Ice olive oil and saffron gain in smoothness with skim milk powder and xanthan gum. These ingredients help get a perfectly smooth texture, while stabilizing ice to avoid crystals. Perfect for accompanying savory dishes, it is a refined and original option.
Ingredients :
- 100 ml of whole liquid cream
- 200 ml of whole milk
- 10 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil (preferably gentle and fruity)
- 1/2 teaspoon of saffron filaments (infused in a little hot milk)
- 1 tablespoon of skimmed milk powder (to add body and creamy)
- A pinch of xanthan gum (about 0.1 to 0.2 g, a very small pinch)
- A pinch of salt to balance the flavors
- pepper
Preparation :
- Infusion of saffron
in a small amount of lukewarm milk, infuse saffron filaments for about 10 minutes for their aromas and their color to diffuse fully. - Prepare the olive oil and saffron base with stabilizers
in a bowl, mix the infused milk with saffron, cream, olive oil, skim milk powder, and salt. Sprinkle the xanthan gum, whisking vigorously to incorporate it well without lumps. The mixture should be homogeneous and slightly thickened. - Pour into the Ninja Creami container
transfers the preparation in the Ninja Creami container, taking care not to exceed the Max Fill . Place everything in the freezer for 24 hours to allow flavors to develop and ice to stabilize. - Turbine with the Ice Cream program
the next day, inserts the container in the Ninja Creami and launches the "Ice Cream" . Skimmed milk powder and xanthan gum will give an incredibly smooth texture without ice crystals. - Tip Respin
If the texture is too firm, use the Respin to soften the consistency. Add a small drizzle of milk (about 30 ml) if necessary to obtain an even more creamy texture.
My Personal Tip:
Try this ice with a drizzle of olive oil and a few grains of salt in topping. It also goes well with grilled vegetables or seafood dishes. For a touch of contrast, some lemon zest or crushed pistachios can also add a visual and taste twist.
Here, your ice cream olive oil and saffron is ready with an optimized texture! It is a rich and refined option, perfect for aperitifs or to accompany savory dishes. Enjoy your food !
