Title: Figs in Cabernet Sauvignon with Almond Ice Cream
Categories: Desserts, Wines, Masterchefs, Frisco, Tmr
Yield: 2 Servings
CREME ANGLAISE
1 qt Milk
1/2 lb Sugar
12 lg Egg yolks, reserve the
whites
Paste, vanilla bean
FIGS
2 Figs, ripe
6 oz Cabernet Sauvignon
Sugar
ASSEMBLY
1 c Almonds, sliced, blanched
2 oz Paste, pistachio
1. In a saucepan, bring milk to a boil. Place the sugar and egg
yolks in a mixer or bowl and whip well, then add vanilla bean paste.
Add milk to the sugar and eggs, while whipping. Put this mixture into
a large metal bowl and heat slowly. Using a wooden spatula, move egg
yolks around so they will not cook. When puffed and mixed, cool by
placing the bowl in ice water.
2. Peel the figs, cut in half and sprinkle tops with sugar.
Place them in a flat bowl with the wine (Cabernet Sauvignon or Port)
and marinate overnight (at least 2 - 3 hours). Reserve marinade and
figs.
3. Pour the Creme Anglaise into a saucepan, mix with 3/4 cups of
the almonds and pistachio paste, then process in an ice cream machine.
4. To serve, put the figs on a plate. Shape the chilled Creme
Anglaise into quenelles and add to the plates. Pour marinade over the
figs, add whipped cream mixed with sugar. Sprinkle with almonds
(chopped) and serve.
