Last weekend I made a new flavor of ice cream. Centered around dried blueberries, I used brown sugar and maple syrup instead of white sugar. Still used the usual vanilla and added cinnamon.
Ingredients:
- the usual custard
- sub ¾ C brown sugar and ¼ C maple syrup
- 1 C dried blueberries
- 2 T vanilla
- 1 t cinnamon ?
Next time chop the blueberries and macerate them a day ahead in a portion of the milk and cream mixture. Also, maybe use cinnamon stick.
Second run and the maceration was very successful. I macerated the dried blueberries (after finely chopping) in about half a cup of the cream. Added this after cooking.
