Cook Time:
Elevate your dessert game with a Chinese-inspired green tea ice cream.
Ingredients:
  • 300ml pure (thin) cream
  • 40.00 ml Chinese green tea leaves (see note)
  • 220g caster sugar
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 300ml thickened cream
  • 50g white chocolate, chopped
  • 50g dark chocolate, chopped
  • Edible dried rose petals, to garnish (see note)
Instructions:
  • In a saucepan, combine pure cream, tea, and 1/4 cup (55g) sugar over low heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium until it's just below boiling. Remove from heat and let it sit for 1 hour.
  • Pour the flavored cream through a sieve into a clean pan, gently pressing on the tea leaves.
  • Bring the mixture just below boiling on medium heat, then remove from heat.
  • Whisk egg yolks and the remaining 3/4 cup (165g) sugar until they are thick and light using an electric mixer. Combine the hot cream mixture with the yolks, then pour it back into a clean pan. Cook on low heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, cover the surface with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until chilled. Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cooled custard. Process in an ice cream maker following the manufacturer's instructions. Alternatively, pour the mixture into a shallow container and freeze for 2 hours or until set at the edges.
  • Use an electric beater to whip the mixture until smooth, then freeze again. Repeat this process 2 to 3 times. Finally, transfer the mixture to a plastic container and freeze until it becomes firm.
  • Prepare two baking trays by lining them with lightly greased foil. Melt the white and dark chocolate in separate bowls set over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Spread the melted chocolate onto the lined trays and sprinkle rose petals over the white chocolate. Chill until set, then break into pieces. Serve the chocolate shards over scoops of ice cream in bowls.
