Roasted Apple Ice Cream

It’s getting late (and cold) in the year to be making ice cream. Not sure what inspired me to find this ice cream, but it turned out to be an excellent one, full of concentrated apple flavour.

The recipe is from the LA Times. The first step is to roast the apples with cinnamon, concentrating their flavour, and driving off some moisture.

Some of this puree is combined into the ice cream base, along with some sour cream, which amplifies the tanginess of the fruit. The remaining puree is swirled in after churning.

What a wonderful ice cream, full of unmistakeable apple flavour. As mentioned in the accompanying article, “a perfect expression of late fall”.
