Spicy Curd-Pear Ice Cream
2 servings
40 minutes
Spiced cottage cheese and pear ice cream is a delicate blend of creamy texture and sweet, caramelized pear enhanced with aromatic spices. This dessert has roots in European traditions of using cottage cheese to create airy sweet dishes. Baked pears add natural sweetness and a deep, rich flavor to the ice cream, while spices provide a warm spicy note that makes it particularly cozy. Honey and condensed milk add tenderness and a slight stickiness, highlighting the creamy nature of the dessert. It's the perfect treat for leisurely enjoyment on a cool day, and its original presentation in baked pear makes it even more exquisite.
