Why Golden Spice Ice Cream?
- Unique Flavor: The combination of ginger and turmeric creates a warm, spicy, and slightly earthy flavor that’s incredibly satisfying.
- Anti-Inflammatory Potential: Both ginger and turmeric are known for their anti-inflammatory properties, making this ice cream a potential treat for those seeking natural remedies.
- Digestive Aid: Ginger is a well-known digestive aid, helping to soothe the stomach and promote healthy digestion.
- Good Source of Calcium: Thanks to the milk and cream, this ice cream provides a decent dose of calcium, an essential mineral for bone health.
Instructions:
- Combine the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix the sugar, ginger, turmeric, and guar gum.
- Incorporate the liquids: Pour in the milk and vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously by hand until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Fold in the cream: Gently fold in the heavy cream until just combined. Avoid over-mixing, as this can introduce too much air and create an icy texture.
- Churn and freeze: Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Once finished, transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for several hours to firm up.
- Enjoy! Scoop and savor this unique, golden-hued ice cream.
Tips and Variations:
- Adjust the spice: If you prefer a milder flavor, start with a smaller amount of ginger and turmeric and gradually increase to your liking. If you love the turmeric ginger flavor, you can opt to skip the vanilla all together. I use it to take the edge off. The kids love this ice cream with a little bit of vanilla in it.
- Garnish with candied ginger: For an extra burst of flavor and texture, top your ice cream with chopped candied ginger.
