Scale
Custard:
- 0.75 cup (150g) sugar
- 2 cups (500ml) whole milk
- 3 medium eggs (whites and yolks separated)
Ice Cream Flavouring:
- 5.25 oz (150g) soft Jijona turron (crumbled)
- 3 tbsp Malaga wine or sweet Sherry
- 0.85 cup (200ml) whipping cream
Instructions
Make the Custard:
- Mix sugar, milk, and egg yolks in a saucepan.
- Cook using a double boiler, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Avoid boiling to prevent curdling.
- Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
Flavoring:
- Blend the crumbled turron with Malaga wine into a smooth paste.
- Mix this paste into the cooled custard until well combined.
Combine and Freeze:
- Whip the whipping cream to soft peaks and fold gently into the turron custard mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites to stiff peaks. Carefully fold these into the mixture, ensuring no white streaks remain.
- Freeze the mixture in your icebox, stirring every hour until fully set, or use an ice cream maker following the manufacturer’s instructions.
Notes
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting.
- Stir the custard mixture continuously for even cooking.
- Fold ingredients gently to maintain airiness.
- Check sweetness and adjust before freezing, as cold diminishes sweetness.
