Farmhouse Goat Cheddar Ice Cream Sundaes With Cherry Vanilla Sauce Spiced Walnuts And Thyme Whipped Cream Recipes

GOAT CHEESE ICE CREAM WITH ROASTED RED CHERRIES

Steps:

• Prep
• Mix about 2 tablespoons of the milk with the cornstarch in a small bowl to make a smooth slurry. Whisk the goat cheese, cream cheese, and salt in a medium bowl until smooth. Fill a large bowl with ice and water.
• Cook
• Combine the remaining milk, the cream, sugar, and corn syrup in a 4-quart saucepan, bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, and boil for 4 minutes. Remove from the heat, and gradually whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Bring the mixture back to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring with a rubber spatula, until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
• Chill
• Gradually whisk the hot milk mixture into the cream cheese mixture until smooth. Pour the mixture into a 1-gallon Ziploc freezer bag and submerge the sealed bag in the ice bath. Let stand, adding more ice as necessary, until cold, about 30 minutes.
• Freeze
• Pour the ice cream base into the frozen canister and spin until thick and creamy. Pack the ice cream into a storage container, alternating it with layers of the cherries and ending with a spoonful of cherries; do not mix. Press a sheet of parchment directly against the surface, and seal with an airtight lid. Freeze in the coldest part of your freezer until firm, at least 4 hours.

GOAT'S MILK ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Heat goat milk and vanilla on stovetop until almost boiling; while waiting go to next step.
• Beat egg yolks and sugar for two minutes; until sugar is almost dissolved.
• When the milk mixture starts to come to a boil, take it off the stove and mix in with the egg/sugar mixture.
• Stir well until no sugar crystals remain.
• Put the ice cream mixture in the refrigerator (about 20-30 minutes) to cool it down.
• After it's cooled down a bit, you're ready to make ice cream! Put the mixture into an ice cream maker for 20-30 minutes (I use Cuisinart).
• Enjoy your homemade treat!
