And this olive oil ice cream recipe is proof that the coveted oil is delicious in desserts too. Added to a simple custard base, olive oil gives this ice cream a rich texture, gentle fruity notes and the slightest hint of pepper.<\/p>\n<p>Though the exact origins of olive oil ice cream are unknown, Mediterranean countries have a long tradition of pairing the oil with desserts. Olive oil is used in place of butter in sweets like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/melomakarona\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/melomakarona\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">melomakarona<\/a>\u00a0and moist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/citrus-cornmeal-cake\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/citrus-cornmeal-cake\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">citrus cakes<\/a>. The most flavorful oil varieties are even drizzled as a topping over gelato and sliced fresh fruit.<\/p>\n<p>With ingredients like heavy cream, sugar and olive oil, it should come as no surprise that this is a decadent dish\u2014and one of our favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/homemade-ice-cream-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/homemade-ice-cream-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">homemade ice creams<\/a>. A sprinkle of flaky sea salt (like Maldon) over the top helps cut the richness and creates an addictive sweet-salty crunch.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Olive Oil Ice Cream<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Extra virgin olive oil:<\/strong> Our olive oil ice cream recipe uses extra virgin rather than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/olive-oil-vs-extra-virgin-olive-oil\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/olive-oil-vs-extra-virgin-olive-oil\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">regular olive oil<\/a> because EVOO has a more distinct, fruity flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Whipping cream:<\/strong> The high fat content of whipping cream gives the finished ice cream its creamy texture. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/heavy-cream-vs-whipping-cream\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/heavy-cream-vs-whipping-cream\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Heavy cream<\/a> can also be used here.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Whole milk:<\/strong> This ingredient is part of the custard base. Stick to whole milk\u2014the custard will be less creamy if a lower-fat variety is used.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> The sweetness in our olive oil ice cream recipe comes from granulated sugar, which is dissolved into the cream and milk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Egg yolks:<\/strong> To make the custard base, egg yolks are added to the hot cream and milk. The yolks give the custard flavor, richness and a golden color. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-separate-egg-whites-from-yolks\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-separate-egg-whites-from-yolks\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Separate eggs<\/a> with a separator tool or the cracked eggshells.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt:<\/strong> No fancy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-salt\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-salt\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">types of salt<\/a> are necessary for this ice cream; just a pinch of kosher salt will do. The large granules will enhance the other flavors, making them brighter and more delectable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Optional flavorings:<\/strong> You can allow olive oil to be the primary flavor of the ice cream, or complement the oil with your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-vanilla-extract\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-vanilla-extract\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">best vanilla extract<\/a> or fresh lemon zest.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Begin the custard base<\/h3>\n<p>Pour the cream, milk, sugar and salt into a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Have the egg yolks ready in a small bowl near the stove. Set the saucepan over medium heat and stir to dissolve the sugar. Cook the mixture until bubbles form around the inside of the pan.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip:<\/em> <em>Mis en place<\/em> is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/secrets-chefs-wont-tell-you\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/secrets-chefs-wont-tell-you\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">chef&#8217;s secret<\/a> that&#8217;ll be a big help with this recipe\u2014it means having everything ready before you begin. Read the recipe and measure out the ingredients; also, fill a pan with ice water and get out a whisk and digital thermometer. If your ice cream maker has a freezer bowl, follow the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions to freeze it.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Add the egg yolks<\/h3>\n<p>Whisk a small amount of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks and then pour them into the saucepan, whisking constantly as you do. Reduce the heat to low; stir the mixture continuously as it simmers (do not let it boil) until the custard is just thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon\u2014the temperature of the mixture should be 180\u00b0F.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Cool it down<\/h3>\n<p>Immediately transfer the custard to a medium bowl; set this bowl in a pan of ice water. Stir the custard occasionally for two minutes to cool it down. If you&#8217;re using the vanilla extract or lemon zest, add these now. Press a piece of waxed paper to the surface of the custard, and place the bowl in the fridge for several hours or overnight.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Make the ice cream<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2048982\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Olive-Oil-Ice-Cream_FT24_277300_EC_0910_3.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"3\/4th shot of olive oil ice cream drizzled with olive oil\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Ellie Crowley for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Whisk the olive oil into the chilled custard base, then pour the mixture into the bowl of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-ice-cream-makers\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-ice-cream-makers\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ice cream maker<\/a> to two-thirds full. Follow the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions to freeze the ice cream. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container, and place it in the freezer for four to six hours until it&#8217;s firm.

Serve dishes of ice cream with raspberries, sliced peaches, plums or strawberries. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-hull-a-strawberry-super-fast\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-hull-a-strawberry-super-fast\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hull fresh strawberries<\/a> with a knife or drinking straw.)

To really celebrate the unique flavor, serve a scoop of this ice cream with a slice of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/olive-oil-cake\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/olive-oil-cake\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">olive oil cake<\/a>, and garnish it with fresh fruit and whipped cream.<\/p>\n<h3>Which olive oil should I use to make olive oil ice cream?<\/h3>\n<p>Our olive oil ice cream recipe is made with extra virgin olive oil, which has more flavor and color than regular olive oil. Depending on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/types-of-olives\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/types-of-olives\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">types of olives<\/a> used and the growing region, the flavor of extra virgin olive oil can range from floral and grassy to stronger and more peppery. Use our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-olive-oil-brands\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-olive-oil-brands\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">olive oil brands<\/a> to find the best options from domestic or international producers. You can use the variety you normally add to recipes, or experiment with other types to find the one you like best for your ice cream.<\/p>\n<h3>How can I tell if my olive oil is rancid?<\/h3>\n<p>Since olive oil is the star ingredient and flavor in this ice cream, it&#8217;s important to know if your oil is still good to use. Factors like heat and light can make olive oil turn rancid, so the best way to check is by the smell. Good olive oil will have a clean, bright, pleasant aroma with grassy or fruity notes. If your oil smells off or has an odor of crayons, paint or rancid nuts, it should be discarded.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A darling of fine dining restaurants, olive oil ice cream can easily be made at home in your ice cream maker.
