Ice Cream with Chips: How to Make It
Unusual flavor combinations appeal not only to gourmets but also to regular dessert lovers. One such combination is ice cream with chips, which has recently gone viral on social networks. The recipe is quite easy to replicate, so everyone can enjoy this unusual combination.
Which Flavors to Choose
When it comes to snacks, the internet does not provide specific recommendations. Any available bacon-flavored chips, cheese, greens and onion, and others will work. Usually, the brand is not specified — both regular Lay's and expensive Pringles are used. The ice cream can also be different. Good choices that pair well with salty snacks include:
- cream;
- chocolate;
- pistachio;
- mint;
- fruit.
It’s better to choose a standard variant without many additives. Various nuts, chocolate, or jam can improve the final taste, but they can also make it too bold and confusing.
How to Make Ice Cream with Chips
There are no special rules in this recipe. Chips can be crushed by hand or in a blender beforehand, and then mixed with slightly softened ice cream. The mixture should then be cooled again in the freezer. Another option is to eat the ice cream with the chips instead of a spoon, as is done with nachos and guacamole. For this, it's also necessary to ensure that the ice cream is soft. Another recipe going viral online is ice cream with chips, chocolate, and popcorn. In the original video, everything is prepared from scratch, but one can take shortcuts. Ingredients:
- portion of creamy ice cream;
- 1 cup (about 200 g) potato chips;
- 200 g chocolate, grated;
- 100 g popcorn;
- 3 tablespoons of sunflower or olive oil.
Chocolate needs to be melted. This can be done in a microwave or using a double boiler. When the mixture is liquid, add the oil and stir until smooth. Carefully dip the chips in the mixture — completely or halfway. Then place them on parchment paper and let them harden in the fridge. There are no special requirements for serving. Ice cream is portioned into a bowl, topped with popcorn, which can be bought at MAUDAU, and the chocolate-covered chips. It’s not necessary to mix them beforehand.
Other Unusual Combinations with Chips
These snacks can be used with jam. The sweetest varieties work best — raspberry, apple, or berry. Choose chips at your discretion. Another unusual combination is snacks with condensed milk. This maximum concentration of sweet and salty will be remembered for a long time. Don’t ignore more standard flavors either. For example, chips can be served with ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise. They also pair well with sauces in various salads and appetizers. Always try something new and unusual. Even if it’s not appealing, it will give you the opportunity to discuss this flavor combination with your friends and acquaintances.
