Hazelnut Ice Cream with Sour Cherries and Honey
Rich and creamy hazelnut ice cream with tart sour cherries and sweet honey swirled in, topped with rich chunks of chocolate.
ingredients
- 1 cup hazelnuts, toasted
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 5 egg yolks
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup sour cherries, pitted
- 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate
steps
- 1.
In a blender or food processor, grind the hazelnuts until finely ground.
- 2.
In a large saucepan, heat the cream, milk, sugar, salt, and ground hazelnuts over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
- 3.
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add 1 cup of the hot cream mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs.
- 4.
Pour the yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture, stirring constantly until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- 5.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Let cool for 30 minutes, then stir in the honey and sour cherries. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- 6.
Churn the ice cream mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. During the last few minutes of churning, add the chopped chocolate. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
