Ice cream

Jagode.

Crvene, sočne, senzualne jagode predstavljaju voće ljubavi, a uz koje su nerijetko vezane brojne legende i mitovi. Najpoznatija legenda seže još u doba starog Rima koja priča o smrti junaka Adonisa zbog čije je smrti Venera pustila suze. Kada su suze dotaknule zemlju, nastale su senzualne, ljubavne srcolike jagode. 

Iako su jagode tada bile drugačije od onih koje mi danas poznajemo, više divlji plod, to im svejedno nije umanjilo njihovu ljepotu.

Možete li zamisliti puniji okus od onog kada su vam usta puna sočnih jagoda?

Jagode su jedne od ljetnih sočnih voćkica zbog kojih poželite više vremena provesti u krevetu, a ne u kuhinji, a što su upravo dokazali Francuzi koji jagode smatraju afrodizijakom :)

...................................................................................................................................................

·         Ostatak jagoda izmiksajte u blenderu u sitni pire. Ostavite sa strane.

...................................................................................................................................................

·         Žumanjke pomiješajte s 60 g kristal šećera pa miksajte dok se sav šećer ne umiksa.

...................................................................................................................................................

·         U većoj tećici zagrijte mlijeko, vrhnje i ostatak šećera. Skinite s vatre prije nego zavrije.

...................................................................................................................................................

·         Polagano ulijte vruće mlijeko u žumanjke stalno miješajući, a potom žumanjke zajedno s mlijekom vratite u tećicu pa stavite na vatru. Kuhajte stalno miješajući na srednje jakoj vatri dok se smjesa ne zgusne, oko 5 minuta. Skinite s vatre kada smjesa zavrije, pazeći da se žumanjci ne prekuhaju.

·         Zamrznite nekoliko sati, najmanje 3 sata, a potom dodajte sjeckane jagode iz hladnjaka. Dobro ih umiješajte u sladoled. Vratite sladoled u zamrzivač na još par sati, ponovno izvadite, dodajte aromu jagode i laganim pokretima je umiješajte da se stvore šare po sladoledu, pa vratite u zamrzivač. Ostavite sladoled neka se zamrzava oko 24 sata, pritom najmanje 8 puta sladoled izmiješajte u toku zamrzavanja kako biste izbjegli kristaliće leda na sladoledu (naravno, ako nemate aparat za sladoled).
