Tips
- It is better for stockpiling and quality control, whole hazelnuts* to buy. But if you want to make it easier for yourselves, you can chopped hazelnuts* buy. The best hazelnuts* are said to come from the Piedmont.
- At Hazelnut puree it is also recommended to pay attention to quality. It should be 100% from hazelnuts such as that of Rapunzel*. Also here there is the more expensive variant from Piedmont*. Whether the price is worth it, everyone must decide for themselves. If the Oil On top of the mush deposed simply stir until it is a uniform mass again.
- To Weighing Especially in the case of pastes, it is advisable to apply the corresponding ingredient to the Scale*, press the tare button and remove the ice cream spoon by spoon until the desired quantity is reached. This prevents you from suddenly having too much of an ingredient in your ice cream mixture. I do this procedure with all ingredients, but especially with viscous liquids such as mush or honey.
- Do you want to get a Ice cream sandwich from the hazelnut ice cream, just buy wafer sheets like the ones from Dovgan* (also available at Rewe) and orientate yourself on the Procedure from the Prince Pückler ice cream. In short: after preparing the ice cream, put it in a square mold lined with foil. Allow to freeze through, cut the wafer sheets and place slices of the ice cream mixture between two wafer sheets. Allow to freeze thoroughly again. If you like, you can dip the ice cream sandwich in chocolate and chopped hazelnuts.
- For protein I usually make either Cheese clouds or Amarettini.

Dear Ice Cream Maker,
if I want to make the great recipe with your ice cream base for milk ice cream, do I just leave out the eggs and sugar or is there more I need to consider?
Many greetings
Martin
Hello Martin,
unfortunately, the ice cream base is not a universal magic and this particular recipe by the mascarpone and the hazelnut puree is not the easiest to prepare with the ice cream base. However, if you make a pure milk ice cream with a flavor like vanilla, cinnamon, tonka bean or similar, then the milk base works well.
I have tried something for you and purely mathematically you would have to halve the amount of sugar and mascarpone here to get a balanced ice cream with the ice cream base. Try the following recipe: 250 g milk, 50 g mascarpone, 30 g sugar, 60 g hazelnut paste + 39 g ice cream base.
Kind regards
Hello,
I have 2 questions.
1. what happens to the egg white from the separated egg?
2. when is the 2nd half of the sugar added?
Did I miss that?
Many greetings
Sylvia
Hello Sylvia,
you can use the egg white from the separated egg elsewhere. I have linked two recipes that I like to make in the tips section.
You're absolutely right about the second half of the sugar, I forgot to mention it. It is heated together with the milk. I have added it.
Thank you very much for the tip!
This tastes really great
