Frozen Hazelnut Vanilla Cream Recipes

ROASTED HAZELNUT VANILLA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Heat oven to 300 degrees. Spread hazelnuts on a rimmed baking pan and roast, stirring once or twice, until fragrant and lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack.
• Split vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape seeds into a saucepan. Add vanilla pod, milk, cream, 1/4 cup sugar and the salt. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, rub still-warm hazelnuts in a clean dish towel to remove skins. Take saucepan off heat and allow cream to cool while you prepare hazelnut paste.
• In a food processor, place 1/2 cup hazelnuts, remaining 1/4 cup sugar and the Cognac or rum and purée until a paste forms, 3 to 5 minutes. Scrape paste into saucepan holding milk mixture and return it to medium-low heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally until paste dissolves, 5 to 7 minutes. Discard vanilla pod and stir in vanilla extract. Transfer to a bowl and place in refrigerator or set into an ice bath to chill. Coarsely chop remaining hazelnuts.
• When mixture is cold, pour it into bowl of an ice cream machine along with 1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts and churn according to manufacturer's directions. Transfer to a container and freeze until solid, at least 2 hours. Let sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before serving, or in refrigerator for 15 to 30. Sprinkle with remaining hazelnuts.

FROZEN HAZELNUT-TANGERINE TIRAMISU

Steps:

• For Praline:
• Lightly oil baking sheet. Stir sugar and water in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil without stirring until syrup turns deep amber, brushing down sides of pan with pastry brush dipped into water and swirling pan occasionally. Mix in nuts. Pour onto prepared sheet; cool. Coarsely chop praline.
• For Filling:
• Boil tangerine juice in heavy large saucepan until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 12 minutes. Set aside. Whisk 1 cup sugar and yolks in large metal bowl. Whisk in 1 cup water. Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water and whisk constantly until candy thermometer registers 180°F., about 5 minutes. Remove from over water. Using electric mixer, beat mixture until cool, about 5 minutes. Mix in tangerine juice, cream and peel. Add mascarpone and 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier and beat until smooth. Fold in 1 cup praline (reserve remaining praline for another use). Chill filling while preparing biscuits.
• Line 9-inch-diameter springform pan with 2 3/4-inch-high sides with plastic wrap. Stir remaining 10 tablespoons sugar, 10 tablespoons water and espresso powder in heavy small saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves. Mix in 5 tablespoons Grand Marnier. Cool syrup.
• Using sharp knife, trim 1 biscuit to 3-inch length. Soak biscuit in syrup 10 seconds per side. Place rounded end up and sugared side against side of prepared pan. Repeat with as many biscuits as necessary to cover sides of pan. Soak more biscuits in syrup and place on bottom of pan, covering completely. Pour half of filling into pan. Soak more biscuits in syrup 10 seconds per side; place atop filling, covering completely. Spoon remaining filling over. Freeze overnight.
• Release pan sides from cake. Fold down plastic. Sift cocoa over dessert. Garnish with tangerine slices, if desired.

HAZELNUT CREAM FILLING

Steps:

• Put cream into mixing bowl and mix on high until soft peaks form, about 4 minute Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Whisk egg whites and sugar in a bowl while in a pan of boiling water and temp reaches 160 deg(this helps the sugar fully dissolve).
• Attach bowl to mixer with the whisk attachment; beat on high speed until slightly cooled and stiff peaks form (but not dry), about 5 minutes.
• Switch from whisk attachment to paddle attachment. Set on medium and add butter, several pieces at a time, mixing well after each addition (meringue will deflate slightly as butter is added). Add vanilla, hazelnut cream (you can add 1 tsp hazelnut syrup **not extract** to the "1/3 cup heavy cream", if you cannot find hazelnut cream), salt; mix until mixture comes together.
• Fold in the whipped cream that has been put aside in the fridge.
• Fill your favourite pastry.
• This saves well, refrigerated, but will firm up. Best to let it come to room temperature when using later.
• Time includes the time it takes for whipped cream to set up in the fridge.

NO-CHURN HAZELNUT ESPRESSO ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Using an electric whisk, beat the cream, salt, and vanilla together in a large bowl until the mixture resembles plain yogurt.
• Rub the toasted hazelnuts together in a clean tea towel to remove as much of their skins as possible. Discard the papery skins and roughly chop the nuts. Set aside a tablespoon or so to sprinkle over the top, then add most of the nuts, the condensed milk, and cooled coffee to the cream mix and beat together until it thickens to the consistency of yogurt.
• Pour the mixture into a 900 g (2 lb.) loaf pan, sprinkle over the reserved hazelnuts, and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the freezer for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
• Remove the ice cream from the freezer 5 minutes before serving. The ice cream will keep, covered in the freezer, for three months.
