Pretzel Ice Cream Recipe

Ice Cream Ingredients (Approx 1 Litre):

150g Sugar
400 ml Double Cream
720 ml Whole Milk
60 Grams Skim Milk Powder
3 Grams Ice Cream Stabiliser Mix
100g Salted Pretzels

Biscuit Mix In:

40g Ritz Crackers
60g Salted Mini Pretzels
30g Salted Potatoe Chips
60g Skimmed Milk Powder
200g Caster Sugar
120g Unsalted Butter (Melted)
200g M&Ms or Similar

Recipe:

Biscuit Mix in:

Preheat oven to 135C. Butter a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper.
Use your hands to break up crackers, pretzels, and potato chips in a large bowl into pieces about a quarter of the original size. The goal is not to pulverize them into dust.
Add skim milk powder and sugar and toss to combine.
Pour the butter over the mixture and work it together with your hands, squeezing it into clumps and breaking it apart, almost like kneading dough.
Spread mixture evenly over a prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 mins, until the mix begins to toast and turn brown. Set aside to cool completely.

Ice cream:

Add a little sugar to the ice cream stabilizer mix.
Heat the milk over medium-high heat until it starts to steam. Remove from heat and stir in pretzels. Let steep for 20 minutes.
Pour the mix through a strainer into a bowl, and extract as much milk as possible.
Return to pan.
Add sugar and skim milk powder.
Use a hand blender to ensure it’s fully dissolved and no lumps remain.
Stir in cream.
Put on medium heat, stir often, scraping the bottom to prevent sticking.
When it reaches 65°C, add the sugar and stabilizer mix.
Cook and stir until it reaches 75°C.
Pour through a sieve into a container and chill.
Transfer the cooled base to the machine and churn.
Fold in the mix-ins and M&M’s as they come out of the machine.
