Violet Ice Cream
Collecting violets is a calming, almost meditative activity where you can sit among the flowers, quietly picking and letting your mind relax.
Violet blue ice cream combines fresh violets with a classic ice cream base for a unique floral treat.
Begin by blending fresh violets with lemon juice to make a puree. Heat heavy cream and whole milk until warm, then mix with whisked egg yolks and sugar. Cook until the mixture thickens, then stir in the violet puree, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Chill the mixture, churn it in an ice cream maker, and freeze until firm.
