Olive Oil Ice Cream image

I'd actually like to try this because I love olive oil (the greener the better!) and I like Ice Cream (like everybody). This is from Kerasma's Fall 2006 issue of Gourmet Greek Traveler. This recipe was created by David Tsirekas, Owner-Chef, Perama, Sydney. Cook time includes chill time.

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 cups heavy cream
1 cup greek extra virgin olive oil

1 1/2 cups sugar

Steps:

  • In a thick, bottomed sauce pan add 3 cups of the cream and cinnamon sticks.
  • Scrape the seeds of the split vanilla bean into the mixture and add the beans.
  • Bring to boil and remove from heat.
  • Set aside to cool for one hour.
  • In an electric mixer at high speed, whip the egg yolks and 1 cup of sugar until the mixture becomes pale and creamy.
  • Strain the cream and discard the cinnamon and vanilla bean.
  • Heat the cream over very low heat.
  • Whisk constantly and slowly add the egg mixture, stirring until the mixture coats the back of a spoon or until it starts to froth.
  • Chill for two hours.
