Baklava Ice Cream with Chopped Pistachios
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups of heavy cream
- 1 cup of whole milk
- 3/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup of chopped pistachios
- 1/2 cup of honey
- 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup of chopped almonds
- 1/4 cup of melted butter
- 1/2 package of phyllo dough, thawed
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 cup of whole milk, 3/4 cup of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled.
- While the ice cream base is chilling, prepare the baklava topping. In a bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of chopped pistachios, 1/2 cup of honey, 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts, 1/2 cup of chopped almonds, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lay out 1/2 package of thawed phyllo dough and brush each sheet with melted butter. Stack the sheets on top of each other. Sprinkle the nut mixture evenly over the top layer of phyllo dough. Using a sharp knife, cut the baklava into small squares or triangles.
- Bake the baklava in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
- Once the ice cream base is chilled and the baklava is cooled, pour the base into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. When the ice cream is almost finished churning, crumble the cooled baklava into the ice cream and continue churning until combined.
- Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container, cover, and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Serve the baklava ice cream with an extra sprinkle of chopped pistachios on top. Enjoy!
