For a long time I wanted to perfect the walnut ice cream for my harshest critic (my daughter) and finally I succeeded?

Her words were: "Mommy, this is the best walnut ice cream ever ❤️?❤️ and tastes better than anything you can buy...can I please take it with me?"

Of course she was allowed ❤️?❤️

I skinned the walnuts completely for the walnut paste.

This is very time-consuming and I reached my limits, but it was worth it???

Caramelize the water, sugar and chopped walnuts in the pan until golden brown
