Brown Butter Ice Cream

Ice cream is one of those desserts that can either steal the show in its own right, or play second fiddle to the main event. This Brown Butter Ice Cream, with no apology, falls into the latter category.

It’s the perfect accompaniment to any number of desserts and puddings, bringing a subtle nutty, caramel creaminess to the party, without being overly dominating. And, on this occasion, it was the perfect partner to these Brown Butter Blondies, which I served warm, with caramel sauce drizzled over top and a sprinkling of crushed almond praline. Perfecto, if I do say so myself.

The recipe comes from Bon Appetit. While peanut brittle is added into the churned ice cream in the original recipe, I left it out as I already had left-over crushed almond praline on hand from my Almond Bavarois dessert. If, however, you like the sound of the peanut brittle addition, check out the recipe link above.

If you have a dessert or pudding that has nutty or caramel flavours, and want an ice cream to accompany it that enhances those flavours beautifully, you can’t go past this one. Enjoy!
