Almond Linzertorte Ice Cream
- 1 (7 ounce) package almond paste
- 23 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 12 teaspoon almond extract
- 14 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups half-and-half
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Combine the almond paste and sugar in a medium bowl and beat with an electric mixer until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Beat in the almond extract and salt.
- Bring the half-and-half to a simmer in a heavy medium saucepan.
- Slowly beat the hot half-and-half into the almond paste mixture.
- Pour the entire mixture back into the pan and place over low heat.
- Stir constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon until the custard thickens slightly.
- Be careful not to let the mixture boil or the eggs will scramble.
- Remove from the heat and pour the hot almond custard through a strainer into a large, clean bowl.
- Allow the custard to cool slightly, then stir in the heavy cream.
- Cover and refrigerate until cold or overnight.
- Stir the chilled custard, then freeze in 1 or 2 batches in your ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- When finished, the ice cream will be soft.
- Stir 2 tablespoons water into 1/2 cup raspberry jam to loosen it up.
- Swirl the jam plus 2 tablespoons chopped toasted almonds into the finished ice cream.
- Take care not to overswirl or the jam will "melt" into the ice cream.
- Streaks of jam should be visible.
- Serve immediately or freeze until firm.
