Yield:
4 Servings

Categories:
Ice,
Cream




Ingredients:





   1/4 c  Blanched almonds


     2 c  Milk


   2/3 c  Heavy cream


     3    Egg yolks


   1/2 c  Superfine sugar


     1 ts Kirsch






 Pound the almond into paste. Add milk and heavy cream, mix thoroughly


 together. In a saucepan, heat the almond mixture to a boil. Remove from


 heat. In a bowl, mix egg yolks, sugar and kirsch for 5 minutes. Add almond


 milk and mix well with wooden spoon. Heat the mixture over low heat for 5


 minutes without letting it boil.  Stir continuously. Then allow it to cool.


 Strain through a sieve into ice cream maker and freeze until the ice cream


 is thoroughly firm.


 


 I think you can probably use instant almond paste or almond extract instead


 of pounding almond.  Be careful that the paste or extract is sweetened or


 not. Also, you can add chopped fruits or nuts into the mixture. Just use


 your imagination and creativity.
