Sorghum Ice Cream With Honey and Nuts
Sorghum ice cream with honey and nuts is a delightful and unique dessert that offers a creamy texture and a rich flavor, perfect for summer gatherings or a cozy night in.
This treat is ideal for those looking to explore new flavor profiles or include gluten-free alternatives into their diet. The preparation takes a bit of time, approximately 30 minutes of active cooking plus chilling time, but the end result is a rejuvenating and satisfying dessert that everyone will love.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup sorghum syrup
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mixed nuts (such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds), chopped
- Additional honey for drizzling (optional)
Cooking Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is warm but not boiling.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sorghum syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined and frothy.
- Gradually temper the egg mixture by slowly pouring in about a cup of the warm milk mixture while continuously whisking. This step prevents the eggs from curdling.
- Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk and cream. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes. Then, cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Once the mixture is chilled, churn it in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- During the last few minutes of churning, fold in the chopped nuts.
- Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
- Serve in bowls or cones, with an optional drizzle of honey on top.
Variations and Tips:
- For a chocolate twist, add 1/2 cup of cocoa powder to the milk and cream mixture in step 1.
- Experiment with different nuts or add dried fruits for added texture and flavor.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze, stirring it every 30 minutes until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Remember to let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping, as it will harden in the freezer.
