A wonderful Spanish Ice Cream

Two Turrón Ice Cream

This is a wonderful rich dessert based on the famous
Jijona and Alicante turrón candy, that dates back centuries to the time of the Moors.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup sugar
4 tbsp water
6 egg yolks
3 egg whites
1/2 lb (1 bar) soft (jijona) turrón "blando"
1/4 lb (1 bar) hard (alicante) turrón "duro"
2 tbsp sweet sherry wine such as Oloroso or Pedro Ximenez
1 cup cream

 

Preparation:

Crush the Alicante turrón into chunks.
Grease a 1/2 quart soufflé dish with butter. Place in the freezer.
Make a thin syrup with the water and sugar.
Beat the egg yolks in a blender with the sugar syrup.
Dissolve the Jijon turrón in the wine.
Whip the cream.
Beat the egg whites until stiff.

One after the other, gently stir the different mixtures together.
Sprinkle the souffleé dish with some of the Alicanate turrón.
Pour in the prepared mixture. Leave for a few hours in the freezer (preferably overnight).

Remove ice cream from the freezer and sprinkle with the rest of the turrón.
Slice squares of the ice cream and serve alone or with chocolate sauce.

Mocha Chai Latte

Hot spicy chai (tea) is boiled milk, spices and sugar. The most important spice in chai is cardamom (ground up or crushed) and after that you can take your pick from cinnamon, cloves, ginger and black pepper. Here is a way to elevate already delicious chai latte to chocoholic heaven. INGREDIENTS 2 tablespoons loose-leaf Asam tea 1 1/2 cups boiling water 1/2 cup whole milk or 1/4 cup unsweetened condensed milk 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 1 tablespoon cocoa Whipped cream (optional) Cocoa for dusting 1. Steep the tea in the water for about 5 minutes. Add the milk, spices, and cocoa and simmer over low heat about 2 or 3 minutes more. 2. Prewarm two mugs. Pour in your mocha chai, add a dollop of whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa, if you like, and enjoy. Serve immediately. Make Your Own Masala Chai Ingredients for 4-5 2 thin slices ginger rooot (or 1/4 tsp ginger powder) 2 cardamon pods, crushed 1 clove 1/2" of cinnamon sticks or 1/2 tsp powder 3 cups boiling water 2 cups full fat (whole) milk 2 tea bags (regular black tea) 4 tsp sugar (note: substitute Sucanat, a whole foods sugar substitute) To make chai, crush or grind cardamon pods, cloves, and broken cinnamon flute in a spice grinder. Put three cups of boiling water in a pan with one or two cups of full cream milk. Throw in tea bags, sugar, and the spices. When the chai has reboiled, causing the milk to produce froth, fish out the tea bags with a small sieve and let the spices steep for at least 2 minutes (preferably half an hour). Reheat the chai if necessary and strain. Chai-wallahs in India pour the chai raoidly back and forth between two pans to improve texture. Always serve chai in glasses or small clay tumblers, never in cups. Technorati Tags : chai, masala, latte, mocha
