Delicious Olive Oil Ice Cream Recipe - A Unique Dessert

Ingredients

Servings:
10
  • 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3 cup granulated sugar
  • 5 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Prepare the Base

    In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, milk, and sugar over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves.

    Do not let the mixture boil.
  2. Whisk Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are pale and slightly thickened.

    This helps create a creamy texture.
  3. Temper the Yolks

    Slowly add a cup of the warm cream mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly. This tempers the yolks.

    This prevents the eggs from scrambling.
  4. Combine Mixtures

    Pour the tempered yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture.

    Continue to stir until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Add Olive Oil and Chill

    Remove from heat and stir in the olive oil and vanilla extract. Let it cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

    Chilling ensures a smoother texture.
  6. Churn the Ice Cream

    Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

    This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  7. Freeze and Serve

    Transfer the churned ice cream to a container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.

    Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
