Fennel Ice

This works equally well accompanying a salad, fish
or as a palate cleanser.

Reserve the fronds for decoration once made.

  • 500 ml Cream
  • 200 ml Crème fraîche
  • 250 g Chopped fennel
  • 2 tsp Fennel seeds, crushed
  • Lemon zest
Simmer above in pan for 30 mins then let cool and sieve.
Beat together:
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 150 g Caster Sugar
Slowly mix eggs with cream mix. (You don’t want scrambled eggs.) Simmer until you get a custard constituency. Sieve a level tsp Tara gum powder over the mix and stir well.
Leave to cool then churn in an ice cream maker.
Set in a freezer.
