Dark Chocolate Blue Cheese Ice Cream with Honey

Dark Chocolate Blue Cheese Ice Cream with Honey

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 Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 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

  1. Add egg yolks to a large mixing bowl. Whisk until paler in color. Add blue cheese and mix until coated. Set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Return mixture back to stove top. Combine remaining cream and cornstarch and pour into pan. Stir in 5.5 oz of chocolate.
  5. 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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 :)
