A rich and decadent ice cream that has the perfect balance of cheese and chocolate! The amount of chocolate used is all up to you!
Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time30 minutes
Ingredients
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup milk
1/2 cup high-quality liquid honey + more for topping
4 oz That Dutchman's Cheese Farm's Dragon's Breath Blue, crumbled
5 egg yolks
1 tbsp. cornstarch
Pinch of salt (remember, cheese is salty!)
6.8 oz (195 g) high-quality dark chocolate (I used a blend of 100% cocoa and 70% cocoa), roughly chopped + more for topping
Instructions
Add egg yolks to a large mixing bowl. Whisk until paler in color. Add blue cheese and mix until coated. Set aside.
Place a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Stir in 1 cup cream, milk, salt, and honey. Whisk occasionally until mixture is hot but not boiling.
Slowly and carefully whisk cream-mixture into egg-cheese bowl, making sure to take your time so you don't scramble the eggs. Whisk until smooth. *Pour through fine sieve if needed.
Return mixture back to stove top. Combine remaining cream and cornstarch and pour into pan. Stir in 5.5 oz of chocolate.
Whisk occasionally until reheated, but do no allow to boil. Remove from heat and allow to come to room temperature (stirring occasionally.) Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Churning
Follow the directions on your ice cream machine. I churn my mixture until it is almost set, and stir in the remaining chopped chocolate (1-2 oz) in the last 5 minutes of the cycle.
Pour into container, top with additional honey and chocolate if desired, and freeze!
Notes
Before serving ice cream, allow it to sit out for 10 minutes or so to soften enough to scoop :)
