    There is no cake for you today in this house! I did not heat up the oven… well, actually I did, but not to bake a cake. Nope. Today I got some nice ice cream for you. Ice cream inspired by a cake. Can’t get rid of the cake topic completely. Somehow they are everywhere involved :P

    Well… there was no new recipe for ice cream here on this blog for quite some time I have to admit. Maybe because it takes so much time to make normally. Preparing the ice cream mixture, filling it into the popsicle mold, and then waiting for hours and hours… too much for me! I want results much quicker! Fortunately, we now have “Elli” at home ;)

    You might ask “Who is Elli?”. Well, Elli is the latest addition to the ice cream maker line of Springlane. If you know Springlane, you probably know the “ice cream ladies” already: Emma, Elisa and now Elli. A “small” ice cream maker in white and silver to make about 5 cups of ice at once. If you want to know more about Elli, check out her Springlane website*

    To be honest – I actually should not recommend this machine. It’s a mean little machine! As soon as you have her at home in your kitchen you will make ice cream every day and stop doing other things. Really ;P

    It happened to us. After the first weekend with Elli at home, we suddenly had five different ice cream flavors in our freezer. Every fruit or berry we had at home turned into ice cream. A ripe mango? Turned into mango buttermilk ice cream, bananas and strawberries into banana-strawberry-mascarpone ice cream… and so on ;)

    When thinking about what kind of recipe I could do for the blog, I wanted to make something special. I made a carrot cake the other day and turning that flavor combination into an ice cream sounded quite tempting ;) So now we have a cream cheese-based ice cream here with candied carrots, rum raisins, and caramelized pecans – sounds good, right?

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Add the raisins and rum to a small bowl or glass, cover and let soak over night.

    2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside. Melt the butter and add together with the pecans to a small bowl – mix until the pecans are evenly covered with the melted butter. Mix the sugar with cinnamon and salt and then add to the bowl with the pecans and mix until evenly coated. Place on the prepared baking sheet and toast for about 10-12 minutes. Take out of the oven and let cool down completely, then chop coarsely.

    3. Grate the carrots finely, then add them together with the sugar and water to a small pot and bring to a boil. Let simmer for about 20-25 minutes until the water in the pot is more or less a thick syrup and the carrots look very glossy. Make sure not to burn the carrots – stir from time to time. Drain the carrots and let cool down completely.

    4. Mix the cream cheese with sour cream, sugar, and lemon zest in a small bowl until smooth and well combined. Add the mix to your ice cream maker and let freeze. With my machine, it took about 20 minutes. Add the raisins (optional), the cooked carrots, and about half of the chopped pecans and mix it with the ice cream – let the machine continue for another 10-15 minutes so everything is well combined and smooth. Fill into a small bowl, sprinkle the remaining pecans on top and place in the fridge until firm before serving.

    1. Am Vorabend die Rosinen mit dem Rum vermischen und über Nacht oder auch länger ziehen lassen.

    2. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Die Butter schmelzen, die Pekannüsse mit der Butter in eine Schüssel geben und alles gut vermengen, bis alle Nüsse mit Butter überzogen sind. Den Zucker mit dem Zimt und Salz vermischen, zur Schüssel dazugeben und alles gut vermischen, damit die Pekannüsse gleichmäßig damit überzogen sind. Auf dem Blech verteilen und dann für 10-12 Minuten backen. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und abkühlen lassen, dann grob hacken.

    3. Die Karotten raspeln und dann zusammen mit dem Zucker und Wasser in einen kleinen Topf geben. Zum Kochen bringen und dann für 20-25 Minuten leicht köcheln lassen, damit die Karotten schön glasig gekocht werden und die Flüssigkeit ein wenig einkocht. Achtet darauf, dass nichts anbrennt und immer wieder mal rühren. Die Karotten vom Herd nehmen, abtropfen lassen und dann zur Seite stellen und abkühlen lassen.

    4. Für die Eiscreme Basis den Frischkäse mit der Sauren Sahne, Zucker und Zitronenschale glattrühren. Die Masse in die Eismaschine füllen und dann bei der Ellie etwa 20 Minuten frieren lassen – die Masse sollte noch nicht zu sehr gefroren sein. Die Rosinen (optional), Karotten und etwa die Hälfte der Pekannüsse dazugeben und unterrühren. Die Maschine weitere 10-15 Minuten arbeiten lassen, bis alles gut vermisch ist und das Eis eine schöne Konsistenz hat. Das Eis in eine Schüssel/Schale umfüllen, mit den restlichen Pekannüssen bestreuen und dann noch für ein Weilchen in den Gefrierschrank stellen, damit die Masse fester wird.
