Indulge in the rich, nutty flavor of burnt butter transformed into a creamy, decadent ice cream. This recipe combines simple ingredients to create a unique dessert that's sure to impress your friends and family.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Begin by melting the butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
- Continue cooking the butter, swirling the pan occasionally, until it turns a golden brown color and has a nutty aroma. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Once browned, remove the pan from the heat to prevent the butter from burning and set it aside to cool slightly.
- In another medium saucepan, warm the milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling. You want it steamy with small bubbles forming around the edges.
- Remove the milk from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and brown sugar until the mixture becomes thick and pale.
- Gradually pour the cooled browned butter into the egg yolk and sugar mixture, whisking continuously to combine.
- Slowly add the warm milk to the mixture while whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.
- Pour the combined mixture back into the saucepan and return it to the stove over medium-low heat.
- Cook the mixture, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula, until it thickens and coats the back of the spoon (between 170°F and 175°F or 76°C and 80°C on an instant-read thermometer). This should take about 5-8 minutes.
- Do not let the mixture boil, as boiling can cause the custard to curdle.
- Once thickened, pour the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any cooked egg bits and achieve a smooth texture.
- Stir in the light sour cream until fully incorporated.
- Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until it is thoroughly chilled.
- Once the custard base is well-chilled, pour it into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes about 20-25 minutes.
- The ice cream should be thick and creamy.
- Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Scoop the burnt butter ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy!
Tips:
- Use high-quality butter: High-quality butter will enhance the flavor and texture of your ice cream.
- Control the heat: When browning the butter, keep a close eye on it to prevent burning. You want a golden brown color with a nutty aroma.
- Chill the mixture: Ensure the custard mix is thoroughly chilled before churning in your ice cream maker for the best texture.
- Optional add-ins: Feel free to mix in some toasted nuts or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
