In the realm of British desserts, few creations evoke the same level of mouthwatering desire as the Sticky Toffee Pudding. A warm, rich, and utterly indulgent treat, it’s no wonder that this classic has inspired a frozen counterpart: the Sticky Toffee Pudding Pleasure ice cream. Join us as we embark on a delectable journey through this quintessentially British dessert and its delightful frozen incarnation.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup sticky toffee sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- 1 cup chopped sticky toffee pudding (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions:
1. Craft the Toffee Infusion:
- In a saucepan, gently warm the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is heated but not boiling.
- Add the sticky toffee sauce, infusing that rich, caramelized goodness into the creamy base. Stir until fully incorporated. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
2. Add the Flavorful Touches:
- Stir in the pure vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, elevating the depth of flavors.
- Toss in the chopped sticky toffee pudding pieces, allowing them to soak up the luscious toffee-infused cream.
3. Chill and Blend:
- Cover the mixture and refrigerate it for at least four hours or overnight. This chilling period melds the flavors and ensures a smooth, velvety texture.
- Once chilled, pour the custard into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. It should take around 20-30 minutes to achieve a luscious ice cream consistency.
4. Freeze to Perfection:
- Transfer the freshly churned Sticky Toffee Pudding Pleasure ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for a few hours, or until it reaches your desired firmness.
5. Serve and Savor:
- When it’s time to treat yourself, scoop out generous servings of this decadent delight into bowls or onto cones.
- Optionally, drizzle a bit of extra sticky toffee sauce on top for an added burst of toffee goodness.
