Homemade Peanut Praline Ice Cream Recipe

Ingredients (Serves 4)

Ice Cream Base:

• 1 litre milk
• 200 g roasted and crushed peanuts
• 200 g caster sugar
• 10 egg yolks

Praline:

• 200 g peanuts
• 200 g caster sugar
• 1 tablespoon water
• A few drops liquid vanilla

Preparation

Difficulty: 2

Ice Cream:

1. Bring the milk to a boil in a saucepan. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until pale and creamy.
2. Stir in the crushed peanuts. Gradually pour the hot milk into the mixture while whisking continuously.
3. Return to the saucepan and heat gently, stirring until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
4. Pour into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until set.

Praline:

1. Shell and roast the 200 g peanuts in the oven until golden (but not burnt).
2. Make a caramel by heating the caster sugar with the tablespoon of water. Once bubbling, add a few drops of liquid vanilla.
3. When it turns golden brown, add the peanuts and stir vigorously for 1 minute.
4. Pour onto an oiled baking sheet, spread out, and let cool completely. Break into pieces and crush.
5. Sprinkle the praline over scoops of ice cream served in cups.

Jayne's Tip: Elevate the presentation by serving in stemmed glasses, garnished at the base with a julienne of orange, lemon, or lime.
