Vanilla almond ice cream is a classic revisited that marries the sweetness of vanilla with the crunch of grilled almonds. Simple but so good, this is the kind of dessert that you can taste without ever getting bored. Vanilla brings this comforting roundness, while the toasted almonds add a perfect texture. With the Ninja Creami, you will have an ultra-cuméuse ice cream every time.
Ingredients :
- 200 ml of whole milk (or almond milk for an even more fragrant version)
- 100 ml of liquid cream
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup (or adjust to taste)
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract (or the seeds of a vanilla pod for a more intense taste)
- 50 g grilled and coarsely chopped almonds (or more if you want a maximum of crunch)
- A pinch of salt (optional, but it always enhances flavors)
Preparation :
- Prepare the vanilla base
in a bowl, mix the whole milk, cream, agave syrup and vanilla extract. If you have a vanilla pod on hand, scratch the seeds to add them to the preparation, it gives a so much richer taste. Whips well to obtain a homogeneous mixture. Just the smell of vanilla at this stage, it is already a promise of gluttony! - Pour into the Ninja Creami container
pours the preparation into the Ninja Creami container, taking care not to exceed the Max Fill . Then place it in the freezer for 24 hours . Yes, I know, the wait is long, but it is well worth it to obtain a perfect ice. - Turbine with the Ice Cream program
the next day, inserts the container in the Ninja Creami and launches the "Ice Cream" . In a few minutes, you will have a smooth vanilla ice cream base, ready for the next step. - Add the chips of almonds with the extra mode
for this crunchy touch, adds the toasted and chopped almonds and uses the "mix-in" . This allows you to incorporate the chips of almonds without grinding them, so you will have very crunchy pieces in each bite. This contrast between the sweetness of vanilla and the crunchy almonds is just perfect! - Tip Respin
If the texture is a little too firm after the first cycle, does not hesitate to use the Respin . If necessary, add a little milk (about 30 ml) to adjust the consistency and obtain an even more creamy ice.
My Personal Tip:
To make this ice cream even more greedy, I advise you to sprinkle a few flakes of grilled almonds on the top when serving, or even add a drizzle of honey. It's simple, but it completely transforms this dessert into a pure moment of pleasure. If you want to add a more daring touch, some orange zest combine with vanilla and almonds, for an even fresher twist!
And there you go, your vanilla almond ice cream is ready to be tasted! Between the creamy sweetness of vanilla and the crunchy grilled almonds, it is a dessert as simple as it is delicious. With the Ninja Creami, the texture is just perfect each time, and you will love the contrast between the fondant of the ice and the almond pieces. A real treat to savor without moderation!
