- 1 can (14 ounces/395 grams) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup white chocolate, melted
- 1/2 cup roasted almonds, chopped
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare almonds by roasting them in a 350F (175C) oven for 8-10 minutes until golden and aromatic, releasing their rich nutty essence.
- Allow roasted almonds to cool completely, then meticulously chop into delicate, crunchy fragments.
- Create a smooth white chocolate base by gently melting in microwave, stirring every 15 seconds until completely liquid and glossy.
- Whip heavy cream to soft, billowy peaks using a hand mixer, creating a light and airy foundation.
- Incorporate sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a subtle salt pinch into the whipped cream, blending gently to maintain volume.
- Drizzle melted white chocolate into the cream mixture, folding carefully to create a marbled, creamy texture.
- Fold most of the chopped roasted almonds into the ice cream base, distributing them evenly for consistent crunch.
- Transfer the luxurious mixture into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container, ensuring smooth surface.
- Garnish the top with remaining almond pieces for visual appeal and extra texture.
- Freeze for 6-8 hours or overnight until the ice cream sets into a creamy, scoopable consistency.
- Serve chilled, revealing a decadent dessert with layers of roasted almond and white chocolate flavors.
Notes
- Roast almonds carefully to enhance their nutty flavor without burning, watching closely during the last few minutes of toasting.
- Allow melted white chocolate to cool slightly before adding to prevent curdling or deflating the whipped cream.
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better incorporation of white chocolate into the ice cream base.
- Fold ingredients gently to maintain the light, airy texture of the whipped cream, preserving the ice cream’s creamy consistency.
