Paw Paw Ice Cream

Vanilla Anglaise

Toasted Almonds

Method

Paw Paw Ice Cream

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Whisk Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Gradually add the warm cream mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mixture

    Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.

  4. 4

    Chill and Blend

    Remove from heat, stir in the paw paw puree and vanilla extract. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.

  5. 5

    Churn the Ice Cream

    Churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. Transfer to a container and freeze until firm.

Vanilla Anglaise

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a saucepan, combine the milk, cream, sugar, and split vanilla bean. Heat until steaming but not boiling.

  2. 7

    Whisk Egg Yolks

    In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly.

  3. 8

    Cook the Mixture

    Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and cool.

Toasted Almonds

  1. 9

    Toast the Almonds

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sliced almonds until golden brown, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
