Roasted Apricot & Lemon Hibiscus Tea Ice Cream

May 6, 2014 · 6 Comments

Roasted Apricot and Lemon Hibiscus Tea Ice CreamI just couldn’t be more thrilled we’re heading into the best fruit season, mostly because the beautiful golden hued, vitamin rich, Apricot, is gracing us with the first signs of summer. Miniature velvety fleshed fruits that are at the same time faintly tart and sweet. They’re perfectly eaten fresh, but lately I enjoy them best roasted atop my morning yogurt.Roasted Apricot and Lemon Hibiscus Tea Ice CreamTea is meant to be sipped on in the afternoon with shortbread cookies, or spiked with vodka on a hot summer’s night, but it also is lends itself beautifully when infused with a fruit based ice cream. The tart lemon and floral hibiscus adds a rejuvenating freshness, to a distinct musky flavor brought out by roasting the apricots to succulent perfection. The longer you allow the ice cream to sit, the richer and deeper the flavor becomes. Every so often you grab a bite with tiny flecks of charred apricot skins that are like delightful happy surprises in your mouth. It’s mellow, earthy, tangy and subtly sweet. It is, in my opinion, the quintessential Spring ice cream flavor and a lovely addition for Mother’s Day. Roasted Apricot and Lemon Hibiscus Tea Ice CreamRoasted Apricot and Lemon Hibiscus Tea Ice CreamRoasted Apricot and Lemon Hibiscus Tea Ice CreamRoasted Apricot and Lemon Hibiscus Tea Ice Cream Roasted Apricot and Lemon Hibiscus Tea Ice Cream Roasted Apricot and Lemon Hibiscus Tea Ice Cream Roasted Apricot and Lemon Hibiscus Tea Ice Cream Roasted Apricot and Lemon Hibiscus Tea Ice CreamRoasted Apricot and Lemon Hibiscus Tea Ice Cream


Roasted Apricot & Lemon Hibiscus Tea Ice Cream 

Ingredients {Makes 1 Quart}

1 pound {about 8} – Apricots {halved}

1 3/4 cups – Heavy Cream

3/4 cups – 2% Milk

1/2 cup – Granulated Sugar

1/4 teaspoon – Salt

2 1/2 tablespoons – Lemon Hibiscus Loose Leaf Tea {I used this one}

5 large – Egg Yolks

Recipe

Stir the cream, milk, half of the sugar {1/4 cup}, salt and tea in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. When the cream mixture begins to bubble around the edge, remove it from the heat and allow to steep until a distinct hibiscus lemon flavor comes through {about 10 minutes}. Stir and taste during this time to check progress of flavor. In a medium heat-proof bowl, whisk the yolks, just to break them up. Add in the remaining sugar, whisk slightly, and set aside.

Uncover the pan, heat to medium heat and slowly ladle about 1/2 cup of the hot mixture into the yolk mixture, while whisking. Add one more ladle of the hot mixture to the yolks, making sure to whisk quickly, as to not curdle the eggs. With a heat-proof spatula, stir the cream mixture as you slowly add in the egg-cream mixture back into the saucepan. Cook the base over medium heat, stirring constantly until it has thickened {about 1 to 2 minutes, the mixture should coat the back of a wooden spoon, holding a clear path when you run your finger through}. Strain the base through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean container, over an ice-water bath. Using a clean spatula, stir the base frequently until its has cooled, then remove from ice bath and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

To make the apricot puree, pre-heat the broiler and place the apricot halves, cut side up, onto a baking sheet roasting until browned and juices begin to bubble {about 10 to 12 minutes}. Set aside to cool slightly, then pulse in food processor until puree forms, allowing for some small pieces to remain {about 3 to 4 pulses}. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Stir the apricot puree into the chilled base, stirring until well blended. Freeze the base in your ice cream machine following your manufacturer’s directions. While the ice cream churns, put the container that you’ll be using in the freezer. The ice cream is ready once it reaches the consistency of soft-serve, or the paddle creates a distinctive path as it churns {be careful NOT to over churn it, there’s no fixing it at that point. The timing of freezing your ice cream will depend on the machine and the conditions of your kitchen}.

Enjoy right away or and freeze until set.

I love everything about entertaining. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing & I’m a sucker for wedding videos. Travel is a constant source of inspiration and motivation. I dream about these things, it’s true. But what I love most, is working with amazing people to create meaningful & unique celebrations…..

Mondays certainly don’t get enough love, I perso Mondays certainly don’t get enough love, I personally find it to be one of the most productive days of the workweek, but it’s a day that is also slower than the rest...

I start Mondays slower than others — light incense, open my windows wide to let the fresh air in, meditate, play beautiful music...
There are a few Mondays I truly love where I get inspired to create while others I ride the winter slow sun & let my thoughts be put into written word! 

I have a beautiful romantic styling coming this week, plus a few more travels around Serra’s outdoor beauty & even a batch of new yummy recipes. I really like when I’m inspired to create & write again🤍🌿📝
Woke up feeling a bit more hopeful & lighter after Woke up feeling a bit more hopeful & lighter after yesterday’s historic day. change won’t happen all at once, there is much to work on...
but for the first time in some time,
I know many are easing up those tense shoulders
& releasing a big deep breathe of relief...

it’s okay to feel good
about releasing all the energy
from the last four years,
we deserve to celebrate
letting go of that...but I do feel
this overall newfound sense of hope,
of inspiration, of drive, motivation,
one we haven’t felt in sometime,
a sigh of relief, that at least,
we’re taking the first steps 
to expand & better the days ahead for all🌾🧡✨
This week may have been a lot but at least it ende This week may have been a lot but at least it ended w. pretty flowers for little Adelaide! Her 3rd birthday may not be as big as her “Some Bunny is 1” or “Peppa Pig Muddy Puddles” celebrations but her loved ones are sure to make her special day “Berry Sweet”🍓🌸
E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expan E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expanding"💫

this year I choose to expand on the
lessons last year served us...
I expand upon all my visions, dreams & intentions
I aim to expand on love, abundance, health, joy, comfort, courage, creativity, adventure, calm, authenticity, w.e big or small that makes my soul sing & thus expand upon my growth.
But I wholeheartedly hope that this year can help others expand on all the good things they want as well -- especially in global terms🤍

I haven't set resolutions in years, instead I always set intentions -- little things that become part of who I am & in turn become the steps to bring all those images I'm inspired by, into life in my own way.

I'm simplifying even more & stripping it down, choosing to always show myself, & others,
more Grace. I quite enjoy this slow but intentional path. Yes, embracing a fresh new start seems appealing, but there’s much uncertainty still to face & we have a whole year ahead of us.

There’s time to get it done so no need to rush into it...show yourself & others some grace, be a Kind human always, because anything can happen✨
