(Plombir Slivochnyi)
|
|
|
| What You Need: |
|
|
|
1˝ cups finely chopped glazed mixed fruits

˝ cup confectioners sugar
˝ cup blanched, toasted almonds, pulverized in a mortar and pestle or in a nut grinder

|
| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. In a small mixing bowl, sprinkle the glazed fruits with the vanilla and almond extracts and let them soak for at least 15 minutes.
|
2. In a large, chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with a whisk or rotary or electric beater until it begins to thicken. Gradually beat in the sugar, a tablespoon at a time and continue to beat until the cream holds fairly firm peaks on the beater when it is lifted out of the bowl.
|
3. With a rubber spatula, fold in the glazed-fruit mixture and the ground almonds and continue to fold until the ingredients are well combined. Transfer the mixture to a 1˝-quart souffle dish or charlotte mold, smooth the top and cover with plastic wrap or foil.
|
4. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm. To unmold, run a narrow knife or spatula around the inside edge of the ice cream.
|
5. Then dip the bottom of the mold into hot water for about 15 seconds. Wipe the mold dry, invert a flat serving plate on top of it, and grasping mold and plate firmly together, turn them over.
|
6. The ice cream should slide out easily. To serve, cut into pie-shaped wedges with a knife dipped in hot water.
