Ah, the truffle and sea salt ice cream… It’s a real culinary gem. This unexpected marriage between the depth of truffle and the salty touch of sea salt will surprise your taste buds. It's a refined ice cream, for those who like sophisticated flavors. And what’s more, it’s quite simple to prepare!
What you need:
- 150 ml of whole liquid cream
- 250 ml of whole milk
- 1 small black truffle (or 2 tablespoons of truffle oil)
- 2 pinch of fleur de sel
Preparation :
1. Infuse the aromas of the truffle
Start by finely grating the truffle (if you are using fresh truffle). If you prefer truffle oil, you can reserve it for later. In a saucepan, mix the milk and cream, and add the truffle. Heat gently over medium heat. Leave to infuse until the aromas of the truffle permeate the mixture. Be careful, don't let it boil!
2. Cool and prepare for freezing
Once the mixture is well combined, let it cool to room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator for at least an hour so that it is completely chilled.
3. Freezing
Pour the cooled mixture into your Ninja Creami pot, and put it in the freezer for 24 hours. The wait may seem long, but it is essential for a perfect texture.
4. Turn into ice
The next day, place the pot in the Ninja Creami and choose the “Ice” mode. If you find that the texture is too firm, add a teaspoon of milk and run the Re-spin cycle until you obtain a very smooth texture.
5. Add the finishing touches
Once the ice cream is ready, sprinkle lightly with fleur de sel on top. This is what will make all the difference by intensifying the flavors. If you're a big truffle fan, you can even add a drizzle of truffle oil for an even more sophisticated result.
6. Taste
Serve immediately and be surprised by this explosion of flavors! It's an ice cream for special occasions, a dessert as subtle as it is original, which will not leave anyone indifferent.
This recipe is an invitation to explore unconventional flavors, combining the creaminess of cream with the strength of truffle and the sweetness of salt. Absolutely worth trying if you want to impress your guests or just treat yourself to an ice cream like no other.
