Path To Idea

In September 2024, a trip to Spain introduced me to the rich, nutty flavors of turrón — a beloved almond nougat enjoyed across the country. One sunny afternoon in Madrid, I tasted a scoop of Helado de Turrón that blended sweet almonds, honey, and cream into something inspiring. That moment sparked an idea: recreate the experience with a healthy twist using my Ninja Creami. What began as a travel memory became a creamy tribute to Spain’s culinary charm — and a new favorite in my frozen recipe collection to bring back to my kitchen.
