Well, my little poll showed that most of ya'all were interested in cilantro in ice cream. I looked up some ideas for this and end up mixing a couple to make this cilantro cashew ice cream.
Ingredients: (makes two batches of ice cream)
2 cups cashews, soaked for a couple of hours in water
2 bunches of fresh cilantro
2 limes
2 cups sugar
6 egg yolks
2 cups whole milk
3.5 cups heavy cream
Directions:
Combine the milk and heavy cream in a saucepan until just about boiling. Meanwhile, mix the cashews, cilantro, and sugar in a food processor. In a large bowl, combine the egg yolks and cilantro/cashew/sugar mix with a whisk.
Add about 1/2 cup of the hot milk/cream mixture to the bowl and mix. Keep adding 1/2 cup amounts to the bowl and mix until about 2 cups have been added. Then, combine everything in the saucepan and return to medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring often. Do not allow the mixture to boil.
After about 15 minutes, remove from heat and allow to cool. You may wish to strain through a wire mesh to remove any clumps. Store ice cream in refrigerator for at least several hours.
Once ice cream has cooled, mix in the juice of the two limes. Then, mix ice cream in ice cream maker for 20 minutes and place in freezer for a couple of hours before eating.
