What you need:
- 200 ml of whole liquid cream
- 150 ml of whole milk
- 80 g of sugar
- 4 to 5 organic clementines (zest + juice)
- 100 g candied clementines (you can buy them or make them yourself)
- A few meringues (about 4 to 5 small meringues)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Preparation :
- Prepare the ice cream base : In a saucepan, heat the milk and cream over low heat. Add the sugar and stir well until completely dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Add the clementines : Zest two clementines and squeeze them to obtain approximately 80 ml of juice. Add the zest and juice to the saucepan with the milk-cream mixture. Stir well to infuse everything with those lovely citrus flavors. Also adds vanilla extract for a smoother taste.
- Let it cool : Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator for about an hour so that it is nice and cold before freezing.
- Freezing : Once the mixture is cold, pour it into the pot of your Ninja Creami and put it in the freezer for 24 hours.
- Prepare the candied clementines and meringues : Meanwhile, cut the candied clementines into small pieces. Also break the meringues into large pieces. You can keep them aside to add them just before serving or incorporate them into the ice cream.
- Finalize the ice cream : Once the base of the ice cream is well frozen, place the pot in the Ninja Creami and choose the “Ice cream” mode. Once the ice cream is ready, add the pieces of candied clementines and the meringue pieces. Use the “Mix-ins” mode to incorporate them well without crushing them.
- Tasting : Your ice cream with candied clementine and meringue pieces is ready to be served! The sweetness of the meringues combines wonderfully with the light acidity of the candied clementines, creating a texture that is both creamy and crunchy. For presentation, you can add a few extra pieces of meringue and clementine zest on top.
This is an ice cream full of pep and sweetness, perfect for a touch of freshness in the middle of winter. Enjoy your food ! 🍊
