Howdy,
This one confuses me due to the wording on the eggs. I picked it up at Sur La Table's ice cream, gelato & sorbet class.
4/5 cups of sugar (4/5's, What's up with that? Anyway)
2 ounces good quality chcolate, grated
2 cups whipped cream
1 cup blanched peeled almonds, toasted and ground
2 eggs, separated, and two more yolks
2 Tbsp Ameretto
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
2 cups milk
1) Heat milk & dissolve the chocolate into it, then let it cool
2) Beat the yolks until they are flffy pale yellow with the sugar, then beat in the cooled milk mixture & ground almonds
3) Heat the cream over a double boiler, stirring constantly, until it thickens. Don't let it boil or it will curdle.
4) Let the cream cool, & then combine it with the whipped cream, Amaretto & cocoa powder. Pout the mixture into the ice cream machine & make the ice cream.
I would think one might use 4 eggs in this recipe, however I'm a tad confused as to why they wrote it as such. Are they intending to use 2 eggs & 2 more yokes? They say to separate, however they never talk about using the whites, so why not just say 4 egg yokes?
