Best Apricot Balsamic Ice Cream Topping Recipes
CINNAMON APRICOT ICE CREAM TOPPING
Why buy ice cream topping when it is so quick and easy to make your own? I almost always have a spare 10 minutes and these ingredients on hand. This is suitable for children because bringing the mixture to the boil burns off the alcohol in the sherry.

APRICOT SAUCE
Steps:
- Combine 2 cups water, sugar and dried apricots in heavy medium saucepan. Bring mixture to boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until apricots are tender, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat.

Cover and refrigerate.)
BALSAMIC-GLAZED APRICOTS WITH RICOTTA CLOUDS
Steps:
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and cook until the foam subsides. Place the apricots cut side down in the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until apricots are slightly tender and warmed through, 5 to 6 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar and the honey. When apricots are ready, and add honey-balsamic mixture to the skillet. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, until the apricots have cooked through and the glaze is bubbling, uniformly coating the apricots. To serve, place a scoop of ricotta on each serving plate, top with 2 apricot halves and drizzle with the honey-balsamic glaze from the skillet.

Steps:
- Wash and pit the apricots, chop them coarsely and simmer in three tablespoons of water until tender. Puree in a food processor and set aside.
- Beat together the eggs, yolks and sugar until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is pale and lemon colored. (This can easily be done in a food processor.)
- Meanwhile, heat the cream and milk with the vanilla and coriander seeds. Remove from heat just before mixture reaches the boiling point.
- Pour mixture in a thin stream into the eggs and mix thoroughly. Pour into a double boiler and put over very hot water on a medium flame. (You can also use a thick saucepan placed on an iron trivet over a low flame.) Cook until thickened to the consistency of custard.
- Remove from heat and cool, whisking occasionally. Remove coriander bag. Strain mixture into a bowl and add the apricot puree. Chill thoroughly, then place the mixture in an ice cream maker and follow manufacturer's directions.
APRICOT TEMPURA WITH COCONUT ICE CREAM AND MAPLE-AND-CARAMEL RUM SAUCE
Steps:
- To make the sauce, caramelize the sugar by combining it with the water and stirring it carefully over a medium-high flame until the sugar starts melting. Whisk in three-quarters of a cup of the heavy cream and the butter. Add the maple syrup, the rum and the rest of the cream.
- Put the liquid over a bain marie to cool, whisking constantly until it smooths down and the color lightens. Refrigerate it until you are ready to use it. You might have to stir it over heat before serving to remove any crystallization.
- For the tempura, combine the flour, baking soda and salt with the water, whisking together. Pass the mixture through a sieve.
- Heat the peanut oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees.
- Halve each apricot and then cut each half into three slices. (If other fruit is used, cut into pieces of approximately the same size.)
- Dip each apricot slice in the tempura batter and deep-fry. Drain and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
- Serve five slices of apricot tempura on a plate, decorated with a pool of about three tablespoons of caramel sauce and two quenelles of ice cream or sherbet. Decorate with fresh mint.

The Origin of Apricot Balsamic
Balsamic vinegar has been around since the Middle Ages, and it was traditionally made in Modena, Italy. In recent years, balsamic vinegar has grown in popularity in the United States and has become a staple in many households. The combination of balsamic vinegar and apricot is a relatively new concept, but it has quickly become a favorite among foodies.Why Use Apricot Balsamic as an Ice Cream Topping?
Apricot balsamic has a unique flavor and aroma that is both sweet and tangy. When drizzled over ice cream, it creates a perfect balance of the two tastes. It adds an unexpected burst of flavor to an already delicious dessert. The acidic properties of balsamic vinegar help cut through the sweetness of the ice cream, making it less cloying.Apricot Balsamic Ice Cream Topping Recipes
