges start to bubble. Turn off the heat. Whisk the egg yolks with the other 1/2 cup of sugar. Add a small amount of the hot milk to the egg mixture to temper it - whisk quickly so the eggs don't curdle. Add a bit more. Then add the egg mixture to the milk mixture and reheat over med heat until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. Pour into a bowl and cool over night. Preheat your oven to 350°. Peal the almonds you had set aside and dry. Place on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven until they start to brown and pop. It should take about 15 minutes but watch them - they will turn quickly. Remove from the oven and chop to use in the toffee. To make the toffee: This is a slight change to a recipe from AllRecipes.com In a large, heavy bottomed sauce pan melt the butter, salt and sugar together, stirring until the butter is melted. Allow to boil and cook until it reaches 285° (137°C) on a candy thermometer stirring occasionally. While this is cooking line a heavy duty, rimmed baking sheet with foil, parchment or a silpat mat. As soon as the toffee reaches the desired temperature pour it onto the prepared pan. Sprinkle the chips over the top - I did mine half on one side, half on the other. Let it sit for a bit for the chips to melt then spread them around evenly. Sprinkle the almonds on top and press in to set. Put in the refrigerator to harden. After it has set take enough off to chop so you have 1 cup of pieces to add to the finished ice cream. Enjoy the rest! When you are ready to make the ice cream set up your machine per it's instructions - I have a Cuisinart quart and a half machine. Add the base mixture to the machine and add the additional half cup of milk. Let the machine run and just before the ice cream is ready to remove to the freezer add in the cup of chopped toffee. Remove to a container to freeze.
