go straight to the recipe

Start with the ice cream a tried and true recipe. We also like Grant Atchats Green Almong Jelly from his book Alinea.

Stay tuned in the next week for more recipes…such a brief seasonal window…if you have some freeze them until we have provided you with more choice.

And, if you’re looking to buy green almonds try your local Middle Eastern or Afghani grocer where green almonds are considered a delicacy.

for the
green almond
ice cream

makes 700g

2 vanilla beans, split and scraped, seeds only
250g green almonds, stalk brown end removed and roughly chopped
250g caster sugar
500g cream
6 egg yolks [61g eggs]

so easy

Weigh the vanilla, green almonds and sugar into the Thermomix and process, scraping down a couple of times until it is very fine.

Weigh the cream into the Thermo and on speed 1, 90°C for 20 minutes. In the meantime, whisk the yolks together. Add the yolks to the mix, cover the top of the Thermo with a dry folded towel and blitz on high for 30 seconds. Remove from the heat source and strain, pushing hard against the almonds, through a very fine sieve.

To serve
Very finely slice one inner green almond kernel per portion and since it is spring we used honeysuckle and violet petals….fragrant rose petals would also be good.

what does it
taste like

It’s very refreshing and although the amount of sugar is high it is not at all sweet; the sugar having been a good counter foil to the slight bitterness of the raw almond kernel.
