Ingredients:(for a glass mold of 1.5 liters)
- 7 egg yolks
- 100 g of sugar
- 20-25 g of cognac
- 300 g cream 30-35% fat content
- 80 g of milk chocolate
- 80 g pistachios for decoration
- additionally, you can use fresh berries inside-about 200 g.
Cooking method:
- In a glass or metal bowl, add sugar, egg yolks, brandy. Stir with a whisk and put in a water bath over medium heat and stir intensively.
- If you use a thermometer, we heat it up to 72 ℃. But very carefully, so that the yolks do not curdle. A lower temperature is also possible — it's okay. If there is no thermometer, bring the mixture to a hot state so that it becomes dense and the sugar completely dissolves. Do not forget to constantly stir intensively!
- Set the finished mixture aside to cool slightly, covering it with cling film.
- Separately, whisk the cooled cream at medium speed so that a not very dense foam turns out. By the way, for the best result, you need them to stand in the refrigerator for 24 hours. So they will be stable when whipping.
- Next, gently mix the whipped yolks with cold cream at room temperature with a whisk or a pastry spatula. Try it for a taste. Here is the time to add berries if desired.
- Cover the ice cream mold with a disposable film. Pour the mixture and send it to the freezer for 6-8 hours or overnight.
- After freezing, remove from the mold, pour over the melted chocolate and sprinkle with chopped pistachios. It is better to fry the nuts in advance. By the way, they can be added to the middle of the dessert, as well as chocolate.
