This recipe is bought to you, courtesy of [[:Category:Nik and Edwina's Cookbook recipes|Nik & Edwina's Cookbook]]. What a great fun idea.

It has also prompted me to create a [[:Category:Savoury ice-cream recipes|Savoury ice cream recipes category]], so thanks Nik! I don't think that Nik's description can be bettered, so here it is:

"We pooled our [[Amazon]] tokens in Christmas 2011 and bought an [[Ice cream maker|ice cream maker]], and we’ve had great fun with it ever since (see also [[Rose Kulfi]] and [[Frozen Yoghurt with a Hint of Coconut]]).

One of the things we got to thinking about was how we could use it to make savoury [[Ice cream|ice cream]], basically a frozen [[Starter|starter]]. This is the result, a recipe we invented from scratch, a surprisingly lush, yet sophisticatedly flavoursome dish that ticks all sorts of boxes, not least the one that says ‘Carbonara as you've never tasted it’. It makes enough for 8 people, as that’s the minimum our ice [[Cream|cream]] maker will do, but of course you can just serve half of it for four diners and keep the rest in the [[Freezer|freezer]]."

5/5

A lovely idea as I prefer anything savoury to sugary treats. Parmesan cheese in an ice cream!

{{RecipeIngredients
| 30g very finely [[Grated|grated]] [[Parmesan cheese|parmesan cheese]]
| 500 ml [[Semi-skimmed milk|semi-skimmed milk]]
| 3 [[Egg yolks|egg yolks]]
| 200 ml [[Double cream|double cream]]
| [[Salt]] and freshly [[Ground|ground]] green or [[Black pepper|black pepper]]
| 64 [[Mange tout|mange tout]]
| [[Wasabe paste]]
}}

'''For the dressing:'''
* 20g very finely [[Diced|diced]] mild cooking [[Chorizo|chorizo]]
* 2 tablespoons [[Ground nut|ground nut]] [[Oil|oil]]
* pinch of [[Salt|salt]]
* pinch of [[English mustard powder]]
* 1½ teaspoon [[Runny honey|runny honey]]
* [[Juice]] of half a [[Lemon|lemon]]

===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Put half the [[Parmesan|parmesan]] in a bowl and add 150mls of the [[Milk|milk]]. Leave to soak for an hour
| Gently [[Fry|fry]] the [[Diced|diced]] [[Chorizo|chorizo]] in 2 tablespoons [[Groundnut oil|groundnut oil]] for a minute. Remove from heat, drain the chorizo, keeping the [[Oil|oil]], set aside the chorizo, and keep warm. You should have about 75ml of chorizo oil – this depends on the [[Fat|fat]] content of the chorizo. If it is less than 75ml top up with [[Groundnut|groundnut]] oil. Then add the [[Salt|salt]], [[Mustard powder|mustard powder]], [[Honey|honey]] and [[Lemon juice|lemon juice]]. Whisk together and check the balance of flavours. It should be sweet-sour with the smoky [[Paprika|paprika]] flavour being balanced by the honey. Set aside
| Once the [[Cheese|cheese]] has been soaking for an hour, bring the remaining [[Milk|milk]] to a gentle [[Boil|boil]] in a small saucepan, and add the soaked [[Parmesan|parmesan]] and milk. [[Simmer]] for 2 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to keep the cheese from sticking. Put a fine [[Sieve|sieve]] over a [[Glass|glass]] bowl, and pour the cheesy milk into it. Gently stir it with the wooden spoon so all the milk passes through, and you’re left with a sticky lump of cheese solids. Discard this, all the cheese flavour is now in the milk
| Whisk the [[Egg yolks|egg yolks]] in another bowl until they’re starting to froth up and going light yellow
| Put the cheesy [[Milk|milk]] back in the pan and bring it back to a very gentle [[Bubble|bubble]]. Take a tablespoon full out of it, and very slowly dribble it into the [[Eggs|eggs]], whisking all the while, repeat with another tablespoon full. Then pour the [[Egg|egg]] and cheesy milk mix slowly back into the gently [[Simmering|simmering]] milk, continually stirring with a wooden spoon. [[Simmer]] the mixture on a low heat, stirring all the while, till it starts to thicken, and coats the back of the spoon; this should take 4 to 5 minutes. Do not allow to [[Boil|boil]], or it’ll [[Curdle|curdle]]
| Take the mixture off the heat, pour it into a clean [[Glass|glass]] litre sized [[measuring jug]] and allow to cool for half an hour
| After half an hour, beat the [[Double cream|double cream]] till it’s starting to stiffen, but is still quite floppy. Stir it gently into the cheesy mixture in the [[measuring jug]]. Stir in a half to one teaspoon of [[Salt|salt]], depending on your taste, and a teaspoon of [[Freshly ground pepper|freshly ground pepper]]
| Turn your [[Ice cream maker|ice cream maker]] on, and set it for 50 minutes. After a couple of minutes, start pouring the mixture in
| With 5 minutes to go, add the other half of the [[Grated|grated]] [[Parmesan]]
| At the end, turn the [[Ice cream|ice cream]] out into [[Freezer|freezer]] containers, and put in the freezer
| When you’re 10 minutes off serving, take the [[Ice cream|ice cream]] out of the [[Freezer|freezer]] to allow it to soften a little. [[Steam]] your [[Mange tout|mange tout]] till only just done, then refresh them under cold water. Put two small scoops of ice [[Cream|cream]], and eight mange tout on each plate. Put a blob of wasabe paste on the side of each plate. Dribble a teaspoonful of [[Chorizo|chorizo]] dressing over the ice cream, and sprinkle with the chorizo crumbs.
| Serve!
