Raspberry Ice Cream “Tart”

Some say “never try to reinvent the wheel,” but when it comes to food, I believe there is always room for re-imagination! Since it’s #IceCreamWeek, I am challenging myself with the task of taking a classic dessert—a raspberry tart—and re-vamping it into a tantalizing ice cream dish that has all the traditional flavors of a tart, but in the form of a rich and creamy ice cream dessert!  Hope you enjoy my twist on a classic!

Add 4 tbsp of butter to a small sauce pan on medium to high heat.

Simmer until the butter begins to caramelize and brown.

Add 1/4 cup of sliced almonds to the pan.  

Cook until they begin to brown.

Once the almonds are toasted, whisk in 2 cups of heavy cream…

…1 cup of whole milk…

…1 tbsp vanilla extract…

…and 1/2 cup sugar.  

Whisk ingredients until thoroughly combined…

…and bring to a simmer.

In a separate bowl add two egg yolks. 

Temper the egg yolks with the hot cream.

 Whisking all the while.

Whisk the tempered eggs back into the sauce pan and bring the cream back to a light simmer, then remove from the heat. 

Strain ice cream base, removing the almonds.  

The flavor has already been infused into the cream.

Give the mixture a good whisk.

Cool cream to approximately 34-40°F. Cover in plastic and refrigerate to continue cooling.

Once cooled, add the ice cream base to your handy dandy ice cream machine…

…and wait for it to do its magic.

When it’s done, remove excess ice cream from mixer blade…

…add a sprinkle of salt…

…give it a good mix, and put it into the freezer to set up. About an hour or 2 should be good.

Remove from freezer and add 2 scoops to a standard ramekin.  

Gently press the ice cream into the dish, forming a crust-like shape, and place back in the freezer to solidify for several minutes.

Once firm, remove ice cream dish from the freezer. Top with 1 cup of pie, tart, or cookie crumbles…

…fresh raspberries…

…a sprinkle of powder sugar…

…and this dish is ready to ENJOY!
