A fun and easy dessert that everyone can enjoy! This recipe does not require an ice cream maker, but if you have one, follow your machine's instructions.
Equipment
- 1 ice cream maker this is optional, the recipe does not require one
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp sugar
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup cream (10%) or table cream (18%)
- 6 sprigs Fresh Organic Lavender OR 1 tbsp dried lavender buds OR 2 drops lavender essential oil
- 3 tbsp coarse salt or pickling salt
- lots of Ice Cubes
- Ziploc Bags sandwich size freezer bags
- 2 L size Round Drinking Cooler or one large Coffee tin
Instructions
- Stir together sugar, vanilla, cream and lavender sprigs in a small bowl. Transfer to Ziploc bag, sealing securely.
- Fill a cooler or large coffee tin ¾ full with ice cubes and sprinkle the salt over the ice. Place the smaller bag in the middle of the ice (you may place up to 3 sandwich-sized bags in one container). Seal your container shut.
- Roll your container around on a table or the ground for about 10 minutes. Check if the cream is frozen – you don’t need to remove the bag. If it isn’t frozen, keep rolling it around for another 5 minutes.
- Remove bag(s) from the large container. Rinse the salt off the outside of the bags. Remove lavender sprigs. Place into a bowl or eat straight from the bag!
