If you're a fan of deep and captivating flavors, tonka bean and dark chocolate ice cream is a real gem! Tonka bean, with its notes of almond, vanilla, and caramel, pairs perfectly with the intensity of dark chocolate. This recipe will transport you with its rich and indulgent aromas, and as always, we'll be using the Ninja Creami to make it easy!
What you need:
- 200 ml of whole milk
- 100 ml of full liquid cream
- 200g of dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- 1 tonka bean (finely grated)
- 60 g of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Preparation :
- To melt the chocolate : In a saucepan, heat the milk and cream over low heat. Once the mixture is hot (but not boiling), add the chopped dark chocolate. Stir gently until the chocolate is completely melted and you have a smooth chocolate cream.
- Add the tonka bean : Finely grate the tonka bean directly into the hot mixture. Be careful not to add too much, as tonka beans have a very strong flavor. Half a bean is often enough to subtly but persistently flavor your ice cream. Also add the sugar and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine everything.
- Let it cool : Pour your chocolate and flavored mixture into a bowl and let it cool to room temperature. Once cool, place it in the refrigerator for at least an hour to chill thoroughly.
- Freezing : Transfer your mixture into the Ninja Creami container and place it in the freezer for 24 hours. Be patient, it will be ready soon!
- Turning it into ice cream : After freezing, place the tub in your Ninja Creami and select the "Ice Cream" mode. If the texture isn't creamy enough for your liking, you can add a tablespoon of milk and restart the cycle for an even creamier consistency.
- Enjoy ! Your tonka bean and dark chocolate ice cream is ready to be savored. The complex notes of the tonka bean will enhance the intense flavor of the dark chocolate. A true treat for lovers of indulgent and sophisticated desserts! You can also add dark chocolate shavings or a sprinkle of cocoa powder on top for a finishing touch.
This ice cream is full of character, perfect for impressing your guests or simply treating yourself. It's your turn! 🍫
