I’d actually like to try this because I love olive oil (the greener the better!) and I like Ice Cream (like everybody). This is from Kerasma’s Fall 2006 issue of Gourmet Greek Traveler. This recipe was created by David Tsirekas, Owner-Chef, Perama, Sydney. Cook time includes chill time.
Ingredients: [‘heavy cream’, ‘extra virgin olive oil’, ‘egg yolks’, ‘cinnamon sticks’, ‘vanilla bean’, ‘sugar’]
