Rosemary Balsamic Parmigiano Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon rosemary stems removed, leaves finely minced
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- Ice Cream Base
- ¼ cup premade balsamic glaze such as the one sold by Roland
- ¼ cup Parmigiano Reggiano slivers finely microplaned
Instructions
- Combine sugar, rosemary, and salt in a food processor. Finely mince, and then refrigerate.
- Prepare Ice Cream Base. After mixture has cooled to room temperature, add chilled rosemary mixture, and stir to combine.
- Place in refrigerator to chill, at least 8 hours.
- After ice cream mixture has chilled, remove from refrigerator and pour into an ice cream maker. Spin according to manufacturer's instructions.
- When the ice cream is finished, gently stir in balsamic glaze and Parmigiano Reggiano as you scoop it into storage container(s).
- Store in the freezer for at least 2 hours (and preferably overnight) before serving. Alternatively, you may use a home camping-style or foam cooler to freeze ice cream. Place ice cream inside, and top with a block of dry ice followed by a sheet of cardboard. The dry ice mimics the action of a hardening cabinet, an essential part of the ice cream manufacturing process. When the ice cream is rock-hard, transfer it to your home freezer. It will actually rise to proper serving temperature in the freezer.
