  • Total Time: 5 hours (including steeping and chilling)
  • Yield: Approximately 1 quart 1x
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Description

A unique and refreshing homemade ice cream featuring the soothing floral notes of chamomile infused into a creamy base, swirled with the sweet and tart flavor of blackberries.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries (plus extra for serving)
  • 2 tablespoons dried chamomile flowers
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large egg yolks

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, chamomile flowers, and sugar. Heat over medium until warm, stirring to dissolve sugar.
  2. Remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 30 minutes.
  3. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing flowers lightly.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks until pale.
  5. Gradually whisk some warm cream mixture into egg yolks to temper.
  6. Pour tempered yolks back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and coats a spoon (5-7 minutes).
  7. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and salt. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until completely chilled (at least 4 hours or overnight).
  8. Mash blackberries with a fork, leaving some chunks if desired.
  9. Pour chilled base into an ice cream maker and churn until soft-serve consistency.
  10. In the last few minutes of churning, gently fold in mashed blackberries.
  11. Scoop ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
  12. Serve your Chamomile Blackberry Ice Cream.

Notes
