Why you'll love golden spice turmeric ginger ice cream

  • Unique flavor: The combination of ginger and turmeric creates a warm, spicy and slightly earthy flavor that’s incredibly satisfying.
  • Warming spices: Turmeric and ginger are often enjoyed for their warming, feel-good qualities.
  • Creamy and rich: The milk and heavy cream give it a smooth, classic ice cream base.

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 overmixing, 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 for turmeric ginger ice cream

  • 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 skip the vanilla altogether. 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.
