From the recipe by Ferran Adrià, Chef of El Bulli
Other people want cake and ice cream for their birthdays: we want Ferrán Adrià’s Parmesan Ice Cream Sandwiches. While El Bulli is 10,000 miles away and impossible to get into in any case, THE NIBBLE’s wine editor, Kris Prasad, is a gifted chef with the patience and technique to make Adrià’s complex recipes. Here is our annual birthday dish: heavenly Parmesan ice cream (savory, not sweet) with a touch of lemon marmalade, between two crunch parmesan tuiles.

To Make the Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 5 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 pound finely grated Parmesan cheese
Preparation
- Place a fine strainer over a medium bowl and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring cream to a simmer. While stirring with a wooden spoon, gradually add Parmesan. Stir constantly until mixture is smooth, about 10 minutes.
- Pour mixture into strainer and press any solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Allow to cool to room temperature.
- Pour mixture into a 9x12" baking dish and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze until solid, about 6 hours.
To Make the Marmalade
Ingredients
Preparation
- Using a sharp knife, cut all peel (including white pith) from lemons. Dice lemons into 1/2" cubes and transfer to a small saucepan. Add sugar and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is thick, about 1 hour. While marmalade is simmering, prepare Parmesan cookies, below.
- Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
To Make the Tuiles
Ingredients
- 5 large egg whites
- 1/2 pound finely grated Parmesan cheese
- Nonstick cooking spray
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine egg whites and grated cheese.
- Spray two 10x15" nonstick baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray. Spread half of the mixture in center of each sheet. Top with a sheet of wax paper and use a rolling pin to press mixture evenly across each pan. Remove and discard wax paper.
- Bake mixture until lightly browned, about 7 minutes. Remove pans from oven and trim dark edges. Cut remaining mixture in each pan in twelve 3" squares to make a total of 24. Using a spatula, turn the squares over and return pan to oven. Bake an additional 5 minutes; remove from oven.
To Assemble and Serve
- Remove the ice cream from the freezer and place on top of a warm, damp cloth for about 5 minutes.
- Using a knife dipped in hot water, cut ice cream into twelve 3" squares.
- Place a square of ice cream on a Parmesan cookie, top with a spoonful of marmalade and top with another Parmesan cookie.
- Serve immediately or freeze until ready to serve. Makes 12 ice cream sandwiches.
NOTE: You can make the ice cream with cheddar instead of Parmesan and serve slices with apple pie or Tarte Tatin. See the recipe for sweet Cheddar ice cream below.
