π§Ύ Ingredients
Pint size
The Creami takes two pint sizes. Switch and every quantity rescales.
Base
- 380 ml milk 3.2%
- 150 ml cooking cream 20%
- 70 g dark chocolate 70%, chopped
- 70 g maple syrup
- 25 g glucose syrup
- 20 g extra virgin olive oil use a peppery one
- 18 g cocoa powder, unsweetened
- 18 g egg yolk 1 medium yolk
- 1.5 g flaky salt
- 1 g guar gum
Scaled down from the 710 ml batch, so round awkward numbers however you like.
π©βπ³ Process
- Whisk the cocoa into the cold milk first. Dry into wet, or you fight lumps forever.
- Warm milk, cream, glucose and maple to 70 °C, pull off the heat and melt in the chocolate.
- Temper the yolk, return to low heat and take it to 80 °C.
- Off the heat add olive oil, salt and guar gum and blend 30 seconds — the oil has to emulsify properly.
- Chill fully. The base thickens noticeably in the fridge, that is correct.
- Fill to the line, freeze 24 h, ICE CREAM program, re-spin as needed.
π Notes
- The olive oil keeps it scoopable straight from the freezer. It never fully hardens.
- Finish the bowl with a few flakes of salt rather than more sweetener.
- Swap 20 ml of the milk for espresso to push the chocolate darker.
Machine:
Fill the pint to the MAX line, freeze flat for 24 h, run ICE CREAM, then RE-SPIN with a splash of milk if the first pass comes out crumbly.
