Lemon Poppyseed Ice Cream Recipes

LEMON POPPY SEED CAKE

Steps:

• Pour the buttermilk into a 2-cup liquid measuring cup, stir in the poppy seeds, and set aside at room temperature for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Thoroughly spray the inside of a Bundt pan with the baking spray and set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and 2 cups of the granulated sugar on medium speed for about 5 minutes, until light yellow and fluffy. With the mixer on low, add the eggs, one at a time, the vanilla, and lemon zest, scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula.
• Sift the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, and baking soda into a medium bowl. Add 1/4 cup of the lemon juice to the buttermilk mixture. With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the flour mixture and buttermilk mixture in thirds, beginning and ending with the flour. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula to be sure the batter is well mixed. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean.
• Meanwhile, place the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and the remaining 1/2 cup of lemon juice in a small saucepan and cook over high heat until the sugar dissolves. Set aside. When the cake is done, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a baking rack set over a large plate. Spoon the warm lemon syrup slowly over the cake, allowing it to be absorbed into the cake. Set aside for at least 30 minutes to cool.
• For the glaze, whisk the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice together in a small bowl, adding a little more sugar or lemon juice to make a smooth, thick, but pourable glaze. Drizzle over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Transfer to a flat cake plate and serve at room temperature.

LEMON POPPYSEED DRESSING

• Blend sugar, lemon juice, onion, Dijon mustard, and salt in a blender until smooth. Stream canola oil in a thin stream into the mixture while blender is running. Add poppy seeds and pulse blender a few times, just to mix seeds into the dressing.

LEMON POPPYSEED ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine milk, cream, buttermilk and sugar. Heat on low until sides of pan are slightly bubbly and warm, but not boiling. Add 1/4 cup of the milk mixture to the egg yolks and stir quickly, keep adding small amounts of liquid to the eggs until it it the same temperature as what is in the saucepan. Add egg yolk mixture to the saucepan and continue to heat until you can coat the back of a spoon. Do not boil.

BAKED LEMON PUDDING WITH POPPY SEED CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place 8 ramekins in cool water bath halfway up.
• Separate the eggs. Whisk the egg yolks in a large bowl with very soft butter. Add sugar, juice, milk, and the dry ingredients. Either whisk until smooth or use the paddle on an electric mixer.
• Hand whip the egg whites to medium peak. Since there is no sugar in them, it's quite easy to over whip them on the machine.
• With a hand whisk, fold whites into lemon mixture and pour immediately or ladle immediately into ramekins. Bake until lightly golden and semi-firm, about 15 minutes. Cool. Pudding may be served cold or room temperature. Serve topped with the Poppy Seed Cream.
• Bring milk, sugar, and vanilla to a boil in small saucepot. Whisk yolks with cornstarch until smooth in small bowl. Temper hot milk into yolks and return them to the pot, cooking until it begins to "burble", stirring all the while. Remove immediately from pot. Finish with butter and cool.
• Add seeds and zest to pastry cream. Fold in whipped cream. Top puddings with large dollop of poppy cream. The pudding is layered. The top is a fluffy cake like thing with a lemon custard bottom.
