ingredients

Raspberry Basil Compote
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp Gourmet Garden Basil Paste
Lemon Ice Cream
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 7 egg yolks
  • 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

instructions

  • In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stir together raspberries and sugar. Cook until the raspberries break apart and it becomes a smooth sauce, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the Gourmet Garden Basil Paste. Cool completely.
  • In a medium saucepan, stir together the milk, heavy cream, 1 Tbsp of sugar and pinch of salt. Cook on medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and 1/4 cup sugar. Add approximately 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture to the egg mixture, whisking as you add it slowly. Continue to add the milk mixture 1/4 cup at a time until it’s all been mixed in. Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan.
  • Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a metal spoon. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and lemon juice. Add the custard to a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap, making sure the plastic wrap touches the surface of the custard to prevent a film from forming. Chill completely.
  • Add the custard mixture to your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In the last few moments stir in the compote. Pour into a container and top with white chocolate chips. Chill for a minimum of 6 to 8 hours before serving.
