Fennel Ice Cream image

We love this cool vehicle for fennel seed on its own, and we venture it would also boost any other fruit-based dessert as beautifully as it does the pear crisps.

Yield Makes about 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 2/3 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons fennel seeds, crushed
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup sugar, divided
4 large egg yolks
Equipment: an ice cream maker

Steps:

  • Bring cream and fennel seeds just to a simmer in a small heavy saucepan, then cover and let steep about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring milk, 1/2 cup sugar, and a pinch of salt to a simmer in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring.
  • Whisk together yolks and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a large bowl, then add milk mixture in a slow stream, whisking. Return mixture to medium saucepan and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until mixture coats back of spoon and registers 175°F on an instant-read thermometer (do not let boil). Immediately strain custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a metal bowl, then quick-chill by setting bowl in an ice bath and stirring occasionally until cool, about 15 minutes.
  • Strain fennel cream through fine-mesh sieve into custard, pressing on solids. Continue to chill in ice bath until custard is very cold, then freeze in ice cream maker. Transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden, about 1 hour.

I found the fennel flavor to be a bit overpowering. I think I would have preferred it if there was less fennel in the recipe.

This ice cream is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if there was less sugar in the recipe.

This is one of the most unique ice cream flavors I've ever tried. The fennel gives it a slightly licorice-like flavor that's really interesting. I can see myself enjoying this ice cream on a hot summer day.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this ice cream. I'm not a huge fan of fennel, but the flavor was very mild and delicate in the ice cream. It was the perfect balance of sweet and savory.
