Panforte Ice Cream

I lose my scooper, so I couldn't have "the perfect scoop" for taking the picture.T_T

I'm crazy for the book "The Perfect Scoop" recently. Owning the book is just like owning a whole amazing ice cream store. I love ice cream, and I love to try on any possibility of ice cream. I would love to experience something unexpected rather than having something classic. Some unusual or abnormal flavors taste weired at first bite, but I might get used to them and then fall in love with their unique taste. Elisen Lebkuchen is one of the examples.








The panforte has similar ingredients as Lebkuchen. I like spice and candied peel, so I've planned to try this recipe for a while.

I followed the original recipe to make my first batch of ice cream. OMG...I was astonished again by the genius, Davis Lebovitz. I love the smelling which is explode when I bit the toasted almond and chewed my homemade candied peel...amazing!


And soon I made a variation for another batch. I used yogurt instead of cream and muscovado instead of white sugar. The flavor of ice cream is dominated by muscovado and yogurt which I felt odd at the begining. However, it made me want to have one bite from another. Although it didn't taste creamy as the original one, it tasted fresh and light. I like them, both.
