What you need:
- 200g of Camembert cheese (without the rind)
- 250 ml of full-fat liquid cream
- 150 ml of whole milk
- 50 g of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional for a sweet contrast)
- 80g of crushed walnuts
- A pinch of salt
Preparation :
- To prepare the Camembert : Remove the rind from the Camembert, leaving only the creamy center. Cut it into small pieces for easier mixing.
- Heat the base : In a saucepan, heat the milk and cream over low heat. Add the Camembert pieces and stir gently until they are completely melted into the mixture.
- Sweeten and season : Add the sugar and a pinch of salt. For a slightly sweeter version, you can also add a touch of vanilla extract for a subtle contrast. Mix well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Stir in the nuts : Chop the nuts and add them to the mixture. For extra crunch, you can lightly toast them in a pan before adding them. Reserve a few for the final garnish.
- Allow to cool : Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least an hour to ensure it is thoroughly chilled.
- Freezing : Pour the mixture into your Ninja Creami jar and let it freeze for 24 hours.
- Turning it into ice cream : Once the mixture is completely frozen, place the container in your Ninja Creami and select the "Ice Cream" mode. If the texture isn't creamy enough, add a spoonful of milk and restart the cycle.
- Decoration and serving : Serve your ice cream with a few chopped walnuts on top for a crunchy finishing touch. For the more adventurous, a drizzle of honey can add a touch of sweetness that contrasts nicely with the Camembert.
This surprising ice cream combines the creaminess of cheese, the subtle sweetness of sugar, and the crunch of nuts for an extraordinary dessert. A must-try for a unique taste experience!
