Olive Oil Ice Cream – Barefeet within the Kitchen

I did a little bit of analysis on-line earlier than making this ice cream, trying to find an honest high quality, “fruity” oil that could possibly be discovered at most grocery shops. Whereas I do get pleasure from utilizing fancy olive oils at totally different occasions, I needed this ice cream to be one thing that wasn’t out of attain for the typical residence kitchen. I used Terra Delyssa olive oil, and it proved nice for this ice cream.

If attainable, I like to recommend shopping for a brand new bottle of oil for this recipe. Olive oil actually doesn’t final all that lengthy. In case your olive oil doesn’t scent like something, it in all probability received’t style like a lot both. (And if it smells unhealthy – musty, or like plastic or wax? please don’t strive utilizing it right here!)

Simply be certain that it’s recent and just a little bit fruity, if attainable.
