Parmesan Ice Cream for the Creamiest Risotto

Seafood smoked to intoxicating aromaticity, the carnaroli rice toasted to transparency, carefully poured with a strong stock, patiently whisked with butter and parmesan to irresistible creaminess. The ladle scoops this creamy miracle onto a heated plate, and with two measured strokes from the bottom of the strict but righteous chef, the risotto is arranged in the form of a perfect disc. Just a scoop of ice cream and you are ready to completely indulge in the delicious and fragrant Mediterranean fall.

But wait—just wait a minute! Ice cream?!

That’s right.

Absurdly Creamy
Don’t worry, we’re not crazy, nor did we have our old cookbook pages stuck. We don’t make our ice cream from chocolate, vanilla, or—although it sounds intriguing—pistachio. For the miraculous risotto al dimi, our always adventurous chef has devised his own variant of ice cream—or, rather, salt cream—from Parmesan, which bursts with flavor, seduces with texture, and emphasizes the creaminess of the risotto almost to the point of absurdity.

Flavor Bomb
We won’t delve into specifics because every chef has his own little secrets, as does ours, so we will only share with you roughly how this ice cream bombshell is created. The ripe and aromatic Parmigiano Reggiano is finely grated and thoroughly mixed into the whipping cream, and the mixture is slowly heated in the bain-marie until the cheese is completely melted. When the cream connects and becomes thick and silky smooth, our chef refines it with a secret combination of spices and freezes it until use, carefully centering it then on your risotto with an ice cream spoon.

Fall Food Magic
The outcome is a truly creamy perfection that defies belief. The nutty characteristics for which Parmigiano Reggiano is known are completely released in this aggregate state, giving the sophisticatedly smoky sea notes of risotto an entirely new dimension. The hot risotto instantly comes to a temperature suitable for bringing to the mouth without the need for impatient blowing into the fork, and the creaminess resulting from mixing the hot and icy components is simply unsurpassed. The best of summer blends with the best of winter and creates a true gastronomic fall magic on your plate.
