Cold Truffles
Truffle ice cream. It doesn’t get much more indulgent than this.
I’ve never seen something so beautiful.
I’m starting the Creme Anglaise here, which is the base for many ice creams. Its a custard base used for desserts, consisting of heavy cream or milk, egg yolks and sugar.
I grate the truffles into the milk, before steeping the milk so the flavor of the truffle truly blossoms.
This was the egg and sugar mixture, that sort of liquified into one compound. I pour it into the chilled bowl, especially designed for ice cream making. This bowl is a separate part you buy that has a double wall and inside it is filled with water. You’re supposed to freeze the bowl so that the water inside becomes frozen and your ice cream can start to chill with the mixture spins.
I also add the truffle/milk mixture. This smell, the smell of the heat coming from the milk and truffles infusing, should be made into a perfume called “Milk & Truffles”.
At this point, the ice cream is ready to be spooned into its compartment.
You can see its still very soft, which is why it needs to be frozen again. You could eat it as is but it will be incredibly soft.
You can see after its been sitting in the fridge it adds a yellowish tint. This is most likely from the truffles.
you’re just amazing!
i want some of that ice cream. it looks unreal.
I have to try this someday, aw your dog!
I completely understand! I have three cats who are insanely spoiled and important to me. I have moved cross-country 4 times with them and will never ever leave them alone (with others feeding the, etc.) for more than 4 days. Animals are amazing.
That ice cream….I want to try it so badly!!!!!! Looks amazing.

Daphne-
Yea, Rocky’s obviously going to pass before I do and I don’t know whats going to happen to me that day. I will probably sick into a deep depression for a bit.

To the girl with the name spelled in chinese;
There are a million recipes online for ice cream, and I used one I found on on the internet. FOODTV.COM has trustworthy ones, and the only difference for this truffle one is that you have to heat the milk with truffle shavings. Super easy.
i think you are my “kirkland.” the multi-faceted brand that encompasses food and clothing and who knows what other magic. except on a way crazier, more luxurious and super special level
My body seriously started to shiver as I read each line and moved from one picture to the next. Look at the texture of that truffle! Why isn’t there a thing where I can scratch a taste.
And what a happy coincidence, my sister JUST got the Cuisinart professional ice cream maker and I’ve been looking for recipes for the past few hours. I think I will try this! Where can I get whole truffles?
scratch & taste*
i just adopted a dog, cleo and i’m absolutely obsessed with her. that pic of rocky reminded me of when i was little and would feed my grandma’s german shepard vanilla ice cream. he loved it.
les truffes ont toujours été mon 1er choix au restaurant, je le mettais partout, en huile, sur les pâtes, le risotto!
et mon autre truc favorit: les glace ben&jerrys… si je peux mixer les deux, et avoir mon plaisir dans une glace, cool je devrais essayer!!
the only question is..does it taste salty or sweet??
never tried a salty ice cream…
bonne nuit
tartufo!! yum, my absolute favorite strong flavor after porcini mushrooms… hey if you need an italian ingredient proxy i’m your girl
Wow…. I would love that ice cream. Lucky dog! xo Cari http://isnotfashion.blogspot.com
Holy shit, as usual. I really can’t think of any thing more indulgent than TRUFFLE ice cream. Isn’t it Kimora Lee Simmons who uses La Mer face cream on her whole body? Perhaps this treat might be indulgent/lavish/expensive enough for her. Alas, the rest of us can merely live vicariously through you – and Rocky. Nice work, my dear.
liz!
lol no thats Jennifer Lopez who does that hahahah.
although I don’t know whose worse..Jennifer lopez or
Kimora lee simmons.
was randomly surfing through ebay when i saw these boots and thought, "now who can pull these off?" so of course i had to show these to you…

aren't they awesome?? very reminiscint of the rick owens furry boots.
anyway, that ice cream looks amazing! and i had no idea that truffles cost THAT much!

You’re too nice! I wouldn’t let my dogs touch such nice ice cream. They wouldn’t even appreciate it.
I’m unbelievably glad I just discovered your blog.
it’s just unbelievable.
and the way you took photos of the ice cream making process. the ice cream. incredible.
you’re something.
Man, I can almost smell the aroma and the milkiness of your ice cream. I wish I were your dog right now…LOL…

can you describe how this tastes? i’m super curious. i love truffles, but i’m so used to it in savory dishes, that i’m having a hard time imagining how it would taste as ice cream. it sounds super amazing though!
ps. i also feed my dog ice cream =X
hey love! thank you for the dedication
you are too sweet
i sooo feed daryl ice cream, too! well..with the exception that he doesn't get home made ice cream (sorry daryl!) but i bought the tiny little cones at albertson's by mistake and now we both eat them. haha
<3
so talented!
I’d love to see you on a programme called Come Dine With Me. It’s aired in the UK and people cook for each other (three courses) and then get rated out of ten. You’d blow the poor sods out of the water!
Seriously, I am enjoying the food posts like no other

HAHAH its good. Like I know it sounds weird. Just imagine milk with truffle smell, with sugar.
Its hard to describe truffle smell. You know truffle is infused in honey very often right?
It was great of you to dedicate this post.
The ice cream looks divine. And I love the measuring cups in the ingredients shot! That and the beaten metal dish with ice cream.
Truffle Ice-cream,..yumm…I love anything with truffle. That’ amazing. beautiful work!
Hanh,

it’s all been said about the truffle helado, so i’ll just add that i love the labels you design and print for all your creations- a perfect finishing touch. you are a true artist ji.

ps i would love it if you could take a look at my site? minorkeys1.blogspot.com
Your dog is living the dream
thanks for the info. hahahha i know jack shit about truffles. basically. my knowledge is limited to the following: they come in black or white, are usually “hunted” using pigs instead of dogs because dogs will eat them and pigs won’t… and most importantly that they taste amazing. especially on mcdonald’s french fries (okay..i’m going into hiding now. i can’t believe i just admitted that).
Robyn-
Thats not something to be ashamed about!! Truffles and potatoes are the perfect combo and I can’t even imagine how good truffled french fries would be.
mcdonalds has the best fries
I don’t know what to say.. you’re amazing! this looks so soft and delicious!
I had the best truffle risotto ever. Best risotto ever, even. Except the awful thing is that the chef got such bad eczesma on his hands (washing up and so on) that after a while his doctor banned him from cooking (ever again!)… it was awful! (He’d trained at Harry’s bar and all…)
Now I’m hungry again. that really does look delicious; I would have eaten mos of the creme anglaise and had to remake the whole batch though!
O H M Y G O S H !!!
I have drool on my keyboard…
Amazing…
OMFG. I seriously thought I died and went to Heaven reading this entry.
Your photography is amazing as well. Love your blog.
I just got sent a link to your blog and I am dumbstruck. It is Food, fashion, photography all rolled into art…you are one talented person!
Thanks for sharing your art with the world…
..and I am SO going to try to make those avocado salad things!!! What a presentation!
I like how all of your cooking shots look like a science experiment. Reminds me of being back in the chemistry lab
Is Rocky a maltese? I have two malti-poos and they love testing my kitchen creations. I agree — they are pretty much the best creatures on earth.
Luxirare,
I simply love your Blog, & enjoy every inspirational post you create.
I hope you always continue these sensational food posts.
I have one question though, when i make Ice cream, finding an appropriate compartment is extremely difficult. So if its possible may i please know where i can find any?
Shaikha,
I noticed an address to your webpage from Themelis Cuiper’s SocialGarden Biz studies : e-commerce & socialmedia, so you are doing an exceptional job as he provides a link to you!
lol i want to be your dog!
