My love for it may surpass my love for Don Draper. (This is going to be Mr. E's most favorite post ever.)

I always, always have one of these bars in my "chocolate basket" (you have one, don't you?), just waiting there for me to break off a few squares. (A minimum of 4 squares, and up to 8. Per sitting. Sittings may occur every 30 seconds.)

I decided to add them to ice cream.

If you love these Ritter Sports, or almond, or chocolate, or ice cream...I BEG you to make this. It tastes like a cold, creamy Ritter Sport with Marzipan.
This ice cream is seriously one of my favorite recipes I've featured on the blog. LOVE. IT.

Ritter Sport Dark Chocolate with Marzipan Ice Cream
for the ice cream:
5 egg yolks
7 ounces almond paste (not marzipan)
2/3 cup sugar, divided
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
20 squares (1 & 1/4 bars) Ritter Sport Dark Chocolate with Marzipan
1/3 cup fudge ripple
for the fudge ripple:
1/2 cup + 2 TBSP sugar
1/2 cup water
6 TBSP dutch-process cocoa
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1 ounce bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
(fudge ripple recipe from Sweet Cream & Sugar Cones)
make the cream base:

Beat egg yolks, 1/3 cup sugar, and almond paste together until smooth, about 2 minutes.

Scoop 1/2 cup of the cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture and whisk until combined. Repeat with one more 1/2 cup scoop of the cream.
Stir the cream in the pan while slowly pouring in the egg yolk mixture. Stir and heat for 1-4 more minutes, until the mixture has thickened, coats the back of a spoon, and holds a clear path when a finger is run across it.

{You'll test this while it's in the pan, but I'm showing you here just so you know what you look for.}


make the fudge ripple:
Combine the sugar, water, cocoa, corn syrup and salt in a saucepan. Whisk over medium-high heat until the mixture comes to a simmer.
Remove from the heat and add in the chopped chocolate. Let sit for 1 minute. Whisk the chocolate until smooth, then stir in the vanilla. Let cool, then place in a container, cover and chill before using.

make the ice cream:
The next day, coarsely chop the Ritter Sport bars. Place chopped bars and container for storing the ice cream in the freezer while you process the chilled cream in your ice cream freezer.
(This is the one I have.)
Add in the chopped Ritter Sport during the last minute of churning. Scoop the finished, soft ice cream into the chilled storage container, drizzling in the fudge ripple. Press a piece of plastic wrap on top. Freeze for several hours until firm.

Scoop, sigh, donate bathing suit to Goodwill.

What?! I have never had a Ritter chocolate anything.. and I was fairly certain that I knew and had tested ALL the candy.
ReplyDeleteOh, sorry I have to run now and remedy this situation.
You are basically the cutest thing ever. LOVE Ritter Sport!! A good deal of my childhood was spent living in Germany, so I'm a German chocolate connoisseur ;) I need this ice cream ASAP.
ReplyDeleteAnd a chocolate basket. WHAT?!? I've been living life all wrong.
Okay - where do you find those Ritter bars with the marzipan??? I've seen other flavors which I love but I don't think I've ever seen this kind. The ice cream looks so good!
ReplyDeleteOur grocery store (HEB) carries it. I think I've also seen it at World Market. :)
DeleteI have seen these candy bars at the local bodega, but I've never had one, now I'm intrigued! I love the idea of almond ice cream with fudge and candy inside. I can't wait to try!
ReplyDeleteHOLY CRAP, WHAT??? This looks totally amazing! I think it might be my first ice cream of the season.
ReplyDeleteOh how i want this ice cream! Need this ice cream!! WOW! I mean come on, do ice cream get any better? NO! So yummy looking!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh this looks amazing!! I'm rate their with you for Grimaldi's! my personal fav is the pesto! love their pizza! :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks so creamy and good.... Delicious!
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing!!!! You have convinced me to go and buy a ritter sport, just to try it! Or can I just join your for one of your bi-minutely ritter sittings?
ReplyDeleteCan you bring some of this ice cream? kthnxbai.
that's a original ice cream ;)
ReplyDeletekiss!
Oh wow this ice cream looks totally delicious and creamy and soft and full of those delicious looking chocolate coated cookies :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing!! I LOVE Ritter flavours, I recently came back from Berlin and had to bring a lot of these bars back! Will give this a go!

