Gelato flavor to go with white truffles...


Recommended Posts

I'm making a dessert with white truffles in it, a rice pudding, no other significant flavors in the pudding just cream, eggs, sugar and of course the truffles and I'm looking for a gelato flavor that will match well with it. Any suggestions?

how about a tart green apple flavor? - one of the best desserts i've ever had (and i'm VERY picky :rolleyes: ) was green apple fritters with white truffle gelato. the flavors worked beautifully together.

Holy crap-- a white truffle rice pudding sounds KILLER. Care to share a recipe? :wink:

I know you're asking for gelato ideas, but I'm not sure I would add a gelato; it's nice to have a contrast of temperature, but I'd think the rice pudding would be rich enough on its own. I think a drizzle of really good EVOO (like McEvoy Ranch's Olio Nuovo) would be perfect-- to make it more "desserty" and less savory, you could infuse vanilla bean into the olive oil! (I had a great vanilla bean-infused EVOO once. Changed my life.)

Ok, I was falling asleep, nodding off, and I thought, "SWEET CORN ICE CREAM!" White truffles and corn are so great together! I really love the sweet corn ice cream recipe from Claudia Fleming's "Last Course."
