Equipment
- 1 Ice Cream Maker
Ingredients
- 3 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Half and half
- ¾ cup Maple syrup
- 1 tsp Lavender extract
Instructions
Preparation
- 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!
