Celebrating the launch of our very own Cubitt House Extra Extra Virgin Olive Oil we have Ben Tish’s recipe for Olive Oil ice cream using only the best, our Olive Oil. Pop in and grab a bottle and try for yourself!
250ml whole milk
250ml double cream 6 free-range organic large egg yolks
180g caster sugar
55ml Cubitt House extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to serve
1 tsp Maldon salt, plus extra to serve
Gently warm the milk and cream in a saucepan without letting it boil; it should be 85°C when tested with a thermometer.
Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a large mixing bowl to a thick white paste.
Gradually pour the cream mixture over the egg yolks in a steady stream, whisking
continuously. Pour the mixture back into the pan and heat to 78°C – again a thermometer
is essential here. Don’t stop mixing until the custard is cooked.
Pass the custard through a fine sieve and allow to cool.
Combine the ice cream base with the olive oil and salt, then churn in your ice-cream
machine.
Serve with ripe peaches or apricots
