Cocktail with vanilla ice cream and hazelnuts

When it comes to a refreshing and delicious dessert, nothing compares to a vanilla ice cream and nut cocktail. This recipe is simple yet full of flavor, perfect for warm days or any special occasion. Preparing this ice cream cocktail involves a few essential steps, which we will detail carefully.

The first step is to prepare the base. In a pot, add a generous amount of fresh milk, about one liter, and bring it to a boil over medium heat. It is important to choose quality milk, as it will influence the final taste of the cocktail. When the milk reaches boiling point, you will notice bubbles forming at the edge of the pot. This is the ideal time to add the roasted, peeled, and crushed nuts.

To achieve an intense flavor, you can use hazelnuts or peanuts, depending on your preferences. An amount of about 150 grams should be sufficient to provide a rich taste and pleasant texture. After adding the nuts, mix well with a spatula or whisk to ensure they are evenly distributed in the milk.

Immediately after adding the nuts, remove the pot from the heat and cover it with a lid. Let the mixture sit for about an hour, allowing the flavors to combine and intensify. This step is crucial, as it allows the nuts to release their natural oils, enriching the milk with a deep and delicious flavor.

After the time has expired, it is time to strain the mixture to remove the crushed nuts. Use a fine sieve or cheesecloth to obtain a smooth milk without granules. Now, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor. The vanilla will add a sweet and floral note that will blend perfectly with the nuts.

Once you have completed these steps, transfer the mixture to a container and place it in the freezer for a few hours until it is completely frozen. When the ice cream cocktail is ready, take it out of the freezer and let it sit for a few minutes to soften slightly. Serve it in cups, optionally adding some roasted nuts for decoration. You can accompany this dessert with chocolate sauce or whipped cream for an extra treat. This vanilla and nut ice cream cocktail recipe is not only tasty but also easy to prepare, making it ideal for impressing guests or treating yourself. Enjoy every spoonful!

The milk is boiled. When it boils, roasted, peeled, and crushed peanuts are added. The milk is taken off the heat and left covered for an hour. It is served cold, in cocktail glasses, with a tablespoon of ice cream and vodka (about 40 ml) added and mixed.
