Mini Walnut Ice Cream Tarts
These Mini Walnut Ice Cream Tarts are an elegant dessert with a delightful walnut crust filled with homemade vanilla Mascarpone ice cream.
Ingredients
Crust
- 2 cups (200g) ground walnuts
- 1 cup raisins or dates
- 1/2 cup coconut flakes
Vanilla Mascarpone Ice Cream
- 3 eggs
- 2/3 cup (135g) sugar
- 8 oz (250 g) Mascarpone cheese
- 1 tsp (5g) vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare the vanilla Mascarpone ice cream.
- Separate the egg yolks from the whites. Mix egg yolks with sugar until thick, creamy, and pale yellow colored. You can also do this over a bain-marie.
- Add Mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract and blend well.
- Whip egg whites until foamy with a mixer, and gently fold them into the Mascarpone mixture. To avoid any risk, you can also heat the egg whites over a bain-marie for about 5 minutes before whipping.
- Pour the whole mixture into a bowl and put it in the freezer. In 3-4 hours is ready to serve.
Prepare the walnut crust.
- For the crust, beat all ingredients in a food processor until the mixture is sticky.
- Split the mixture into 12 equal pieces. Cover each of the 12 mini cupcake pan molds with plastic wrap and then press each piece of mixture into a mini cupcake mold.
- Refrigerate until ice cream is ready to serve.
