Method
Begin by making the lemon ice cream. Place the milk and cream in a pan and heat gently. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and sugar until thick. Slowly whisk in some of the heated milk mixture to temper the eggs, then pour back into the pan and place over a low heat, continuously stirring until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon
- 400ml of whole milk
- 375ml of double cream
- 90g of egg yolk
- 125g of caster sugar
Stir in the zest of 3 lemons then chill over ice. Pour into 80g cylindrical moulds if you have them (or a simple container if not) and freeze
- 3 lemons , zested
To make the almond tuiles, preheat an oven to 165ºC/gas mark 3. Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks, then whisk in the sugar bit by bit to create a glossy meringue. Whisk in the lime zest and rosewater, then fold in the rice flour and ground almonds
- 45g of egg white
- 50g of caster sugar
- 1/4 lime , zested
- 1/4 tsp rose water
- 25g of rice flour
- 25g of ground almonds
Spoon the mixture into circles the same size as the ice cream moulds set on a silpat mat or baking tray lined with baking paper – you should get around 20 in total. Bake for 6 minutes until firm, then set aside
To make the sour cherry purée, place all the ingredients in a pan and cook over a low heat for 20 minutes, stirring regularly. Blend into a smooth purée and chill
- 100g of sour cherries , pitted
- 20g of caster sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
To serve, place half of the tuiles upside-down onto plates and spread with a little of the cherry purée. De-mould the ice-cream pucks and roll the edges in sumac and place them on top (or add a scoop of ice cream to each tuile and dust it with sumac). Add another spoonful of purée, then lay out the remaining tuiles and dust half with icing sugar and half with ground pistachios. Place the lids on the ice creams to create ice cream sandwiches and finish with a final dot or purée and a sprig of mint
- sumac
- ground pistachio nuts , for dusting
- icing sugar, for dusting
- fresh mint leaves
