Ingredients for 5dl ice cream:
125 ml cream
180 ml whole milk
50 g sugar
2 egg yolks
1 egg
pinch of salt
the zest of a 1/4 lemon
half a vanilla pod
75 g cottage cheese
For the crumbs:
50 g butter
50 g sugar
50 g all-purpose flour
50 g almond flour
For the apricot jam:
1 kg ripe apricots peeled and pitted
15 dkg cane sugar
1 tbsp apple pectin or apple extract
Instructions:
To make the crumbs, work together the ingredients in a bowl and then lay and then spread them on a baking sheet. Bake them for 8-9 minutes in a 170°C (338°F) oven until lightly toasted. Let them cool down.
Beat the eggs and the yolks with the sugar and slowly add the lightly warmed-up milk-cream mixture. Simmer and stir the mixture continuously until it becomes thick. Place the mixture in a separate bowl and place it in cold water. Add the cottage cheese, the lemon zest, a pinch of salt and the vanilla. Churn the mixture in an ice cream machine according to manufacturers’ instructions. If you like, you can add raisins soaked in sugar syrup.
For the apricot jam, we wash, peel and pit the fruits. We add the sugar and the apple pectin or extract, heat them up and let them boil for a couple of minutes. We put the mixture in a blender and purée it. We can store the jam in jars up to two weeks in the fridge.
To serve the Rákóczi cottage cheese ice cream, we sprinkle some crumbs at the bottom of the ice cream bowl. Add a scoop of ice cream and top it with the apricot jam.
