Tips for a perfect texture
Salted ice creams have slightly different requirements from sweet ice creams in terms of texture. Natural stabilizers, such as xanthan eraser or skimmed milk powder, are precious allies to obtain a smooth texture and avoid ice crystals. Also add a little cream or milk for more smoothness. For intense flavors like those with cheese or herbs, a small pinch of salt enhances the flavors and makes the ice tasty.

My tips for savoring savory ice cream
Savory ice lends themselves particularly well to elegant presentations. Serving a ball of cheese ice cream with a net of balsamic vinegar, fresh herbs or dried fruits brings a sophisticated and delicious touch. For flavors such as basil, thyme, or even wasabi, do not hesitate to adjust according to your taste before freezing the base. Savory flavors tend to be more intense, so taste the mixture before pouring it into the container.
