<strong>Prepare o Creme Inglês de Cupuaçu:</strong> Em uma tigela, bata as gemas com 100g de açúcar refinado até obter um creme claro e fofo. Em uma panela, aqueça o leite condensado em fogo baixo, sem deixar ferver. Lentamente, adicione uma pequena porção do leite quente às gemas batidas, misturando vigorosamente para temperá-las. Despeje as gemas temperadas de volta na panela com o restante do leite condensado. Cozinhe em fogo baixo, mexendo sem parar, até a mistura engrossar ligeiramente e cobrir as costas de uma colher (temperatura ideal de 80-82°C). Retire do fogo, adicione a polpa de cupuaçu e o extrato de baunilha, misturando bem. Leve à geladeira para esfriar completamente por pelo menos 4 horas.

2

<strong>Bata o Creme de Leite Fresco:</strong> Em uma batedeira, bata o creme de leite fresco gelado até atingir picos firmes. Não bata demais para não transformar em manteiga. O ponto correto é de chantilly macio.

3

<strong>Combine the Mixtures:</strong> Gently incorporate the whipped heavy cream into the already cold cupuaçu base, mixing with a spatula in gentle movements from bottom to top, to maintain aeration. This combination will form the aerated and creamy base of your ice cream.

4

<strong>Prepare the Brazil Nut Praline:</strong> In a small pan, mix the 50g of refined sugar, 2 tablespoons of water, and a pinch of salt. Take to medium heat, without stirring, until obtaining a golden caramel. Add the chopped Brazil nuts and mix quickly to coat all the nuts. Pour the praline onto a sheet of parchment paper or a greased silicone mat. Let cool completely and harden. Once cold, break the praline into small pieces or crush lightly.

5

<strong>Freeze the Ice Cream:</strong> If using an ice cream maker, follow the manufacturer's instructions. Generally, it takes 20 to 40 minutes to reach the consistency of soft ice cream. If you don't have an ice cream maker, transfer the mixture to a shallow container and take it to the freezer. Stir every 30-45 minutes with a fork to break up ice crystals and incorporate air, repeating for 4-6 hours until firm.

6

<strong>Incorporate the Praline:</strong> In the last 5 minutes of churning in the ice cream maker, add most of the praline. If freezing manually, add the praline when the ice cream is almost firm in the last stir. Save some for decorating. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and take to the freezer for at least another 1-2 hours to firm up before serving.

Chef Tips

- Do not let the egg yolk mixture boil in the pan; cook stirring always with a spatula until it covers the back of the spoon (about 82°C). - Cool the cupuaçu base completely in the refrigerator before incorporating the whipped fresh heavy cream. - Grind the chestnut praline into medium-small pieces so they remain crunchy when chewed in the middle of the ice cream.

Variations

- Add 70% cocoa dark chocolate shavings to the ice cream batter along with the praline to create an Amazonian stracciatella. - Mix a tablespoon of aged cachaça into the ice cream base to lower the freezing point and make it super velvety. - Serve with a warm dark chocolate sauce drizzled over the frozen scoops for thermal contrast.

Substitutions

- The Brazil nut can be replaced by unsalted roasted cashew nuts or chopped pecans. - Pure cupuaçu pulp can be replaced with pure frozen soursop pulp while maintaining the proportion of fruity acidity. - The refined sugar in the praline can be replaced by demerara sugar for a caramel with a more amber color.

How to Store

Store in an airtight container suitable for the freezer with a sheet of parchment paper touching the surface of the ice cream directly for up to 1 month. Leave in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before serving to form perfect balls.

Can You Freeze It?

The ice cream reaches its ideal consistency after 6 to 8 hours in the freezer. If you don't use an electric ice cream maker, beat the mixture in the food processor every 40 minutes for the first 3 hours in the freezer.

What to Serve With

Pairs with thin slices of warm cassava cake, crispy nut tuiles, simple buttery cookies, or a short, full-bodied espresso without sugar.

Frequently Asked Questions

What to do if the egg yolk cream curdles in the pan?

Transfer the hot cream immediately to the blender or beat with a hand mixer for 1 minute to restore the homogeneous emulsion.

How to make ice cream soft without having an ice cream maker at home?

The high fat content of 35% heavy cream and the sugars in the condensed milk prevent crystals; just beat every 45 minutes at the beginning of freezing.

Does the cupuaçu pulp need to be sweetened beforehand?

No, use 100% pure fruit pulp without sugar; the intense natural acidity of the fruit precisely balances the sweetness of the dairy base.

How do I prevent the nut praline from softening in the freezer?

Caramelize the sugar until golden brown without burning and add the crushed praline only at the end of beating with the dough already cold.
