Ingredients Almond and Dried Apricot Ice Cream Cake Recipe
The first step to making an Almond and Dried Apricot Ice Cream Cake is gathering your ingredients. So, the following ingredients are vital to making this recipe:
- 1 ¾ cup of L’Orenta’s Semi Dried Apricots
- Two quarts of vanilla ice cream (Divided)
- ¾ cup of honey
- One cup of L’Orenta’s Dried Roasted Sliced Almonds Unsalted
- Cookie crusts (Use Amaretti Cookies)
- Eight inches cheesecake pan (With removable sides)
Directions Almond and Dried Apricot Ice Cream Cake Recipe
Use the following simple steps to make your Almond and Dried Apricot Ice Cream Cake:
- Gently boil dried apricots with 1 ½ cups of water. Also, add ¾ cup of honey to the mix and cover the pan. Wait for 15 minutes until the apricots are tender. Then, remove one qt. Ice cream out of the refrigerator so it can soften.
- Spread out one cup of apricots over your cookie crust. Also, pour the remaining apricots and water into a blender. Then whirl until it becomes a thick puree. You can add more water if necessary.
- Stir your already softened vanilla ice cream until it becomes smooth. Then, gently spread the ice cream over the dried apricots in the cookie crust. Also, put them on a plate and place them in your freezer until firm. Spread two tablespoons of apricot puree and freeze until it becomes firm.
- After the remaining one qt., vanilla ice cream has become soft; spread it over the puree. Then, add little chunks of the remaining puree to the ice cream. Also, spin the mix using a chopstick and freeze for three hours more.
- Finally, gently remove the sides of the cheesecake pan. Then, tap almonds into the sides of the pie firmly. You can serve immensely.
With the highlighted steps, your Almond and Dried Apricot Ice Cream is ready for serving.
More Useful Pie Tips
- Allow the pie to soften at room temperature for five minutes. This will make slicing effortless.
- If you experience any difficulty removing your pie from the pan, put the pan in a bowl or jar of hot water for some minutes. Then, wedge a thin knife in the crust and the pan edge in the middle of the crust. The pie will pop out.
- If the pie is frozen fully, it can stay up to four days. Also, ensure you double wrap it in plastic wrap. Remember to add almonds to the top before serving.
