Milk Chocolate
Ice Cream with Reese Whoppers (Adapted
Ice Cream Recipe from The Perfect Scoop but it was my idea to add the Reese Whoppers;)-RRB- Ingredients 3/4 cup milk chocolate and 1/4 cup semi sweet chocolate, finely chopped — the original recipe called for 8 ounces
of milk chocolate 1 1/2 cups half and half 1 1/2 cups 2 % milk 3/4 cup sugar Big pinch
of salt 4
large egg yolks 2 teaspoons vanilla — the original recipe called for Cognac, but we don't have fancy things like that at my house 1/2 cup Reese Whoppers, roughly chopped Directions Combine the chocolate and cream in a
large, heatproof
bowl and set
over a saucepan
of simmering
water (I can't lie I just put it right in a saucepan
over medium heat and skipped the simmering
water).
1) Mix flour, butter and
icing sugar in a
bowl using two knives to cut the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs 2) Add in the egg yolks and vanilla extracts and mix well, then add
iced water until the dough starts to come together 3) Shape the dough into a ball on a cool, flat, floured surface 4) Flatten dough into a disc and then wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes 5) Meanwhile, peel, core and slice the apples into as thin slices as possible 6) Mix sugar and ground cinnamon powder with sliced apples and let it rest for a while 7) Pre-heat oven to 180 deg cel 8) Once dough has chilled, roll pastry dough on a sheet
of parchment paper until it has expanded to the size
of the tart mold (I used a rough mold the size
of a
large pizza) 9) Leaving at least an inch
of dough free, arrange apple slices by overlapping them slightly in the shape
of a circle, starting from the outermost part
of the circle, until you reach the inside 10) Fold the edges
of dough
over the filling and then sprinkle the dough with a bit
of sugar 11) Bake for about 40 - 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are soft 12) Serve warm, with a side
of whipped cream or
ice cream (optional)
