Delicious ice cream, thank you David. I used unfancy citrus peel (which was what I had left over from Christmas baking) and liked that the ice cream kind of mellowed the peel flavour. Will need to hunt for citron and do it again 😉
This is so so good. I have the Perfect Scoop but. never got the chance to make the Panforte ice cream until this newsletter post! I didn't have candied orange peels so I made the ice cream without it - it became like a pumpkin spiced toasted almond ice cream, which was delicious anyways, especially with the chocolate cake I served for Christmas dinner! If anyone is hesitant to make this without the candied orange peels - please do, it's delicious anyways!
Hello. I made this recipe for our family’s Christmas dinner and it was fantastic. I just logged in to say THANK YOU. I have been making ice cream at home for maybe 40 years now and I would put yesterday’s Panforte Ice Cream in the top ten (easily!) For the record we did make our own candied fruit in case any one is wondering whether it’s worth the effort!
This recipe sounds delicious. I love The Perfect Scoop. I often make your recipe for Cinnamon Ice Cream. It's super delicious with homemade fudge sauce or salted caramel sauce --or both together!!!
Ok, I made candied orange and lemon peels today and then made this ice cream to have on Christmas day. As I took it out of the ice cream maker, I couldn't help but have a big spoonful. OMG, it is amazing! I had to leave out the nuts so my granddaughter can have some. I did use a bit more nutmeg than indicated. Also made some Kumquat marmalade after harvesting my little tree. They were not juicy, so I added some blood oranges to the mix. turned out great! YUM! Happy Christmas from Houston.
Around this time of year I see Buddha’s hand at my local store and have wondered”what the heck is that??”Now I know and will buy a few and make candied citron for panforte ice cream. And…. I just bought an induction stove and am loving it! It is definitely an adjustment. Looking forward to a cookbook with induction cooking instructions. Hint hint. Love that it is so quiet, the clean up is so much easier, and no more fumes. It is kind of magical.
I saw Buddha's hand in the market the other day and wondered what to do with it. This sounds delicious. As an aside, I'm now thinking of incorporating the word 'goofball' into my regular vocabulary. It sounds like something Wally would say to his brother Beaver on Leave It to Beaver and it's so much nicer than other things you could call an online troll. :)
I will go for the Panforte bread recipe soon but I have to tell you, I am crazy about the Fruitcake Bars from 2009 (via A. Merdrich) They are incredible!! I made a batch for Thanksgiving and I kept the whole thing which I am just finishing now, perfectly fresh tasting and definitely making more tomorrow.( and forever more ) :):):)
I made a batch today and added a half cup of unsweetened coconut flakes because that's my favorite part of your Chewy Chocolate Chip Bars. Another great one.
It was years ago that you posted a recipe for citron marmalade which I now make whenever I find a citron. Thanks for the enjoyable post! I will definitely make this ice cream.
I bought a new ice cream maker last summer ( my old one died after 20 years), which resides in my garage, and there it sits waiting for me to use it. Your ice cream will be my first try. Happy holidays.

I love those too! The California (Blenheim) apricots really do "make" the flavor, and I bring those back to Paris just to make those : )
They're disappearing but I find them sometimes at Trader Joe's or buy them from Apricot King: https://www.apricotking.com/dried-california-apricots/
Agree, the apricots are key.

Terrific profundity: "I don't mind being wrong, but I LOVE being right"....thank you
