Clotted Cream Ginger Ice Cream Recipes

GINGER ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a medium pot, combine cream, milk, sugar, ginger, cinnamon, clove and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then cover, remove from heat, and let steep for 1 hour.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the yolks. Whisking constantly, slowly whisk about a third of the cream into the yolks, then whisk yolk mixture back into the pot with the cream. Return pot to medium-low heat and gently cook until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer).
• Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Cool mixture to room temperature. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or overnight. Churn in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions, adding the candied ginger during the last few seconds of churning. Serve directly from the machine for soft serve, or store in freezer until needed. Serve topped with extra candied ginger if desired.

CLOTTED CREAM ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks.
• Meanwhile, pour milk, sweetened condensedmilk (or other sweetener), salt and vanilla extract into a medium sized mixing bowl. Stir well.
• Add clotted cream and stir until well combined.
• Once the heavy cream has reached the stiff peaks stage, carefully fold a scoop of cream into the milk. Then fold the rest of the whipped cream into the milk until combined (but don't totally deflate the whipped cream).
• Pour ice cream into an ice cream container, cover tightly, and add freeze for at least 4 hours.
• When you're ready to serve the ice cream, let it stand for a few minutes before scooping. Caution: once scooped the ice creamwill melt quickly!

CLOTTED CREAM & GINGER ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Fold the custard, clotted cream and ginger syrup together in a bowl until completely combined. Pour this into an ice-cream machine and churn according to machine instructions. (If you don't have an ice-cream machine, put the bowl in the freezer for about 11⁄2 hrs, or until the mixture starts to freeze around the edges. Give it a good stir to break it all up, then repeat.)
• When the ice cream is completely churned, mix in the chopped ginger so it speckles the ice cream, then serve in scoops with the Roasted rhubarb.

GINGER ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan combine the cream, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, vanilla extract and ginger. Bring to a boil, turn off the heat and let sit for 1 hour.
• In a small bowl, combine the eggs and the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and beat to a homogeneous consistency.
• Bring the cream-ginger mixture back to a boil and turn the heat off. Immediately strain and whisk a third of the cream mixture into the egg-sugar mixture and then immediately whisk the egg mixture back into the remaining cream mixture.
• Chill the mixture over an ice water bath.
• Churn the chilled mixture in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's directions.
• Serve as is, or to make ice cream sandwiches, place 1 generous scoop of ice cream on the bottom of 1 Molasses Cookie and place another cookie on top. These can be done ahead and frozen. Let warm for 5 to10 minutes before serving.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt and set aside.
• In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and then the molasses. In thirds, gently mix in the flour mixture until just combined.
• Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out the cookie dough into 1-inch balls onto a sheet tray covered with turbinado sugar. Gently toss the cookies in the sugar, covering them completely. Place the sugar-coated dough balls on another sheet tray and gently squish a little.
• Bake for 9 to 10 minutes. Remove the cookies to a rack to cool.

CLOTTED CREAM & STEM GINGER ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Put the milk and clotted cream into a non-stick pan. Scrape out the seeds from the vanilla pod, add pod and seeds to the milk and cream, and bring almost to the boil. Set aside for 20 mins.
• Cream the egg yolks and sugar together in a bowl. Bring the milk and cream back to the boil, remove the vanilla pod, then pour the mixture onto the egg yolks, stirring all the time.
• Strain the mixture back into the cleaned-out pan and cook over a gentle heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened and lightly coats the back of a wooden spoon. Do not let the mixture boil or it will curdle. Pour back into the bowl and leave to cool, then cover and chill overnight. The next day, churn in an ice-cream maker, stirring the stem ginger and syrup into the mixture just before freezing. If you do not have an ice cream machine, you can pour the mixture into a shallow container, cover and freeze until firm but not rock hard, then whizz in a food processor until smooth. Re-freeze and repeat the process 2-3 times more. Store in the freezer until needed.

CLOTTED CREAM

Steps:

• Set a coffee filter basket, lined with a filter, in a strainer, over a bowl. Pour the cream almost to the top of the filter. Refrigerate for 2 hours. The whey will sink to the bottom passing through the filter leaving a ring of clotted cream. Scrape this down with a rubber spatula and repeat every couple of hours until the mass reaches the consistency of soft cream cheese.

NO-CHURN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Put the condensed milk, cream and vanilla into a large bowl. Beat with an electric whisk until thick and quite stiff, a bit like clotted cream. Scrape into a freezer container or a large loaf tin, cover with cling film and freeze until solid.

GINGER ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a large bowl lightly whisk yolks. In a 3-quart heavy saucepan cook sugar, fresh gingerroot, and water over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Add half-and-half and bring to a simmer. Add hot half-and-half mixture to yolks in a slow stream, whisking, and pour into pan. Cook custard over moderately low heat, stirring constantly, until a thermometer registers 170°F. (Do not let boil.)
• Pour custard through a sieve into cleaned bowl and stir in cream and vanilla. Cool custard. Chill custard, its surface covered with plastic wrap, until cold, at least 3 hours, and up to 1 day.
• Finely chop crystallized ginger. Freeze custard in an ice-cream maker, adding crystallized ginger three fourths of way through freezing process. Transfer ice cream to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden. Ice cream may be made 1 week ahead.
