Ingredients
- 2 cups Whipping Cream
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- 1/8 tsp Kosher Salt
- 2/3 cup White Sugar
- 2 tbsp Loose-leaf Earl Grey Tea
- 6 Egg Yolks
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 cup Cream Cheese
- 1/4 cup Blueberry Jam
Instructions
- In a small pot, simmer cream, whole milk, sugar, salt and Earl Grey Tea, about 5 minutes. Remove pot from heat. Pass through a fine sieve and discard tea leaves.
- In a separate bowl, whisk yolks, vanilla extract and cream cheese. Whisking constantly, slowly whisk 1/3 of the hot cream into the yolks, then, whisk the yolk mixture back into the pot with the cream.
- Return pot to medium-low heat and cook until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Cool mixture at room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Churn cooled base in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's directions.
- Scoop finished earl grey tea ice cream into a large container. This container should be freezer safe as it is what you are going to store the ice cream in.
- Microwave the blueberry jam for 10-15 seconds until it is slightly runny. Drizzle the blueberry jam over the earl grey tea ice cream and use a knife to create swirls, incorporating the jam into the ice cream mixture.
- Serve the ice cream directly from the bowl as soft serve, or store in the freezer until ready to eat.
- Make a delicious Earl Grey Ice Cream Sundae by serving scoops with Blueberry Muffins and fresh blueberries.
