Description

A classic ice cream in the Spanish summers, flavored with turrón, a typical Christmas confection


Ingredients

Units 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:

  1. Mix sugar, milk, and egg yolks in a saucepan.
  2. Cook using a double boiler, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Avoid boiling to prevent curdling.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.

Flavoring:

  1. Blend the crumbled turron with Malaga wine into a smooth paste.
  2. Mix this paste into the cooled custard until well combined.

Combine and Freeze:

  1. Whip the whipping cream to soft peaks and fold gently into the turron custard mixture.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites to stiff peaks. Carefully fold these into the mixture, ensuring no white streaks remain.
  3. 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.
