Rich and creamy homemade ice cream made with, yes, extra virgin olive oil (E.V.O.O. I.C. if you will). The bright, fruity, and nutty flavors of olive oil translate surprisingly well in a sweet application like this one. You have to taste it to believe it!
While I’m not always one to embrace unusual ice cream flavors, this recipe is an exception. Sure, olive oil is most often used in savory dishes, but don’t write it off so quickly—it makes for an ultra creamy homemade ice cream that’s somehow both bold and delicate in flavor at the same time.
Like last summer’s fresh bay leaf ice cream, and the summer before that’s sourdough ice cream, this summer’s unusual ice cream flavor will most certainly surprise you. Or maybe it won’t considering the name of this blog and all.
To be honest, I’m surprised it’s taken me this long to do an olive oil ice cream recipe, for obvious reasons. After last month’s olive oil chocolate loaf cake, which is already a hit with readers, I’m rather tempted to olive-oilify all the things. I’ve done cookies and mashed potatoes, brownies and rice krispie treats… but really, anything that typically calls for butter or any other kind of oil/fat would be possible to make with olive oil instead.
And even things that don’t usually call for butter or oil. Like, say, ice cream?
I expected that olive oil ice cream would be tasty, no doubt there, but I didn’t expect it to leave me at a loss for words to describe just how good it really is. Honestly, it really has no right to be this good. Even Taylor commented that it’s one of the best ice creams I’ve made (which, if you’ve been a reader here for any length of time you’ll know that such praise from Mr. Plain-ass-chocolate is rare indeed).
It’s somehow the creamiest ice cream you’ve ever had, butterier than if it was made with actual butter, and yet still with an underlying brightness that announces itself the second it touches your tongue, shouting, “THERE IS OLIVE OIL IN THIS ICE CREAM AND IT IS GOOD” (you know, just in case the signals haven’t reached your brain yet).
It is so much better than vanilla.
