Frequently asked questions

What gives the ice cream its caramel flavor?
The sugar (200 g) is browned in a pan to a caramel and thinned with 1/4 liter of brewed coffee. This caramel-coffee mixture is cooled completely before it is folded into the stiffly whipped cream.
How are the almonds handled?
180 g of almonds are blanched (the skins removed) and coarsely chopped, and added to the warm caramel with coffee before everything is cooled.
Why must the caramel mixture be cooled before it is combined with the cream?
Warm caramel would cause the stiffly whipped cream to collapse and melt. Cooling ensures that the ice cream retains air and volume during freezing.
How long does the recipe take?
About 4 hours in total, most of which is freezing time. The recipe is from Henriette Schønberg Erken's "Stor kokebok" (1914), p. 507, and yields about 8 servings.
