Þristaís

Þristur ice cream

Þristur is an Icelandic chocolate bar with a filling of soft caramel and small pieces of licorice.

I love these soft chocolate bars with their delicious licorice flavor - and I also love using them in the kitchen. For example, I once made a licorice cheese cake with it in the summer.

Ingredients

500 ml H cream

100 g brown sugar

250 g Þristur chocolate bars

250 g milk

1 pinch of ground vanilla or 1 tsp vanilla sugar

300 ml whipping cream

2 Tbsp licorice sprinkles

Preparation

First put the heavy cream with the brown sugar in a pot, bring to the boil and reduce by about half while stirring repeatedly. Then let the mixture cool down.

Thoroughly chop 2/3 of the Þristur chocolate.

Mix the milk with the reduced sugar-cream mixture, the chopped chocolate, the grated chocolate and the ground vanilla or vanilla drops.

Meanwhile, melt the remaining 1/3 of Þristur chocolate with 50 ml of whipping cream in a saucepan. Stir frequently while the sauce thickens.

Now whip the 250 ml of cream until stiff and carefully fold it into the milk-chocolate mixture.

Pour half of the cream-milk-chocolate mixture into a suitable loaf pan and pour half of the sauce over it.

Pour the remaining ice cream mixture over it and pour over the remaining sauce.

Then cover the ice cream with foil or something similar and let it freeze in the freezer overnight.

The next day, let it thaw slightly, portion it out and serve sprinkled with the licorice sprinkles.
