HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE & ALMOND
ICE CREAM
By Dan & Barbara Cannon
Ingredients: 3
egg Yolks 1
cup Sugar 1/3
cup Cocoa 1
1/2 cups Milk 2
cups Cream 1
tablespoon Vanilla extract 1
1/2 Tablespoon Almond extract 2/3
Cup of, toasted & smoked, chopped Almonds (I just chop them in half) Method: 1.
Beat milk and egg yolks together 2.
Blend in sugar 3.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat the
spoon 4.
Remove from heat and gently sift Cocoa, and Almond extract into the
mixture 5.
Beat
well until blended 6.
Cool, then add Cream and Vanilla extract 7.
Mix well and refrigerate overnight. 8.
Put in your favorite Ice Cream maker, add almonds, and pull when
complete. Be sure and put the Almonds in JUST after starting
freezing process. This
does about 3/4 of a quart or so. You can adjust the recipe to your
liking. Also, we just use one of those tabletop electric ice cream
makers. The barrel is kept in the freezer until it is needed. It
really does help to ensure the mixture is refrigerated prior to starting
the freezing process. This speeds up the completion time
substantially.
