How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s dive into the fun part—making this delightful dessert!

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are pale and slightly thickened.
3. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. This step is crucial to avoid scrambling the eggs!
4. Once combined, return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
5. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let it cool to room temperature.
6. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
7. Transfer the mixture to a container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
8. When ready to serve, scoop the ice cream into ramekins, sprinkle with brown sugar, and use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden and crispy. If you don’t have a torch, you can place the ramekins under a broiler for a few minutes—just keep a close eye on them!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your Crème Brûlée de Sorvete turns out perfectly:

• Make sure to whisk the egg yolks thoroughly to achieve a smooth custard.
• Don’t rush the cooling process; letting the mixture cool completely before churning is key to a creamy texture.
• If you’re short on time, you can skip the torching step and simply enjoy the ice cream as is!
• For a fun twist, try adding different flavorings like almond extract or a splash of coffee to the custard.

How to Serve

Serving your Crème Brûlée de Sorvete is just as fun as making it! Here are some ideas:

• Top with fresh berries for a pop of color and flavor.
• Pair it with a slice of rich chocolate cake for a decadent dessert experience.
• Serve alongside a light salad or one of your favorite weeknight dinner ideas for a balanced meal.
• Enjoy it with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful end to your meal.

Make Ahead and Storage

This dessert is perfect for making ahead! You can prepare the custard and churn it a day in advance. Just store it in the freezer until you’re ready to serve. Here are some storage tips:

• Keep the ice cream in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.
• For best results, consume within two weeks, but I doubt it will last that long!
• If you have leftovers, simply re-churn for a few minutes to restore its creamy texture before serving again.

So there you have it! My Crème Brûlée de Sorvete is not just a dessert; it’s an experience. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or enjoying a quiet night in, this frozen treat will surely impress.
