Taking Doug's idea from the Hot Luck, I put the chile powder IN the ice cream,
not just sprinkled on top!
I used some hab powder. So a little went a long way. This batch was just for me!
Bluberry Bliss Ice Cream
For sweet cream base:
2 large eggs
3/4 cup organic sugar
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
Blueberries:
1 pint small blueberries
1/2 cup organic sugar
juice of 1/2 lemon
1 recipe sweet cream base
2 slices ginger, minced (skinned first)
1 tsp chile powder, pure
For base: Whisk eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 1-2
minutes. Whisk in sugar, a little at a time, until completely blended, about 1
minute more. Pour in cream and milk and whisk to blend. Refrigerate for 2
hours. Makes 1 quart
For blueberries and ice cream: Toss blueberries, sugar and lemon juice together
in a mixing bowl. Add the ginger and the chile powder and mix well. Cover and
refrigerate for 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes.
Prepare sweet cream base. Drain the juice from the blueberries into the cream
base and blend. Mash the blueberries until pureed and stir into the cream base.
Transfer mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following manufacturers'
instructions (for my Cuisinart machine it took 20 minutes.)
Risa's notes:
I used organic sugar, the original didn't call for that.
Original called for lemon juice, I used lime as that is what I had.
I made half the recipe as I didn't have enough cream and milk for the whole
recipe.
Yield: Makes 1 generous quart.
