Best Goat Cheese Ice Cream With Fennel Lemon And Honey Recipes
GOAT CHEESE ICE CREAM
The first time I ever saw fresh goat cheese was when we started serving it on salads at Chez Panisse. This being Berkeley, most of the customers thought it was tofu. Nowadays goat cheese has become far more familiar. Especially in Berkeley. Adding goat cheese to ice cream gives it the surprising taste of a blue-ribbon cheesecake. Use a moist, fresh goat cheese for best results.

Steps:
- Warm the milk and sugar in a medium saucepan. While the milk is warming, crumble the goat cheese into a large bowl and set a mesh strainer on top.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, then scrape the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan.
- Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat with a heatproof spatula, scraping the bottom as you stir, until the mixture thickens and coats the spatula. Pour the custard through the strainer and stir it into the goat cheese. Keep stirring until the cheese is melted, then stir until cool over an ice bath.
- Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator, then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Mix the cheese course and dessert by serving Goat Cheese Ice Cream with Honey and Walnuts. Toast some very delicious walnut halves (see page 13) and let cool. To serve, drizzle a scoop of Goat Cheese Ice Cream with strongly flavored honey (I like chestnut or lavender honey). Scatter the toasted walnut halves over the top.
GOAT CHEESE ICE CREAM WITH FENNEL, LEMON AND HONEY
Very popular a few years ago, goat cheese ice cream deserves bringing back to the fore. The goat cheese supplies a tang similar to the flavor of cheesecake. Layer the honey into the ice cream mixture after it has churned. Blueberries make a nice accompaniment. For peace of mind, make the ice cream one day before serving.

Steps:
- Put the milk, sugar, lemon zest, fennel seeds and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to just under a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching, then turn heat to low.
- Place egg yolks in a small bowl. Slowly whisk 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the yolks to temper them. (This keeps the yolks from curdling.) Whisk yolk mixture back into the remaining milk in the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, 5 to 8 minutes. Turn off heat and whisk in the goat cheese.
- Pour ice cream mixture into a bowl and set in an ice bath until completely cool, about 30 minutes. Alternatively, cool mixture in the refrigerator for several hours.
- Churn mixture in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions, usually about 30 minutes. At this point, the ice cream will still be somewhat soft. Transfer about 1/2 cup at a time to a storage container, drizzling a little honey over each addition.
- Cover container and freeze for at least 4 hours, until firm, before serving. (Freezing the ice cream overnight is recommended.) Serve in bowls with blueberries, if using.
