Basil Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 3.2% Milk 15 fl oz
- 10% cream 5 fl oz
- Sugar 5 oz
- Salt a pinch
- Corn Starch 3 teaspoons
- Semi-soft cream cheese 0 oz
- Fresh basil leaves 1 bunch
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Place the pre-washed and dried basil leaves and 100 ml of milk in a food processor and blend for a couple of minutes until the basil colors the milk. Transfer the mixture to a saucepan, set over medium heat, bring to a boil, remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes. After that, strain the mixture and return it to the saucepan.
Step 2
Dissolve the cornstarch in 50 ml of clean milk and set aside.
Step 3
In the saucepan, combine the strained 'green' milk, clean milk, cream, salt, and sugar, mix well, set over medium heat, and bring to almost a boil. Add the cornstarch milk and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove from heat, add the cream cheese, and mix until smooth. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate overnight.
Step 4
Pour the ice cream mixture into the ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 5
If you don't have an ice cream maker, immediately pour the mixture into an ice cream container, place it in the freezer, and stir the contents every 20–30 minutes until set.
