I have been quite busy recently and unable to blog as much as I wanted. The good thing, though, is that I am now going to be able to blog again! Not sure whether this is such a good thing or not.
Anyway, the other reason I have not been able to blog is that the last poll I posted was about dessert and I was asked to post an easy and/or chocolate recipe. The problem is that, as I am mostly on my own, I tend not to cook desserts and especially chocolate dessert. If I do, I end up eating chocolate for the rest of the week. Now that the winter is on our doorstep again, I don't mind so much. I need the calories! And on top of that, I thought of an idea to make a dessert that lasts for a while. I decided to make ice-cream!
So, I did make that easy chocolate dessert two days ago: I made white chocolate ice-cream.
White chocolate ice-cream
Ingredients:
- 250 ml of cream
- 250 ml of full-fat milk
- 6 egg yolks
- 75 gr caster sugar
- The seeds of a vanilla pod
- 100 gr of good quality white chocolate, cut into squares
- White chocolate drops
Procedure:
1. Heat up the milk and the cream in a saucepan until very hot (do not boil).
2. Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar together.
3. Pour the milk-cream mixture into the egg-sugar mix whisking.
4. Pour the mixture into a saucepan with the vanilla and heat up slowly until the mix coats the back of a wooden spoon.
5. Take the mixture off the heat when it's reached the proper consistency. Put the white chocolate squares into it and mix well until melted. Let the mixture cool. Once cooled, add the white chocolate drops into it.
6. Pour into an ice-cream maker or a plastic box and freeze.
Et voilà!
Serving suggestions:
As you can see on the picture, I served the white chocolate ice-cream with praline crumbs and dark chocolate sauce.
This evening, we had some of the ice-cream with fresh strawberries, strawberry coulis and meringue. It was gorgeous!
