WHAT IS IN TURTLE ICE CREAM RECIPES

Steps:

• Chill the ice cream bowl for at least 24 hours or until solid. You should not hear any water sloshing around when you shake the bowl.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until smooth and pale yellow in color.
• Add the milk and salt to a saucepan over medium heat. Bring the milk to a simmer and then remove from the heat. Be sure not to boil.
• Add about 1/2 cup of the hot milk to the egg and sugar mixture and whisk constantly until combined.
• Then, add the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot milk.
• Heat the saucepan on low. Stirring constantly, heat until the base has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. This should take a few minutes.
• Strain the mixture into a bowl to remove any pieces of egg that may have cooked.
• Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and almond extract and stir to combine.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap making sure to have the plastic wrap touching the surface of the ice cream base. This will help keep it from forming a skin while chilling. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until cold.
• Churn the ice cream mixture in the bowl of your ice cream machine according to your manufacturer’s instructions (mine took about 20 minutes), until it is thick and the consistency of soft-serve ice cream.
• In the last two minutes, add the chopped chocolate and all but one tablespoon of the toasted pecans. Churn until they are evenly distributed.
• Spoon half of the ice cream into a shallow container or a loaf pan.
• Top with half of the caramel sauce and chocolate sauce and lightly swirl with a spoon.
• Repeat with remaining ice cream, caramel sauce and chocolate sauce. Top with remaining pecans.
• Press plastic wrap or wax paper to the surface of the ice cream. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
• Let sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Whisk first 5 ingredients in a 2-quart pitcher or large bowl until blended. Cover and chill 30 minutes.
• Pour milk mixture into freezer container of a 1-quart electric ice-cream maker, and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. (Instructions and times will vary.)
• Stir caramel sauce into prepared ice cream. Remove container with ice cream from ice-cream maker, and place in freezer 15 minutes. Microwave semisweet chocolate morsels and shortening in a microwave-safe glass bowl at HIGH 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Place toasted chopped pecans on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Drizzle pecans with melted chocolate. Freeze 5 minutes. Break into bite-size pieces. Stir chocolate-and-pecan pieces into ice cream. Transfer to an airtight container; freeze until firm, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
