Toasted Almond Custard Ice Cream

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
Almonds are not just a garnish here; they are the star. The key is roasting the almonds beforehand to release essential oils and deepen the flavor. A cooked custard base (crème anglaise) is the perfect carrier for this nutty aroma. An elegant, classic flavor that stands alone or pairs perfectly with cake.

Allergen Information

⚠️ Milk
⚠️ Egg
⚠️ Tree Nuts (Almond)

Instructions

1 ✓

Toast the almonds in a dry skillet, cool, and grind finely.

Tip: Toast until the inside is pale brown, not just the skin. Watch closely to avoid burning!
2 ✓

Make the custard base: Heat milk, cream, and sugar. Temper the egg yolks with the hot liquid, then return to heat and thicken slowly.

Tip: Do not boil the egg mixture; just heat until it steams and thickens (approx. 175-180°F).
3 ✓

Stir the almonds and vanilla into the custard. Cool completely.

Tip: If you dislike the texture, steep overnight and strain. If you like crunch, leave it in.
4 ✓

Churn in an ice cream maker.

Tip: The oil content from the almonds makes this ice cream exceptionally creamy.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use almond flour?
Yes, but freshly toasted and ground whole almonds have a much more intense flavor as the oils haven't oxidized.
