I thought I’d throw this picture up for my three daughters who all love apple pie ala mode… but then — I guess — who doesn’t? This is actually my favorite version of apple pie with a topping of glazed nuts ( easy to do yourself) plus sugar,butter, flour and some spices. I like to use Pine nuts and Pecans.
This ice cream is a bit unique in that its butterfat content is very high… which if you didn’t already know makes ice cream yummy… but also a bit challenging to make as it takes much longer to set up! Most French Vanilla Ice Cream recipes call for an extraordinary amount of egg yolks… and we like to make ours fairly traditional. We use vanilla beans, and some folks like to also add a splash of brandy … I couldn’t resist using a few teaspoons of Amarula…. purely for medicinal reasons.
So, Kristin & Karen… this awaits you next time you find your way here. 🙂
Love,
dad
