I totally didn’t even put the pieces together, but that does sound really similar now that you mention it. It’s such a shame- I once had mahlab but didn’t know what to do with it, and am pretty sure it got tossed in a mad cleaning spree. Oh, if only I had done a bit more research!

That’s a completely new ingredient (and word) to me. Thank you for sharing this fascinating nugget of inspiration- I’ll be in Germany again within the next 6 months, so I’ll have to search for it then.

It’s actually used as an (sometimes cheaper more accessible) alternative to marzipan to fill chocolates and pastries or decorate cakes.

A bakers nightmare!

Nevertheless, the ice-cream looks beautiful :)

It’s good to know about the noyaux, though – thanks for sharing your experience. At least you got a gorgeous photo out of it!
