Olive Oil Pistachio Ice Cream

The most important aspect of making really delicious olive oil ice cream is to use a fantastically good olive oil. I buy The Governor High Phenolic Olive Oil from Corfu. I added Aegina pistachios (fistiki) for which the island is famous, but you can just keep it plain.

Ingredients

Smooth warm mixture into pan.

Method
Heat milk, cream, sugar, honey and salt in a medium sized thick bottomed saucepan over a low heat until mixture becomes hot but not boiling. Remove from heat and gradually drizzle the milk mixture into the bowl with the whisked egg yolks, whisking constantly. Pour mixture back into saucepan, still whisking. Place pan back on stove top and cook over low heat setting until mixture has thickened , about 5- 10 minutes. Remove from heat and slowly whisk in olive oil and vanilla extract. If using pistachios, stir them in now. Cool at room temperature and then if you have an ice cream maker follow Instructions. All well and good, but I haven’t got an ice cream maker in my Aegina kitchen, so I put the ice cream in the freezer stirring every half hour until the mixture began to freeze up.

Allow to freeze for about 4 hours before serving.

The ice cream stayed soft and creamy even when frozen. It must have been the richness of the olive oil. Also The Governor High Phenolic Olive Oil has the signature pepperiness in the back of the throat due to the phenolic compound oleocanthal. This can lend an interesting element of sweet and piquant to the ice cream.

Enjoy!
