Ingredients
- 40 g chopped walnuts
- 40 g ground walnuts
- 200 g heavy cream
- 300 ml milk
- 1 vanilla pod
- 5 tbsp sugar
- 5 egg yolks
- 50 ml Italian walnut liqueur
- 0.25 tsp cinnamon powder
- powdered sugar (for dusting)
- walnut liqueur (for drizzling)
- orange slice (for garnish)
Instructions
-
1.
Roast the walnut kernels without fat and set aside.
-
2.
Whisk milk and cream with the vanilla pod and scraped-out seeds, then bring to a boil.
-
3.
Beat egg yolks with sugar in a bowl until creamy. Stir the hot milk-cream mixture into the yolk custard, pour everything back into the pot, and whisk over low heat to thicken into a sauce without boiling.
-
4.
Strain the vanilla sauce through a sieve, let it cool while dusting the surface lightly with sugar to prevent skin formation.
-
5.
Stir in ground walnuts, liqueur, and cinnamon. Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker (or pour into a shallow metal bowl, freeze for about 3 hours, stirring vigorously every 30 minutes).
-
6.
Serve by placing scoops on chilled dessert plates, sprinkle with chopped nuts, drizzle with a little liqueur, and garnish each with half an orange slice.
