For a more intense walnut flavor, toast the chopped black walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant, before adding them to the ice cream mixture. Be sure to let them cool completely before using. If you don't have black walnuts, you can substitute regular walnuts or pecans, but the flavor profile will be slightly different. For a smoother ice cream, consider using an immersion blender to briefly blend the mixture before chilling. Be careful not to over-blend, as this can make the ice cream gummy. Serve with a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon for an added touch of indulgence.
