Olive Oil Ice Cream

Ingredients:

1 cup whole milk

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup granulated sugar

5 large egg yolks

1/2 cup California Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Instructions:

Prep ice cream maker and freeze bowl or base overnight.

In a medium sauce pan over medium low heat combine milk, heavy cream, salt, and sugar. Whisk and lightly scald for 4-5 minutes, or until hot (not boiling).

In a large bowl whisk eggs yolks until fluffy. While whisking, pour olive oil in a thin stream into the egg mixture and whisk until blended.

Carefully pour milk into the egg mixture, also in a thin stream while whisking, until blended. Pour mix into a sealable container and let cool in the refrigerator (2-3 hours should do it).

Pour cooled mix into your ice cream maker (following the manufacturer’s instructions) and churn. Once nicely churned, slightly frozen and smooth. Scrape into a flat bottom container, cover and freeze overnight.

Scoop and portion when ready to serve.
