Vercors ice cream with Thermomix
This is ice cream like no other. Served in slices, topped with caramel, garnished with meringue chips and chopped walnuts, Vercors ice cream with Thermomix is a specialty that goes off the beaten track… or rather, frozen! No need for an ice cream maker, its creamy and slightly vanilla-flavoured preparation is made in a food processor before setting in cake molds like a semifreddo, in the freezer… where it can be kept for several months. An easy recipe for a stunning result!

Clean the bowl with cold water, dry it and replace it with the whisk. Pour in the very cold whole cream and run for 4 mins at speed 1, increasing gradually to reach speed 4 after 1 min. At 3 min, when the cream has the consistency of whipped cream, add the rest of the icing sugar. Gently fold this whipped cream into the mixture in the bowl, using a spatula.

Tips
You can use either a large meringue or several small ones for the Vercors ice cream with the Thermomix, as long as they are crunchy and not soft. Do not hesitate to cook them yourself if you have the time, as well as for the caramel which can be homemade with the Thermomix. Place a sufficiently generous layer at the bottom of the mold to facilitate unmolding. You can also line the walls if you wish!
