Description

Elderflower ice cream is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for hot summer days. This easy recipe is quick to make and requires only a few ingredients. The elderflower gives the ice cream a unique floral taste that is both sweet and delicate.

Prep Time

10 minutes

Cook Time

10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup elderflower cordial
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 egg yolks

Equipment

  • Ice cream maker
  • Saucepan
  • Bowl
  • Whisk

Method

  1. Heat the cream, milk, sugar, elderflower cordial, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks together.
  3. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the bowl with the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
  4. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and let it cool to room temperature.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
  7. Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  8. Transfer the ice cream to a container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute the elderflower cordial with elderflower syrup or fresh elderflowers.
  • If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture in a shallow container, stirring every 30 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.
