Ingredients for 5dl ice cream:

125 ml cream

180 ml whole milk

50 g sugar

2 egg yolks

1 egg

pinch of salt

the zest of a 1/4 lemon

half a vanilla pod

75 g cottage cheese

For the crumbs:

50 g butter

50 g sugar

50 g all-purpose flour

50 g almond flour

For the apricot jam:

1 kg ripe apricots peeled and pitted

15 dkg cane sugar

1 tbsp apple pectin or apple extract

Instructions:

To make the crumbs, work together the ingredients in a bowl and then lay and then spread them on a baking sheet. Bake them for 8-9 minutes in a 170°C (338°F) oven until lightly toasted. Let them cool down.
Beat the eggs and the yolks with the sugar and slowly add the lightly warmed-up milk-cream mixture. Simmer and stir the mixture continuously until it becomes thick. Place the mixture in a separate bowl and place it in cold water. Add the cottage cheese, the lemon zest, a pinch of salt and the vanilla. Churn the mixture in an ice cream machine according to manufacturers’ instructions. If you like, you can add raisins soaked in sugar syrup.
For the apricot jam, we wash, peel and pit the fruits. We add the sugar and the apple pectin or extract, heat them up and let them boil for a couple of minutes. We put the mixture in a blender and purée it. We can store the jam in jars up to two weeks in the fridge.
To serve the Rákóczi cottage cheese ice cream, we sprinkle some crumbs at the bottom of the ice cream bowl. Add a scoop of ice cream and top it with the apricot jam.

We combine the two mixtures, add the cottage cheese and place it in the fridge for an hour.
Fill the cylinder of the ice cream maker no more than two-thirds full; freeze according to manufacturer’s directions.
To make the cream cold foam, we beat the icing sugar and the whipped cream stabiliser with a hand mixer in order to get a nice smooth cream. We place it in the fridge.

“For the crumb: ” So you only get one crumb? Singular, a crumb. Or does this make more than one, so one has ‘crumbs’? Or perhaps you mean ‘Crumble’ as in the classic dessert called Apple Crumble? One crumb seems rather bizarre to say the least!

Also, a “vanilla bean” is usually called a vanilla pod by cooks, chefs and supermarkets except occasionally in places that don’t know better. Read and learn: “What we call a vanilla “bean” is actually the pod-shape fruit that grows on a climbing orchid of the genus Vanilla, which includes around 100 species native to tropical Central and northern Southern America. Vanilla orchids are pollinated by hummingbirds and tiny bees only found in vanilla’s native habitat. When grown outside their range, the orchids are painstakingly hand-pollinated by humans, which is part of the reason why vanilla is one of the most expensive flavorings available (topped only by saffron).

The pods themselves are 6 to 12 inches long and contain thousands of tiny seeds that stick to the pod walls. Vanilla flavor, which comes mainly from vanillin (and about 200 other flavor compounds) is bonded to a sugar molecule and only releases its aromas when the pod is damaged. Vanilla flavor comes from both the sticky resin surrounding the seeds and the pod wall.”
