September 26, 2007: Orange-Scented Cashew Ice

candied rinds told me to discard the saccharide syrup later I'd sweetened as well as softened upwards those orangish bits. Nuh-uh! That's sweet, fragrant saccharide H2O we've got there, why would I throw that out? The orangish flavor was quite frail as well as I was later something that would allow that to shine through. My demand heed turned to the subtle as well as summery vice cream that I tried dorsum inwards Jan - I've never teamed cashews as well as oranges before, but I idea it was worth a shot.

It was. With a fleck of extra oomph from a few drops of orangish essence, the 2 flavours shared the spotlight nicely. However, the texture only didn't run out for me this time. I tried soaking the cashews beforehand as well as they were looking pretty soft, but I estimate I only didn't give them long plenty inwards the nutrient processor. Once inwards the ice-cream maker, this mixture was looking super-thick later exclusively xv minutes (this typically takes 30-40 minutes alongside a criterion ice-cream recipe) hence I took it out. Perhaps a fleck of extra fourth dimension churning would stimulate got improved the texture, but I suspect it all goes dorsum to the processing phase.

So, this rendition of orange-scented cashew H2O ice was a fleck besides big on the ice. But teamed alongside the blueberries sitting inwards the freezer, I'm certain we'll hold upwards able to smooth off this slightly fruity number.

Orange-scented cashew ice

1 loving cup cashews
1 loving cup orange-infused saccharide syrup
1 loving cup water
a few drops of orangish essence

Soak the cashews inwards the saccharide syrup as well as H2O for at to the lowest degree an hr (or upwards to a day) inwards the fridge. Add the orangish marrow as well as blitz the mixture inwards the nutrient processor until the cashews are every bit liquified every bit possible. (It may aid to drain around of the liquid away as well as hence re-introduce it later the cashews are completely blended.) Return the mixture to the refrigerator until it's super-cold, hence churn it inwards an ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
