My favorite part about owning an ice cream maker (I own the Kitchenaid ice cream maker) is that I can make whatever odd flavor I want. So when my cilantro started getting out of control, I decided to make a cilantro lime ice cream. The cilantro really shines in this ice cream playing well with the lime. It is perfect hot weather flavor. While it turned out how I wanted, this isn’t a more than one scoop type of ice cream.

Cilantro Lime Ice Cream

1 cup of Whole Milk

2 cups of Heavy Whipping Cream

4 egg yolks

1/4 cup of Sugar

1/2 cup of lime juice about 5 limes

1 tsp of Vodka

3/4 cup of corn syrup

3/4 cup of cilantro chopped

Heat milk, corn syrup and heavy whipping cream, stirring to combine. Add cilantro and seep for about 25 minutes Beat egg yolks and sugar together in medium bowl until light and thick. Strain cilantro into a medium bowl removing cilantro. Pour dairy mixture into egg mixture, whisking continuously. Return the mixture to the sauce pan and cook on low heat until is coats the back of the spoon (I use a wooden spoon). Move mixture into an air tight container i.e ziploc bag, tupperware and chill for at least three hours. Stir in lime juice and vodka in the mixture. Place into ice cream maker and follow manufacturer’s instructions. Put into container and place in freezer for two hours.
