Candy Cap Mushroom Ice Cream
Makes about 3.5 cups. Candy cap mushrooms taste like maple syrup.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 3 cups half and half
- 6 large egg yolks
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1-2 teaspoons ~ 2-4 grams finely ground candy cap mushrooms depending on how much you like candy caps.
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together and allow to sit overnight to infuse with the mushroom flavor.
- Process the ice cream for 45 minutes in the machine, or according to manufacturers directions.
- The ice cream should be smooth and thick, doubled in size, with the consistency of sour cream. If needed, process for 5 minutes more, or until the desired consistency is reached.
- Keep an eyeball on it to make sure the ice cream doesn't get hard on the bottom, which will make it chalky and turn its color dark. When the ice cream is done, transfer it to a container and freeze until needed.
- The ice cream will firm up as it freezes.
