How to Make Valencian Almond Honey Nougat Ice Cream

1. Whip the Cream

Pour 2.5 cups of heavy cream into a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream until it begins to form stiff peaks. This process incorporates air into the cream, creating a light and airy texture that is essential for a good ice cream.

2. Add Sugar

As the cream thickens, gradually add 0.25 cups of superfine sugar and continue to beat until the mixture is fully whipped.

3. Add Turrón

Crumble 10 ounces of soft turrón from Jijona using a fork. Gently beat the crumbled turrón into the whipped cream until you achieve a homogeneous mixture.

4. Freeze the Mixture

Line a bowl with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap fully covers the interior and leaves some overhang. Pour the cream mixture into the prepared bowl, smoothing the surface. Cover the top with additional plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming. Place the bowl in the freezer for at least 6 hours or overnight.

5. Serve

Remove the top layer of plastic wrap. Turn the bowl upside down onto a serving plate and gently peel off the remaining plastic wrap. Your Valencian Almond Honey Nougat Ice Cream is now ready to be enjoyed.

Pitfalls and tips

Source Quality Ingredients

Choose Marcona almonds and a high-quality, floral variety of honey to greatly influence the final flavor of your ice cream.

Custard Base

Create a rich and creamy texture by making a custard-based ice cream and carefully tempering the eggs.

Churn to Perfection

Ensure the ice cream base is completely chilled before churning and churn until it reaches soft-serve texture.

Roast the Almonds

Lightly roast the almonds before adding them to your recipe to enhance the nutty flavor and add depth.

Freeze with Care

Prevent ice crystals by covering the ice cream surface with parchment paper before sealing it in an airtight container.
