Best Black Truffle Ice Cream Recipes

ICE CREAM TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Line 2 quarter-sheet pans with wax paper. Working quickly, portion out the ice cream using a 1 1/2-tablespoon scoop. Line up the scoops, 12 strawberry on one sheet pan and 12 pistachio on the other, and place in the freezer for at least 2 hours.
• Twenty minutes before you are ready to roll the truffles, add the chocolate and coconut oil to a bowl set over a pan of simmering water and allow it to melt and become smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix together.
• Place the pistachios and red jimmies in separate bowls.
• Remove the strawberry ice cream from the freezer. One at a time, drop the ice cream into the chocolate, then remove with a fork and place back on the sheet pan. Immediately sprinkle on the jimmies. Repeat with the remaining strawberry ice cream scoops and return to the freezer.
• Remove the pistachio ice cream and repeat the process above, immediately sprinkling the truffles with the pistachios. Return them to the freezer and allow to firm up, about 2 hours. Transfer to a freezer container and freeze for up to 1 month.

BLACK SESAME ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Combine the heavy cream, 3/4 cup milk, the black sesame paste and black sesame powder in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is steaming. Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 1/4 cup milk, the egg yolks, granulated sugar, brown sugar and salt in a medium bowl until smooth.
• Ladle half of the hot cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking, then pour this mixture into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture, whisking. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain through a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl. Let cool, stirring occasionally, then cover and refrigerate until very cold, at least 4 hours.
• Churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions until the consistency of soft serve. Transfer to a freezer-safe container, cover and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.
