Description

Perhaps even better than creamy vanilla ice cream would be crème brûlée or caramel, to your taste. The main thing is that the ice cream is simply of high quality.

Ingredients

Vanilla Ice Cream - 2 lbs
Unsalted peanuts, shelled - 8.8 oz
Fruit Jelly - 2.5 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Hazelnuts, which serve as the bottom layer, also known as the crust. Place the shelled hazelnuts in a round mold with a diameter of 15 cm, ensuring that the nuts completely cover the bottom.

Step 2

Ice cream, which serves as the base layer. Allow the ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes, then beat it with a spoon until it reaches a smooth soft-serve consistency. Spread the ice cream over the nuts, trying not to disturb or flip them. Smooth the surface of the ice cream with a spoon or a small spatula.

Step 3

Red currants, which serve as the layer. Lightly whip the red currant jelly with a regular spoon until it reaches a somewhat pliable but thick sauce consistency. Spoon the sauce in small drops (about a teaspoon each) over the ice cream and use the same spatula or a long wooden stick to swirl the sauce into a marble pattern, similar to a marble cheesecake. But don’t overdo it.
