Roquefort and walnut ice cream is a bold creation, perfect for cheese lovers and for an unusual appetizer! The intense, slightly salty taste of Roquefort pairs perfectly with the crunch and natural sweetness of the walnuts. This ice cream is ideal for surprising guests and goes very well with figs, apples, or toast.
Ingredients :
- 250g of Roquefort cheese
- 50 ml of whole liquid cream
- 100 ml of whole milk
- A pinch of salt
- pepper
- 50g of crushed walnuts (to be added using the Extra function to maintain crunch)
Preparation :
- Prepare the Roquefort base.
In a bowl, combine the crumbled Roquefort cheese, cream, and milk. Whisk well until smooth. The agave syrup softens the intense flavor of the Roquefort, allowing its unique taste to fully shine through. - Pour into the Ninja Creami container.
Transfer the mixture into the Ninja Creami container, being careful not to exceed the MAX FILL . Place the container in the freezer for 24 hours to allow the ice cream to set completely. - Churn using the Ice Cream program.
The next day, insert the container into the Ninja Creami and start the "Ice Cream" . In just a few minutes, you'll get smooth ice cream with an intense Roquefort flavor. - Add the nuts using the Extra function.
To add a crunchy texture, use the Mix-In to incorporate the nuts into the ice cream. They will remain well dispersed, adding that little crunchy touch to every bite. - Respin Tip:
If the texture is too firm, use the Respin to achieve an even creamier consistency. You can add a splash of milk (about 30 ml) to adjust the texture if needed.
My Personal Tip:
Try this ice cream with slices of toast or even with fruit like pears or figs. For a touch of originality, you can add a drizzle of honey or a few drops of balsamic vinegar on top just before serving. It's a perfect balance of sweet, salty, creamy, and crunchy that will surprise and delight your guests!
There you go, your Roquefort and walnut ice cream is ready! It's a unique and flavorful combination, perfect for appetizers or to accompany salads. Enjoy!
