Indulge in the rich and refreshing taste of homemade white chocolate and raspberry ice-cream. This delightful dessert combines the creamy sweetness of white chocolate with the tangy zest of fresh raspberries, making it the perfect treat for any occasion.
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the 1% milk and heavy whipping cream. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
2. Make the Custard:
- While the milk and cream are heating, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together in a separate bowl until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
- Gradually pour the hot milk and cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling. Once well mixed, return the mixture to the saucepan.
- Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula. Continue to cook until the mixture thickens and coats the back of the spoon (this is known as "nape"). The custard should reach a temperature of about 170-175°F (77-80°C). Do not let it boil.
- Once the custard is thickened, remove it from the heat and add the finely chopped white chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps or bits of cooked egg. Allow the custard to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
- Cover the custard with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until completely chilled.
- While the custard is chilling, prepare the raspberries by mashing them lightly with a fork in a small bowl. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can strain out the seeds using a fine-mesh sieve.
- Once the custard is thoroughly chilled, pour it into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. When the ice cream reaches a texture nearing soft-serve consistency, add the mashed raspberries.
- Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container, spreading it evenly. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming. Seal the container with its lid.
- Freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until firm.
- When ready to serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy your homemade white chocolate and raspberry ice cream!
