Mocha Ice-Cream Sandwiches with Florentines Recipe
Makes 1 litre
Ingredients:
12 egg yolks
1 cup caster sugar
2 cups pouring cream
1¾ cups milk
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
¼ cup espresso
dark-chocolate store-bought
Florentines, to serve
Method:
Place egg yolks and half the caster sugar in a heatproof bowl; whisk for 3-4 minutes, or until pale and fluffy.
Place cream, milk, vanilla bean, and remaining sugar in a saucepan over high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Bring just to the boil, add espresso, and pour into egg mixture; whisk until combined.
Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and stir continuously for 6-8 minutes, or until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Strain mixture into another bowl and refrigerate until cool.
Place in the bowl of an ice-cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Serve mocha ice-cream sandwiched between two Florentines.
