Gourmet Olive Oil Ice Cream Without An Ice Cream Maker

A while back I came across a caption about olive oil ice cream and it grabbed my attention.  Who would eat that? I decided that I would like to try it just for kicks, until I read an ice cream maker was used.  The more I thought about it ; the more I wanted to make it, so I made a batch using my mixer instead!  Seriously people this stuff rocks!  This instructable will show you how to make it without an ice cream maker. 

Step 1: Ingredients And Utensils

Modified from: http://www.tinyurbankitchen.com/2010/06/olive-oil-ice-cream.html .

• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup half and half
• 4 egg yolks, beaten
• 1/3 cup Bertolli Mild Taste Olive Oil
• 1/4 - 1/2  Cup chopped mixed nuts with sea salt
• Mint sprig garnish 
• Ice optional * this is used for an ice bath to cool the mixture before refrigerating. 

Basic tools are needed such as wooden spoon, whisk, mixing bowls, electric mixer or mix by hand, measuring cups, freezable container with a tight lid and sauce pan.

The original recipe called for extra virgin olive oil.  I could not find a citrus flavor in the extra virgin and decided on the brand I bought because the label mentioned it had a lighter flavor than extra virgin olive oil.  It would be fun to experiment with all the wonderful flavors of the extra virgin olive oils.

Thanks for commenting! I hope you like it as much as we did. It is not overly sweet, that is why we liked it.

Awesome! I've been wanting to try this for a while now. I finally have a recipe. Thanks!

It won't disappoint you! I like this ice cream because it is not as sweet as the store bought. I wished I could buy special olive oil in my area but stores here are very limited on their selection. Thanks for commenting and have a super day.

OMGosh... who knew such a thing existed???

I'll bet orange zest would incorporate very well into this recipe. I'm going to make this and i'll post my results.

It's a cheapie, but I do have an Ice cream maker. ;-)

Yes yes orange would be good. Please do post. You won't be disappointed! Lemon zest also! I will be making more because I have enough to try. The salt in it was the perfect thing! Yum.
