Ingredients

  • 0.3 cup the petals from dandelion flowers finely chopped
  •  egg yolk 
  • ounces goat cheese soft
  • 1.5 cups milk 
  • pinch sea salt 
  • 0.7 cup sugar divided

Equipment

  • bowl
  • sauce pan
  • whisk
  • candy thermometer

Directions

  1. Put goat cheese in a large (3-quart) heatproof container that has a lid.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm milk and stir in half the sugar. Simmer until sugar dissolves. Meanwhile, whisk yolks with the remaining sugar and salt in a heatproof bowl. When the milk has absorbed all the sugar—but before it comes to a boil—begin to temper your eggs by slowly pouring half the warm milk mixture over the yolk mixture while whisking vigorously. Then slowly pour the egg-milk mixture back into the saucepan, whisking vigorously.
  3. Heat mixture until it coats the back of a spoon and the temperature reaches 165°F on a candy thermometer.
  4. Slowly pour mixture over goat cheese, whisking to fully dissolve and incorporate it. Fold in chopped flowers and chill mixture for at least 4 hours and up to overnight. Freeze in an ice-cream maker according to manufacturer’s instructions.
  5. Let ice cream sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving.
