White Chocolate Pretzel Knickerbocker Glory Recipe Set.
|
2 Crunchy Sourdough Pretzels, crushed |
|
|
White Chocolate Cream |
|
| 1 cup white chocolate chips
4 ounces cream cheese, softened and cut into pieces 3 to 4 tablespoons heavy cream |
In a double boiler, add the chocolate chips and cream cheese, stirring until both ingredients are melted.
The mixture will be very thick, so add the cream cheese while stirring to get a thinner consistency. Remove the chocolate cream from the double boiler and cool. |
|
Raspberry Coulis |
|
| 1 (12-ounce) package frozen raspberries, thawed
¼ cup sugar 1 teaspoon lemon juice
|
Place all of the ingredients in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Reduce the heat to medium. Let the berries simmer until the fruit is broken down, about 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice.
Taste and adjust the sugar if necessary.

White Chocolate Ice Cream |
|
| 4 egg yolks
¼ cup sugar 1 ¼ cups whole milk 1 ¼ cups heavy cream 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 (12-ounce) package white chocolate chips |
Place the yolks and sugar in a medium heatproof bowl. Whisk the sugar mixture together about 1 to 2 minutes, until it is thick and pale yellow in color.
Place the milk, cream, and vanilla in a heavy duty medium pot. Bring the cream mixture to a gentle simmer over high heat, until bubbles form around the edge of the pot. Remove the mixture from the heat.
Slowly dribble the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking well to prevent curdling.
Place the white chocolate in a large bowl. Set aside.
Place the milk mixture on a double boiler, stirring constantly until it coats the back of a spoon. Then pour the mixture over the chocolate.
Place the chocolate mixture on a double boiler, stirring constantly until it coats the back of a spoon or a candy thermometer reaches between 170F and 180F. (Note: Do not let the mixture boil. If the mixture begins to curdle, remove it from the heat, and let cool. Place it in a blender and whip until smooth.)
Cool the mixture and refrigerate a minimum of 4 hours to let the flavors meld.
Process in your ice cream maker following the manufacturer’s directions. |
