Experience the delicate floral essence of lilac in this creamy and refreshing ice cream. Perfect for a spring or summer treat, this recipe captures the essence of blooming lilac flowers in a delightful frozen dessert.
Ingredients: 4 cups lilac flowers, packed. 2 cups heavy cream. 1 cup whole milk. 3/4 cup granulated sugar. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Instructions: In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt over medium heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved and mixture is warmed through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lilac flowers. Let steep for 1 hour to infuse the flavor. After steeping, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl, pressing on the flowers to extract all the liquid. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture until completely chilled, preferably overnight. Once chilled, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. Transfer the churned ice cream to a container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm. Serve scoops of lilac ice cream and enjoy!
