BROWN SUGAR ICE CREAM WITH A GINGER-CARAMEL SWIRL



Brown Sugar Ice Cream with a Ginger-Caramel Swirl image

Provided by Kris Hoogerhyde

Categories     Milk/Cream     Ice Cream Machine     Ginger     Dessert     Freeze/Chill     Kid-Friendly     Frozen Dessert     Summer     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher     Small Plates

Yield Makes about 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 large egg yolks
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 3/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup 1% or 2% milk
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
For the swirl
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon jarred ginger spread*
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
Special Equipment:
Ice cream machine

Steps:

  • Make the base
  • 1. In a medium heatproof bowl, whisk the yolks just to break them up, then whisk in half of the brown sugar (1/4 cup). Set aside.
  • 2. In a heavy nonreactive saucepan, stir together the cream, milk, salt, and the remaining brown sugar (1/4 cup) and put the pan over medium-high heat. When the mixture approaches a bare simmer, reduce the heat to medium.
  • 3. Carefully scoop out about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture and, whisking the eggs constantly, add the cream to the bowl with the egg yolks. Repeat, adding another 1/2 cup of the hot cream to the bowl with the yolks. Using a heatproof rubber spatula, stir the cream in the saucepan as you slowly pour the egg-and-cream mixture from the bowl into the pan.
  • 4. Cook the mixture carefully over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it is thickened, coats the back of a spatula, and holds a clear path when you run your finger across the spatula, 1 to 2 minutes longer.
  • 5. Strain the base through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean container. Set the container into an ice-water bath, wash your spatula, and use it to stir the base occasionally until it is cool. Remove the container from the ice-water bath, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate the base for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • While the ice cream base cools, make the swirl
  • 6. Set the cream by the stove so it's at hand when you need it. Put 2 tablespoons of the sugar in a heavy nonreactive saucepan, and put the pan over medium-high heat. When the sugar is melted around the edges and starts turn amber in places (about 2 minutes), stir the mixture gently and add another 2 tablespoons sugar to the pan.
  • 7. Continue to add the remaining sugar 2 tablespoons at a time, stirring frequently and allowing most of the sugar to melt before you add more. Watch carefully as the sugar darkens, stirring gently to help it melt evenly.
  • Tip: Keep in mind that the flavor of the ice cream hinges on how dark you take the caramel. We take ours to a very dark, almost reddish, stage, which produces our intense signature flavor.
  • 8. When the caramel becomes a dark mahogany color, remove the pan from the heat and immediately but slowly pour the cream into the pan. (The mixture will steam and bubble up, so wear oven mitts and be very careful to avoid splatters and steam burns.) When the bubbling subsides, gently stir to completely blend the cream into the caramel. If you have lumps of hardened caramel in your pan, simply put the pan over low heat and stir until the caramel is melted.
  • 9. Stir in the ginger paste and salt and let cool. (You can make the swirl up to 2 weeks ahead of time. Keep it refrigerated, but let it come to room temperature before using.)
  • Freeze the ice cream
  • 10. When the base is completely chilled, freeze in your ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions. While the ice cream is churning, put the container you'll use to store the ice cream into the freezer.
  • 11. As you transfer the ice cream to the storage container, drizzle in the caramel after every few scoopfuls, using about 6 tablespoons of the caramel (or more if you like). When all the ice cream is in the container, use a chopstick or butter knife to gently swirl the mixture. Enjoy right away or, for a firmer ice cream, freeze for at least 4 hours.
  • Tip: The swirl recipe makes more than you need (the recipe won't work in smaller quantities). You can thin the leftovers with a little cream and use as a sundae topping, or you can enjoy it right off the spoon!

GINGER SUGAR



Ginger Sugar image

This is a ginger-flavored sugar for coating candies, topping baked goods, etc. it has a strong ginger flavor, which may be altered to taste by modifying the amount of ginger used. I am using it to coat truffles but the uses are endless! The ginger must be fresh ginger and should be grated very finely (a microplane is best).

Provided by jewelsf

Categories     Low Protein

Time 10m

Yield 1/3 cup of sugar

Number Of Ingredients 2

1/4 cup demerara sugar
1 tablespoon fresh finely grated gingerroot

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Mix sugar and ginger together in a bowl, and spread out in a baking dish to a layer about 1/4 inch thick. Heat in oven for only about 5 minutes, just long enough for the ginger and sugar to begin to melt together but not long enough for it to become a total liquid. Remove from oven and stir well to mix. Leave out to cool and dry, it will take about 24 to 48 hours for it to dry completely. Stir occasionally to assist in the drying process. Once totally dry and crunchy, grind it to the desired texture using a mortal and pestle or even just the back of a fork.

Provided by HannahBanana aka Am

Categories     Vegetable

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/3 cup season salt
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried chipotle powder
extra virgin olive oil
broccoli
sugar snap pea
1 small green beans
bamboo shoot
bok choy (I just used the green part, not a fan of the white part! ( -)
grated ginger and crushed garlic
low sodium soy sauce
brown sugar
cornstarch
sesame oil

Steps:

  • THE RUB:.
  • Blend well together and rub into both sides of fish. Let sit in the fridge for at least an hour before baking or grilling. Store extra rub blend in an airtight container and save for another day. This is also nice rubbed on large scallops or prawns!
  • THE MAIN DISH:.
  • Rub salmon with sugar & spice mix and set aside in fridge for at least an hour. Cut up broccoli into bite sized pieces and trim up peas and beans. Slice up bok choy. In a baking dish, grease lightly with olive oil and place fish in dish. Bake at 400F for 10 minutes -- this will depend on thickness. Mix equal parts soy sauce and brown sugar to make a sweet "slurry", adding a pinch or two of cornstarch. While fish bakes, heat up a teaspoon of sesame oil in a large frying pan or wok, add ginger and garlic and fry 30 seconds, then add broccoli. Stirfry for 1 minute, then add snap peas, beans, and bamboo shoots. Stirfry another couple minutes until veggies are still "al dente". Add bok choy and soya sauce mix and stirfry one more minute. Serve the fish on top of the veggies, with a little of the sauce from the veggies drizzled on the fish. Enjoy!

GINGER COOKIES (NO GLUTEN, NO SUGAR)



Ginger Cookies (No Gluten, No Sugar) image

This is my adaptation of a recipe on www.positivehealth.com. This version doesn't use any grains. I mix these right in the saucepan that I start with. It's a nice little cookie and my family loves them, so much that I usually double the recipe.

Provided by Aimee88

Categories     Dessert

Time 25m

Yield 15-20 cookies, 15-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

55 g butter
2 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons honey
115 g arrowroot
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2-1 teaspoon mixed spice
1 teaspoon ginger

Steps:

  • Melt the butter, honey and molasses in a medium saucepan.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the remaining ingredients.
  • Allow to stand. If after 5-10 minutes it's not a bit of a firm dough, you might add a bit more arrowroot.
  • Roll into small balls and bake for 10-15 minutes at 170°C/350°F.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than dried ginger, and it will produce a more flavorful sugar.
  • Peel the ginger before slicing: The skin of the ginger can be tough and fibrous, so it's best to remove it before slicing.
  • Slice the ginger thinly: This will help the ginger to dry out more quickly and evenly.
  • Use a low oven temperature: When drying the ginger slices, use a low oven temperature (around 200°F) to prevent them from burning.
  • Store the ginger sugar in an airtight container: Once the ginger sugar is dry, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. This will help to preserve its flavor and aroma.
