Delicious Olive Oil Ice Cream Recipe - A Unique Dessert

1. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
