directions

  • Cook 1 ½ cups of the sugar with ¼ cup of water over moderate heat until sugar is dissolved, and bring syrup to a boil.
  • Boil syrup, undisturbed, until it is pale golden, and cook it, swirling the pan gently, until it is pale amber in colour.
  • Stir in hazelnuts and almonds and return syrup to boil.
  • Pour onto an oiled marble slab and let cool completely.
  • Break into pieces and pulverize in a blender or food processor.
  • Beat together egg yolks with remaining ½ cup sugar until mixture is thick and pale.
  • In a saucepan, combine cream, milk and vanilla extract and scald.
  • Add milk to yolks in a thin stream, whisking constantly so yolks don’t curdle.
  • Transfer custard to a saucepan and cook over moderately-low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture coats the back of a spoon, but do not let it boil.
  • Strain custard through a fine sieve into a metal bowl set in a larger bowl of ice and cold water and let it cool, stirring occasionally.
  • Place plastic wrap directly on surface of custard and chill for 2 hours.
  • Stir in the praline and freeze in ice cream maker according to manufacturer’s instructions.

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
