Pine nut praline ice-cream

Method

1. Put the water, sugar and vanilla bean in a saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring so the sugar is fully dissolved. Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, place the egg yolks in a electric mixer and whisk them for about 5 minutes until they are light and fluffy. Reduce the speed of the whisker and pour the boiling syrup in. Add the cold cream, whisking quickly to incorporate, then turn off the motor.
3. Allow the mixture to cool for about 5 minutes, then pour it into your ice-cream machine and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Just before it is ready to be transferred to the freezer, add the pine nut praline and let the machine work it through the mixture. Move it to the freezer and let it firm up before serving.
