How about an ice cream flavor that transports you to a beautiful flowery meadow with lavenders? I'm absolutely thrilled to share this 2-in-1 recipe - creamy Lavender Ice cream and oat milk shake using Lavender extract and Maple Syrup that can double up as a dessert or a floral morning smoothie!
Make sure all the ingredients (cream base, maple syrup and lavender extract) are chilled. Take out the ingredients once you're ready to start.
Set up the ice cream maker according to the instructions on a level surface. Ensure good air flow around the ice cream maker.
Make the ice cream mix
In a large mixing bowl, add heavy whipping cream, half and half and maple syrup. Mix well using a whisk or a hand blender.
Add in a tsp a lavender extract. We are looking for a beautiful floral flavor. Do a taste test to check the sweetness level and the taste of lavender. Be careful not to add too much lavender extract.
Making the ice cream
Add the paddle attachment, and pour the ice cream mix in the ice cream maker. Turn on the ice cream maker and set for 30 minutes.
After about 25 minutes, check the readiness, and churn for an additional 5-10 minutes if the ice cream needs more time to set.
Freezing and Storing
Turn off the ice cream maker, transfer the contents into the chilled container. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours or overnight to enjoy your delightful floral treat!
