Ingredients

  • 130 ml of milk

  • 195 ml of full-fat liquid cream

  • ½ vanilla bean

  • 3 egg yolks

  • 10 g of sugar

  • 85 g of pink pralines

Directions

  • Vanilla infusion
    Heat the milk and cream in a saucepan. Split the vanilla pod in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with the tip of a knife. Add the seeds and the split pod to the saucepan. Remove from the heat as soon as it comes to a boil.
  • Add the pralines and let it rest
    Add the pink pralines to the saucepan. Let it sit for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally: the vanilla will infuse while some of the sugar from the pralines melts into the hot milk.
  • Bleaching the yolks
    Meanwhile, put the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl. Whisk vigorously until the mixture turns white.
  • Assembling and collecting the pralines
    Pour the contents of the saucepan into the bowl, straining it to remove the vanilla pod and pralines. The pralines should remain pink but have noticeably reduced in volume—if they are still too plump, leave them in the mixture for a few more minutes. Drain them well and place them in the freezer until you prepare the ice cream.
  • Cooking custard
    Return the contents of the bowl to the saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened — the mixture should coat the back of a spoon.
  • Freezing
    Pour the cooled mixture into your jar Ninja Creami or Ninja Swirl, seal tightly with the lid and place in the freezer for 24 heures, flat.
  • Transformation into ice
    Remove the jar from the freezer, place it in the outer bowl of your machine and start the program Ice Cream.
  • Re-Spin if necessary
    If the texture still seems a little grainy after the first cycle, make a well in the center, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of liquid cream, and start another cycle. Re-Spin.
  • Incorporation of the pralines
    Once the ice cream is firm, make a well in the center all the way to the bottom of the container, add the reserved crushed pink pralines, then start the program. Mix-In to distribute them evenly.

Notes

  • Careful filtering: Don't skip the filtering step in step 4 — it separates the liquid that becomes the base of the ice cream from the pralines that will be reincorporated whole at the end, to keep them crunchy.
