The sake, this famous Japanese rice alcohol, is much more than a simple accompaniment for sushi! With his subtle notes, sometimes floral, sometimes fruity, he associates himself wonderfully well with homemade ice cream to create refined and light desserts. If you are a lover of delicate taste experiences and you like to test new agreements, the sake and ice duo will please you!
With the Ninja Creami, you can get smooth textures that bring out the subtlety of the sake. Here are two associations that will surprise your taste buds, keeping a perfect balance between sweetness and freshness.
1. Yuzu and Saké ice cream: the fresh and tart alliance
The Yuzu, this Japanese citrus with lemon and tangerine aromas, is an ideal choice to agree with the sake. Together, the yuzu and the sake form an ultra-fresh and slightly tangy duo, perfect for a light meal.
- Tip : Prepare a yuzu ice cream with the Ninja Creami using yuzu juice (which can be found in Asian grocery) mixed with a light base. Once your scoop of ice cream is ready, pour a small shot of sake over it, which will add depth without hiding the freshness of the yuzu.
- Gourmet suggestion : garnish with a lemon or orange zest to add a lively and colorful note. A touch of mint can also bring a nice touch of visual and taste freshness.
This dessert is a real trip to Japan! The gentle acidity of the yuzu and the subtle notes of the sake complement are perfectly, creating a dessert as exotic as refined.
2. Coconut milk and sake milk: softness and subtlety
For an association reminiscent of the flavors of Asia very gently, coconut milk ice cream and sake are a winning combo. The creamy wealth of coconut milk is perfectly balanced with the lightness and floral notes of the sake, for a soothing and comforting dessert.
- Tip : Prepare a coconut milk ice cream in the Creami ninja using a coconut milk base for a creamy and velvety texture. When serving, add a sake net to raise the softness of the ice without crushing it.
- Gourmet suggestion : add a few pieces of fresh mango or grilled coconut shavings for an even more gourmet texture and taste.
This Coco-Saké association is a real delight! The round and exotic taste of coconut milk goes perfectly with the sake, creating a dessert that is both soft and elegant, perfect for those looking for an original touch without moving too far from the classic flavors.
