Homemade Gingerbread Ice Cream
Description
This Gingerbread Ice Cream brings together dairy ingredients—heavy cream and milk—with a spice mix including ground ginger, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and freshly grated nutmeg, enhanced by molasses for that distinct gingerbread sweetness and depth. The ingredients are whisked until fully combined, then churned in an ice cream maker to incorporate air and freeze the mixture into a creamy soft ice cream.
The molasses adds a dark, caramel-like sweetness and moistness that pairs well with the warm, aromatic spice blend. The ice cream texture is smooth and velvety, a refreshing contrast to the spices reminiscent of gingerbread cookies but in a cold dessert form.
This ice cream can be served on its own or alongside fruit, pies, or warm desserts for a festive touch. After churning, the ice cream should be frozen for several hours to firm up properly before serving.
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup milk low fat
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp allspice
- 1/4 tsp cloves ground
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg freshly grated
- 2 Tbsp molasses
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together all the ingredients. Stir long enough so that the sugar is dissolved and the molasses has been completely incorporated.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and process according to your machine's directions. For me the ice cream takes about 25 minutes.
- Turn the soft ice cream into a container, cover with plastic wrap, and put in the freezer to firm up, this will take a minimum of 4-6 hours, or overnight.
