Gelato flavor to go with white truffles...

[aidensnd2]

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 ) was green apple fritters with white truffle gelato. the flavors worked beautifully together.

Goat cheese gelato. Goat cheese and truffles are like peanut butter and jelly, they pair so well.

White Chocolate would also be an option.

Olive oil gelato. I've had olive oil ice cream, it was delicious.

Hhmn, guess it isn't too imaginative but I really like Raspberry Gelato in this combination.

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

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."
