The softness of vanilla goes perfectly with the woody and slightly smoked taste of whiskey, offering a creamy dessert with a small warming touch. It is the ideal dessert for a cozy evening with friends or to finish a meal on a gourmet and surprising note.
Ingredients :
- 100 ml of whole cream (or vegetable cream if you want to avoid lactose)
- 200 ml of milk (or almond milk)
- 2 tablespoons of cane sugar (or maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (or a vanilla pod if you want even more flavor)
- 3 tablespoons of whiskey (adjust according to your tastes, but beware, it can quickly take over!)
Preparation :
- Mix the cream and milk :
in a bowl, mix the cream and milk. It will be the basis of your ice cream, so make sure everything is very homogeneous. For a lactose -free version, almond milk goes very well with vanilla and whiskey. - Add sugar and vanilla :
add cane sugar (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract. If you have a vanilla pod on hand, scratches the seeds and incorporate them into the mixture for an even more intense taste. Mix well until the sugar is completely dissolved. - Incorporate the whiskey :
this is where it becomes interesting! Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of whiskey, depending on your taste. Whiskey adds depth and heat to the ice, but be careful not to put too much otherwise it can become a little too "strong". Do not hesitate to taste to adjust. - Freezing :
Pour the preparation into the jar of your Ninja Creami and put it in the freezer for at least 24 hours. It gives you just enough time to wait (or taste a little whiskey in the meantime). - Transformation into ice :
After 24 hours, go out your freezer jar and use the "ice" mode of your Ninja Creami. You will obtain a creamy and creamy texture, with the subtle but present taste of whiskey which goes perfectly with the sweetness of vanilla.
Tips for serving:
- For an even more greedy touch : you can add bursts of dark chocolate or caramelized nuts on top. It will add crunch and an additional gluttony note.
- Perfect chords : this ice cream is incredible served with hot brownies , pancakes or even simply in a pretty verrine with some red fruits for a tangy note.
