Ah, truffle and sea salt ice cream… It's a true culinary gem. This unexpected marriage of the rich truffle flavor and the salty touch of sea salt will surprise your taste buds. It's a refined ice cream, for those who appreciate sophisticated flavors. And what's more, it's quite simple to make!
What you need:
- 150 ml of full liquid cream
- 250 ml of whole milk
- 1 small black truffle (or 2 tablespoons of truffle oil)
- 2 pinches of fleur de sel
Preparation :
1. Infuse the truffle aromas
Start by finely grating the truffle (if you're using fresh truffle). If you prefer truffle oil, you can set it aside for later. In a saucepan, combine the milk and cream, and add the truffle. Heat gently over medium heat. Let it infuse until the truffle aromas have fully permeated the mixture. Be careful not to let it boil!
2. Cool and prepare for freezing
Once the mixture is well homogeneous, let it cool to room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator for at least an hour to ensure it is thoroughly chilled.
3. Freezing
Pour the cooled mixture into your Ninja Creami container and place it in the freezer for 24 hours. The wait may seem long, but it's essential for a perfect texture.
4. Turn into ice
The next day, place the tub in the Ninja Creami and select the "Ice Cream" setting. If you find the texture too firm, add a teaspoon of milk and run the Re-spin cycle until you achieve a smooth, creamy texture.
5. Add the finishing touch
Once the ice cream is ready, lightly sprinkle fleur de sel on top. This 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. Enjoy
Serve immediately and let yourself 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 leave no one indifferent.
This recipe is an invitation to explore unconventional flavors, combining the smoothness of cream with the intensity of truffle and the sweetness of salt. A must-try if you want to impress your guests or simply treat yourself to an ice cream unlike any other.