Almond paste is one of my all-time favorite ingredients and I have never heard of putting it in ice cream. The flavor must be intense - yum! Would love to try this Ritter Sport flavor too...never had it and I bet it's fantastic. I have done fudge ripple and love that - I think it's time to really rev up the ice cream making! : )
ReplyDeleteIce cream base made with almond paste?! Are you kidding?? That's genius. Adding a fudge ripple: perfection! I guess I'll have to have my first Ritter Sport bar when making this ice cream. Adding this to our weekly homemade ice cream menu planning asap!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing!!! You had to go and introduce me to yet another kind of chocolate candy, didn't you?! Can't wait to try!!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThis is just beyond amazing! Love that candy bar and LOVE your ice cream!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are killing me this week:)
ReplyDeleteIt's totally cold over here, but I'd definitely have this one. And your pictures make it even more delicious.
ReplyDeleteOh lordy. I'm in trouble now.
ReplyDeleteMy husband adores this candy! Thanks for sharing this recipe... I'll have to make it for him. He'll be so grateful you created it.
ReplyDeleteI grew up eating these at my grandparents' house. My grandfather always bought them for us kids. I miss him so much. Thanks for the memories.
ReplyDeleteYUM - this looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteIf this bar is threatening to overtake your love for Don Draper then I think after making this ice cream he's but a faded memory by now. Looks wonderful Bridget.
ReplyDeleteIce cream is my weakness. This looks just too wonderful. I'm dying over here. AMAZING.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing, there are no other words! I just got an ice cream maker and this might just be the first batch of ice cream i make!
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny; my husband's favorite chocolate bar is the Ritter Sport Dark Choc.with Hazelnuts! He used to bring them home from European business trips. I stock up whenever I see a sale. I don't see the marzipan variety too often, but I can always find Ritter bars at TARGET, TRADER JOES, and SHOPRITE(NJ),and CVS. I try not to spend more that $1.99 a bar; some retailers mark them up A LOT. The cheapest I've ever found them is when SHOPRITE puts them on sale for $1.49; then I stock up on the plain dark choc. ones for baking, too!
ReplyDeleteThe ice cream sounds AMAZING! I will get the ice cream machine out of the basement immediately......lol!
You are destroying my willpower you temptress. Sigh. I vote we make this if we get together this summer.
ReplyDelete♥♥♥
Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! This is my all-time favorite candy bar. I can't keep it around, because I can't limit myself to 2 or 4 or 8 squares. When I buy them, I secretly eat the whole thing on the 1/4-mile drive from Target to my house and then hide the wrapper in shame.
ReplyDeleteI'm sooooooo going to make this.
This sounds absolutely epic. I love marzipan- it is the bee's knees!!!
ReplyDeleteThe part about sittings occuring every 30 seconds made me snort laugh. xx
Howdy, i read your blog from time to time and i own a

This is my favorite candy bar too! I can't stop eating it once I start so I rarely buy them. This ice cream looks amazing...I may be making this for myself for Mother's Day. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteDebbie--I think you need to start walking to that Target, haha.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe another person's favorite Ritter is Marzipan... I thought I was weird! It is by FAR my favorite.
I don't have an ice cream maker but I may need to get one just for this. Love Ritter Sport too.

oh, sister. you are good. i honestly have a whole bar waiting in my "chocolate basket" at the moment. the only thing keeping me from making this right now is my unfriendly relationship with dairy. guess i'll go eat 4 squares to compensate.
ReplyDeleteSadly, I am not a marzipan fan. But your recipe looks absolutely delicious! If I were a fan, I think I would give these a try!

Oh my gosh this looks so good! Great recipe!!
ReplyDeleteDark chocolate health benefits are abundantly more than the average food. You might even say that dark chocolate is a super food. With raw, unprocessed Cocoa being the most antioxidant rich food on the planet.
ReplyDeleteI made this today (and as I said above, the day you posted this, it was indeed my first ice cream of the season). It's just as incredible as I imagined! I left out the fudge ripple, because I've never been big on fudge, but used 2 whole Ritter bars. It's an especially wonderful treat since I'm on a new diet (medical, not weight-loss) that forbids chocolate and nuts. I decided to cheat for the first time to have some of this ice cream, and let me tell you, it was SO WORTH IT. :)
ReplyDeleteNice Recipe..stuff is looking fantastic & yummy!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to make exactly this ice cream! After visiting the Ben & Jerry's factory last Monday I had to think about it again and googled "Ritter Sport marzipan ice cream" just for fun and ended up here! Really have to try this now.
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing! I can almost smell them. Thanks for share!

My Aunt and Uncle were stationed in Germany for several years. Every Christmas we waited in anticipation for the box that would arrive from them. Inside we knew that a beautiful porcelain teapot would be filled with little Ritter Sport chocolates! Good stuff!!
