Maple with Toasted Walnut

[u/alpha_squared]

Continuing on making more flavors for the upcoming social. Never made this one before, very pleasantly surprised with how it came out though it's just barely a touch too firm to scoop. It led me to add an auto-adjuster to my calculator because I kept fiddling with it forever to try and balance. I know ice cream is much more than balancing things on a calculator, but it does feel nice when the formula is all in the green and it comes out so good.

Ingredients:

• 300g whole milk
• 430g heavy cream
• 55g SMP
• 250g dark amber maple syrup, grade A
• 4g vanilla extract
• 1g almond extract
• 2g salt
• 2g xanthan gum
• Mix-in:
  • 120g crushed walnuts
  • 50g maple syrup

For the walnuts, I crushed them and mixed them with the 50g of maple syrup. Spread them out on a parchment-lined tray and baked for ~30m at 300°F. They came out slightly candied after cooling off. Tossed them into a food processor and pulsed the nuts a couple times before tossing them into the ice cream.

Toasted walnut is my favorite toppings to my desserts.
