White chocolate brulee ice-cream

White chocolate brulee ice-cream is a delightful fusion of rich white chocolate and the crème brûlée experience, balanced with a hint of vanilla. This decadent dessert will surely be a hit at your next gathering or a special treat for indulgent moments. Follow this simple recipe to create a creamy and exquisite ice cream that marries the smoothness of white chocolate with the familiar comfort of a custard base.

Ingredients:

6 yolks
100g
3/4 cup sugar
170g
1/3 cup light sour cream
72g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
1/2 cup white chocolate
120g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Egg Yolk Mixture:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the 6 egg yolks and 3/4 cup of sugar until the mixture is pale and thick.
2. Heat the Sour Cream:
- In a saucepan, gently heat the 1/3 cup light sour cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Do not let it boil.
3. Temper the Egg Yolks:
- Slowly add the warm sour cream to the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan.
4. Cook the Custard:
- Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula, until it thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon. This should take around 5-7 minutes. Do not let the mixture boil as it could curdle.
5. Add the White Chocolate:
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add the chopped 1/2 cup white chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
6. Add Vanilla Extract:
- Stir in the 1 tsp vanilla extract.
7. Cool the Mixture:
- Pour the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, until thoroughly chilled.
8. Churn the Ice Cream:
- Once the custard is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn it according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
9. Freeze the Ice Cream:
- Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover the surface of the ice cream with a piece of plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming, then seal the container with its lid. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
10. Serve:
- Scoop and serve the white chocolate brûlée ice cream. For an extra touch, you could sprinkle a thin layer of sugar on top of each scoop and use a kitchen torch to create a caramelized brûlée crust, if desired.

Tips:

- Ensure you temper the eggs properly to avoid scrambling. Add the hot mixture slowly while constantly whisking.

- Using a good-quality white chocolate can significantly affect the flavor of your ice-cream.

- Chill the mixture thoroughly before churning to achieve the best texture.

- Avoid reducing the sugar, as it not only sweetens the ice-cream but also helps in achieving a smooth texture.

- To achieve a richer flavor, use pure vanilla extract instead of imitations or flavorings.

After following these steps, you'll end up with a luxurious and smooth white chocolate brulee ice-cream. Whether served alone or as a complement to other desserts, its rich flavor and creamy texture make it irresistible. Enjoy this treat with family and friends, or savor it during a quiet, indulgent moment. Perfecting this recipe means you can bring a touch of gourmet to your home kitchen.
