White chocolate ice-cream pyramids

Create a luxurious and delightful dessert with these White Chocolate Ice-Cream Pyramids. This recipe combines the creamy richness of white chocolate with a smooth, custard-like ice-cream base to create an elegant treat that’s sure to impress your guests or satisfy your sweet tooth.

Ingredients:

6 yolks
100g
1/4 cup sugar
50g
1/3 cup light sour cream
72g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
1/2 cup white chocolate
120g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Yolks and Sugar:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the 6 egg yolks and 1/4 cup of sugar until the mixture becomes pale and creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed or about 5 minutes by hand with a whisk.
2. Combine with Sour Cream and Vanilla:
- Add the 1/3 cup light sour cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the yolk and sugar mixture. Whisk until fully combined and smooth.
3. Melt the White Chocolate:
- Place the finely chopped 1/2 cup white chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (be sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water) to gently melt the chocolate. Stir constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
4. Temper the Yolk Mixture:
- Gradually add the melted white chocolate to the yolk mixture, stirring constantly. It's important to add the chocolate slowly to avoid cooking the yolks. Blend until the mixture is smooth and fully integrated.
5. Cook the Mixture:
- Pour the entire mixture back into the saucepan and place over low heat. Stir the mixture constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula until it thickens slightly, enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to let it boil.
6. Cool Down the Mixture:
- Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming on the top.
7. Freeze the Mixture:
- Transfer the cooled mixture into silicone pyramid molds or small cups, smoothing the tops with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming on the surface.
8. Freeze Until Firm:
- Place the molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until they are fully firm.
9. Serve:
- Once frozen solid, gently remove the white chocolate ice-cream pyramids from the molds. Serve immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to serve.

Tips:

- When melting the white chocolate, ensure you use a double boiler or microwave in short intervals to prevent burning.

- For best results, use high-quality white chocolate for a smoother and richer taste.

- Make sure to constantly whisk the egg yolks and sugar mixture to prevent the eggs from curdling.

- If you don't have light sour cream, you can substitute with regular sour cream or Greek yogurt for a similar texture and taste.

- Chill the mixture thoroughly before freezing to achieve a smooth and creamy texture.

- Use pyramid-shaped molds for an impressive presentation, but any mold or container can work if you don’t have the specific shape.

Enjoy your decadent White Chocolate Ice-Cream Pyramids! This sophisticated yet simple dessert is perfect for special occasions or whenever you need a sweet escape. Garnish with fresh berries or a drizzle of chocolate sauce to elevate the presentation and flavor.
