Overview
A deliciously simple dairy free and gluten free liquorice Ice Cream recipe created by Rebecca at Glutarama – the go-to UK blog for gluten free living.
Use a good quality liquorice extract to add extra depth to the flavour of this lesser-known ice cream flavour. Alternatively, substitute with liquorice powder (Start with 40g for a mild flavour and taste test – increase to personal taste)
Ingredients
- 300g dairy free condensed milk (To make your own see the original recipe here from Rebecca at Gluterama)
- 200ml dairy free cream. On this occasion Rebecca used Elmlea dairy free double cream
- 30g dairy free butter such as Flora Plant Butter
- 1-2 tsp liquorice extract or 40g+ liquorice powder
- ¼ tsp black food colouring (optional)
Method
- If making your own condensed milk, do this first and set aside to cool to room temperature.
- In a mixing bowl beat your cream and softened butter until it stiffens.
- Add the condensed milk, liquorice extract/powder and beat again to combine. Top Tip: add 1 teaspoon first, taste test and add the second if you love liquorice.
- If adding food colouring, do this now. Top Tip: It may be easier to add the pea sized black paste to a small bowl and mix with ½ a teaspoon of water to loosen in before adding to the ice cream mixture.
- Spoon the ice cream into a large enough container – this makes approx 900ml of ice cream
- Once smoothed down why not decorate with gluten free liquorice pieces? (e.g. link)
- Freeze for about 12hrs and then you're ready to serve on its own or accompanying a dessert.
This ice cream goes amazingly well with desserts that have berries in them, for example Blackberry Crumble or Summer Pudding.
