Serves: 8 Prep Time: 20M Cooking Time: 1H 1H Nutrition facts: 200 calories 20 grams fat

Ingredients

4 egg yolks
4 tablespoons sugar
3,5 dl cream for whipping
2 dl coffee
Vanilla seeds
Cocoa nibs
Chocolate chunks

Instructions

Make about 1 cup of coffee. Pour the coffee into a saucepan along with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Boil the mixture down to about half and set it aside to cool.
To make the ice cream, start by making the ice cream base. Whip together 4 egg yolks and 2 tablespoons of sugar over a double boiler. This is to dissolve the sugar and get a smooth mixture.
Take the mixture off the double boiler and continue to whip until you get a thick egg mixture. This is to ensure that the ice cream is creamy and fluffy.
Whip the cream until it thickens.
Add some vanilla to the base. You can use either vanilla bean or vanilla powder.
When the base is ready, add the cocoa nibs, coffee syrup, and finely chopped chocolate pieces (I prefer 70%). If you have an ice cream machine with a cooling function, pour the base into it and let it chill the ice cream. If you have to use the freezer, it will take longer (about 4 hours). It's then important that you stir the ice cream about every hour."

Chocolate coffee ice cream: Health benefits?

Store-bought ice cream is often packed with various additives. These can include stabilizers, emulsifiers, preservatives, and artificial flavors. The purpose of these additives is to extend shelf life, improve texture and taste, and reduce production costs. In Norway we have a lively debate about this.

I choose to believe that ingredients that are as close to their origin as possible are the best for health, and I find it unfortunate that ice cream manufacturers choose to use ingredients that we know very little about what they do to our health and gut flora.

Serves: 8 Prep Time: 20M Cooking Time: 1H 1H Nutrition facts: 200 calories 20 grams fat

Ingredients

4 egg yolks
4 tablespoons of sugar
3,5 dl cream for whipping
400 grams of strawberries
Vanilla seeds

Instructions

Combine 4 egg yolks, 1 teaspoon of vanilla powder, and 4 tablespoons of sugar in a bowl. Heat a pot of water that approximately matches the size of your bowl and place the bowl on top. This is only to help dissolve the sugar. While continuously whisking the mixture, let it heat up until you can see and feel that the sugar has dissolved. Afterwards, remove the mixture from the bain-marie and continue to whisk until you get a thick custard. Then, whip cream until stiff peaks form (I use a kitchen machine), and gently fold the custard and whipped cream together with a spatula. Remove the stalks and leaves from the strawberries and mash them with a fork or use a hand blender until you get a strawberry puree. Set aside some of the strawberries for serving later. Fold the strawberry puree into the custard and whipped cream. Then pour the mixture into an ice cream maker (which also cools down the ice cream) and let it do the job for about 1 hour. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can put the ice cream in a bowl in the freezer. Stir the ice cream mixture every hour until you achieve a firm consistency. Serve in a cone or bowl and top with fresh strawberries.

Mango coconut frozen yoghurt

by tage81 6. July 2023

Are you looking for a refreshing, tropical dessert that will make your taste buds dance? Then this mango coconut frozen yoghurt recipe is just what you need. This ice cream is the perfect balance of creamy, fruity, and slightly exotic, making it the perfect to any meal – or as a cooling snack at any time of the day!

In this recipe, I used Pakistani alfonso mangoes. The alfonso mango is often called the ‘king of mangoes,’ known for its rich, sweet flavor and deep orange color. When blended with the slightly sweet, nutty flavor of coconut, you achieve a taste combination that is as unforgettable as it is delicious. And because this recipe contains yogurt instead of cream, this ice cream is lighter and has a slightly tangy twist that really makes the tropical flavors shine through.

This recipe is also incredibly easy to make. Even if you’ve never made ice cream before, you’ll find that the process is straightforward. And when you take your first bite of this heavenly yogurt ice cream, you’ll be glad you decided to try something new.

Serves: 8 Prep Time: 20M Cooking Time: 20M 20M Nutrition facts: 200 calories 20 grams fat

Ingredients

2 alfonso mangoes (or regular, ripe mangoes)
2 eggs
2-4 tablespoons sugar.
1 dl greek yoghurt (10% fat or more)
2 dl cocnut cream
1 lime (the juice)

Instructions

Cut the mangoes in half by running a sharp knife through the middle, you'll feel where the edges of the stone are. Then use a small knife to make crosswise and lengthwise cuts in the mango flesh. This will make it easier to cut out the flesh later. Use the small knife to cut the cubes from the mango into a measuring cup or similar. If you have a hand blender, puree the mango, or mash with a fork. Mix together 2 egg yolks and 2-4 tablespoons of sugar in a bowl. Boil a pot of water that fits the size of the bowl approximately, and set the bowl on top. This is only to help dissolve the sugar. While continuously whisking the mixture, let it warm up until you feel and see that the sugar has dissolved. Afterwards, take the mixture off the water bath and continue to whisk until you get a thick egg cream. Use coconut cream (a type with natural coconut fat). Be sure to shake the can well so that the coconut fat and coconut milk mix well. Then mix the mango puree, egg cream, and coconut cream together with the juice of one lime. If you have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into it and let it run for about 1 hour. If you do not have an ice cream maker, let the bowl stand in the freezer for about 1 hour, before taking it out and mixing it together. You should take out the mixture a few times during the freezing process before serving the ice cream. Bon appetit!"
