Sweet Heat Symphony: Vanilla Ice Cream with Nerds and Diced Habanero Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 quart high-quality vanilla ice cream, softened slightly
- ¼ cup Nerds candy (your favorite mix)
- 1 small habanero pepper, finely diced (remove seeds and membranes for less heat, handle with caution!)
Processes/Steps:
- Prepare the Habanero: Using gloves, carefully remove the stem, seeds, and membranes from the habanero pepper. Finely dice the remaining flesh. Remember that habaneros are very hot, so handle with care and wash your hands thoroughly afterward. Adjust the amount of habanero to your desired level of heat.
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, gently fold the softened vanilla ice cream with the diced habanero and the Nerds candy. Be careful not to overmix, as this can melt the ice cream too much.
- Freeze: Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm.
- Serve: Scoop and serve immediately. Be sure to warn anyone trying it about the unexpected heat!
