Hot and Cold Desserts

The new class that I am in is called Hot and Cold Desserts. We are mainly making ice cream in this class and it is delicious. The other day my group made an ice cream called Full of Cropper. It is an espresso ice cream with brownie pieces and salted pecans. This is the recipe below:

“Full of Cropper”

4 lbs                Cream

4 lbs                Milk

2 lbs 4 oz         Sugar

2 lbs                Yolks

2(ea.)              Vanilla Bean

12 oz               Espresso Beans

Anglaise method: Heat cream and milk and vanilla beans, then take off the burner and poor into the yolks and sugar, whisk. Once everything is incorporated put back on the heat for a few minutes.

After making base and while still hot, place espresso beans in base and let steep for 10 minutes. Strain and then age for a few hours.

After churning add in brownie pieces and salted pecans. Swirl in caramel sauce.
