Title: Licorice Chunk Ice Cream
Categories: Icecream
Yield: 1 Servings
| 1 1 | /2 c | Whipping cream |
| 1 1 | /2 c | Milk |
| 2 | /3 c | Sugar |
| 3 | Egg yolks | |
| 1 t | Vanilla extract | |
| 2 t | b Aniseed | |
| 1 | /2 c | Black licorice whips -- |
| : | chopped |
In a heavy 2-quart saucepan or double boiler over medium-low heat, stir and heat the cream, milk, and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Do not boil. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks lightly. While whisking, pour 1 cup of the hot cream mixture into the bowl, then pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan and place over medium-low heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon (don't let the mixture boil; it could curdle) for about 8 minutes, or until it begins to thicken and coats the spoon. To test for doneness, dip a metal spoon into the mixture and run your finger across the back. The custard is done when your finger leaves a clear, clean trail. A candy thermometer should read 175-180 degrees F. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla. With a mortar and pestle, roughly crush the aniseed, or place the seeds in a plastic bag and bruise them with a hammer. Stir the crushed seeds into the hot ice cream base. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (the longer it is refrigerated, the stronger the flavor will be). Strain the mixture and add the chopped licorice pieces. Pour the mixture into an
ice-cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Source: "The Herb Companion" August/September 1996
