Almond Ice Cream is a traditional British recipe for a classic dessert of an ice cream made from a milk and cream custard sweetened with sugar that incorporates ground almonds and which is churned in an ice cream maker. The full recipe is presented here and I hope you enjoy this classic British version of: Almond Ice Cream.
Place the almonds in a coffee grinder or food processor and render to a fine powder. Add to a saucepan along with the milk and cream. Heat gently and bring just to a boil then remove from the heat and set aside to cool completely.
Cream together the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl until pale and creamy. Add the cooled almond mixture and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon to combine. Return the resultant mixture to the pan then stir over medium heat until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, but do not boil.
Strain the custard into a clean bowl, allow to cool to room temperature then pour the mixture into the bowl of an ice cream machine and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
