Presentation

An ice cream made with milk, cream. Sugar, eggs, ladyfingers and alchermes.

Ingredients

300 g of milk

165 g cream

80 g of sugar

3 egg yolks

6 ladyfingers

50 g of alchermes

50 g of water

Preparation

Separate the whites from the yolks and in a saucepan beat the egg yolks with the sugar until the mixture is frothy and light in color.

Meanwhile, heat the milk over low heat and before it reaches a boil, pour it slowly and stirring constantly on the egg and sugar mixture.

When you have mixed the mixture, bring it back to the heat (or rather to a bain-marie) for a few minutes, always stirring and making sure that the egg does not coagulate; if you have a food thermometer, cook the mixture for a few minutes always below 85 ° C.

Once the mixture has been removed from the heat, let it cool and when it is completely cooled, add the cream and pour the mixture into the ice cream maker.

While waiting for the ice cream to freeze in the ice cream maker, prepare a syrup for the ladyfingers with 50 ml of alchermes and 50 ml of water.

Coarsely chop the ladyfingers and wet them evenly with the alchermes:

When the ice cream is ready, stop the ice cream maker and pour the ladyfingers into the ice cream, gently mixing everything inside the ice cream maker.

When the ladyfingers are well distributed in the ice cream, serve with a drizzle of melted dark chocolate on top of the ice cream.
