Goat Cheese Nasturtium Ice Cream
Total time: 4.57 hours
Ingredients
  • 1 cup goat cheese
  • 1 1/2 cup milk
  • 2/3 cup sugar, divided
  • 6 egg yolks
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 1/3 cup nasturtium flowers, finely chopped
Directions
  1. In a large (3-quart) heatproof container, place 1 cup goat cheese and cover with the lid on.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm 1 1/2 cups milk and stir in half the sugar. Simmer until sugar dissolves.
  3. Meanwhile, in a heatproof bowl, whisk 6 egg yolks with the remaining sugar and salt. When the milk has absorbed all the sugar — but before it comes to a boil — begin to temper your eggs by slowly pouring half the warm milk mixture over the yolk mixture while whisking vigorously. Then slowly pour the egg-milk mixture back into the saucepan, whisking vigorously. Heat mixture until it coats the back of a spoon and the temperature reaches 165F on a candy thermometer.
  4. Slowly pour mixture over goat cheese, whisking to fully dissolve and incorporate it. Fold in 1/3 cup chopped flowers and chill mixture for at least 4 hours and up to overnight. Freeze in an ice-cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Let ice cream sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving.
