Como fazer Light Cherry Amaretto Cheesecake Ice Cream
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of sugar and 2 large egg yolks until pale and slightly thickened.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 4 tablespoons of sugar with 2 cups of whole milk. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is just about to simmer.
- Temper the egg yolks: Slowly whisk about ½ cup of the warm milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture to temper them, preventing the yolks from scrambling.
- Gradually pour the tempered egg yolk mixture into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture, whisking constantly.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 3-5 minutes). Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any lumps. Let it cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat together 8 ounces of cream cheese and 4 ounces of mascarpone cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add ½ cup cherry jam, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon almond extract, ½ teaspoon amaretto extract, and 2 tablespoons of amaretto liqueur. Beat until well combined.
- Gradually add the cooled custard to the cream cheese mixture on low speed, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Place the ice cream mixture into a bowl set in an ice bath for 10 minutes to quickly cool.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Stir the mixture to re-combine and churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- During the last minute or two of churning, add ¼ cup crushed graham crackers.
- Serve immediately or freeze for 1-4 hours for a firmer consistency. Top with fresh cherries and enjoy!
