Espelette pepper and white chocolate ice cream is a daring combination that marries the sweetness of white chocolate with the subtle heat of Espelette pepper. This sweet and spicy blend creates an explosion of flavors in the mouth, ideal for lovers of original desserts. Here's how to prepare this surprising ice cream with your Ninja Creami.
What you need:
- 200g white chocolate
- 250 ml of whole milk
- 200 ml of whole liquid cream
- 60 g of sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of Espelette pepper (adjust to your taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 pinch of salt
Preparation :
1. Melt the white chocolate
In a saucepan, gently heat the milk and cream over medium heat. Add the chopped white chocolate and stir gently until completely melted. Be careful not to let it boil, or the chocolate will burn.
2. Add the sugar and Espelette pepper
Stir in the sugar and mix well until dissolved. Then, add the Espelette pepper. Start with half a teaspoon to test the heat level. You can add a little more if you like a stronger spice. A pinch of salt will help enhance the flavors.
3. Mix and let cool
Once everything is well mixed, remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. If you want to sweeten it a bit, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Then, put it in the refrigerator for an hour to chill thoroughly.
4. Freezing
Pour the mixture into your Ninja Creami jar and put it in the freezer for at least 24 hours so that it sets properly.
5. Blend in the Ninja Creami
Once the mixture is completely frozen, place the container in your Ninja Creami and select the "Ice Cream" setting. If the texture is too firm, add a tablespoon of milk and run another cycle until you achieve a creamy texture.
6. Tasting
Serve your Espelette pepper and white chocolate ice cream in bowls and, if you like, add a small pinch of extra chili pepper for the more adventurous. You can also garnish with a few white chocolate shavings for an extra touch of indulgence.
This ice cream is perfect for those who love contrasting and surprising flavors. The combination of smooth white chocolate and the warmth of Espelette pepper creates a dessert that is both comforting and daring. A true delight for those who love new sensations! 🍫🌶️
