Preparation

How to prepare Vanilla ice cream with crunchy nuts

To make vanilla ice cream with crunchy nuts, start by placing the condensed milk in a large bowl 1, then take the vanilla pod, cut it lengthwise with a sharp knife 2, and extract the seeds 3

and add them to the condensed milk 4, mix with a whisk 5, and set aside. In another bowl, pour the fresh liquid cream 6

and whip it to stiff peaks 7, incorporate the vanilla-flavored condensed milk into the cream 8, and gently mix with a spatula to avoid deflating the cream 9 until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.

Butter a high-edged mold or baking pan, a loaf pan is perfect for this preparation, line the edges and bottom with parchment paper 10, and pour the vanilla ice cream inside 11. Place the mixture in the freezer to set for 6-8 hours 12.

After the indicated time, your ice cream will be ready, focus on garnishing with the nuts. Place a small pot on the stove, pour in the granulated sugar 13, and melt over low heat until the sugar becomes dark 14 and liquid. At this point, turn off the heat and dip the nuts for a few moments to coat them with the caramel 15,

remove the nuts with kitchen tongs 16 and place them on a tray covered with parchment paper 17. Now you can compose your ice cream cups: take a glass ice cream bowl and put a first layer of caramelized nuts 18,

then add a scoop of ice cream 19 and continue layering, alternating the ice cream with the nuts and caramel 20. Your vanilla ice cream with crunchy nuts is ready to be enjoyed! 21.

Storage

You can store the vanilla ice cream in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Advice
