GINGER ICE CREAM
Steps:
- Combine the water and ginger in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over moderate heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove pot from the heat and reserve. In a bowl beat the egg yolks with the sugar until thick and pale, and wide ribbons fall from whisk. Set aside.
- In a large, heavy saucepan, combine the milk, cream, and cooked ginger, and bring to a boil.
- Slowly add about 1/4 cup of the hot milk mixture to the beaten eggs, whisking as you pour. Immediately scrape the tempered egg mixture into the hot milk mixture, whisking to combine. Cook over moderate heat, whisking slowly, until it reaches custard stage, 180 degrees F. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Don't let the custard boil.
- Immediately pour hot custard through a sieve pressing down on the ginger to extract all the juices. Discard the ginger. Refrigerate until cool or chill over ice water, stirring occasionally.
- Just before freezing, adjust mixture to taste with the lemon juice. Freeze the ice cream in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions and serve.
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.

GINGER ICE CREAM
Fresh ginger root and candied ginger give this silky, custard-based ice cream an intense spice flavor. Don't overlook the clove, which adds a deep, woodsy note. You can make this ice cream up to a week ahead, but after that it will start to develop ice crystals.

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.
CHIVE-GINGER CREPES
Steps:
- In a blender or food processor blend all crêpe ingredients except chives and butter until smooth and transfer to a bowl. Let batter stand at room temperature, covered, 1 hour. Batter may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
- Add chives to batter and stir well. Heat a 6-inch non-stick skillet over moderate heat until hot. Brush skillet lightly with some butter and remove from heat. Half fill a 1/4-cup measure with batter and pour into skillet, tilting and rotating skillet quickly to cover bottom.
- Cook crêpe until underside is golden and top appears almost dry, about 30 seconds. Turn crêpe over with a thin spatula and cook until underside is golden, 15 to 20 seconds more. Slide crêpe onto a kitchen towel and cool. Make more crêpes with remaining batter in same manner, brushing skillet lightly with butter for each crêpe and stacking cooked crêpes on another kitchen towel after they cool. Crêpes may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, stacked between sheets of wax paper and wrapped well in plastic wrap. Bring crêpes to room temperature before using.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Ginger: Select plump, unblemished ginger roots with a smooth, thin skin. Avoid any roots that are wrinkled or have signs of sprouting.
- Proper Storage: Keep ginger in a cool, dark, and dry place. Wrap it loosely in a paper towel or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
- Freshly Grated Ginger: For the best flavor and aroma, use freshly grated ginger whenever possible. Use a Microplane zester or a fine grater to grate the ginger.
- Adjust the Heat: If you prefer milder ginger flavor, remove the white pith before grating. The pith is where most of the heat is concentrated.
- Use Ginger Sparingly: Ginger has a strong flavor, so a little goes a long way. Add it gradually and taste as you go to avoid overpowering the dish.
