Ingredients

  • 2 cup whole milk

  • 2 cup half-and-half

  • ½ cup superfine granulated sugar

  • ¼ cup honey

  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt

  • 1 ½ tablespoon cornstarch

  • 3 ounce cream cheese, softened

  • 1 ½ tablespoon freshly grated ginger

Directions

  1. In a Dutch oven or large saucepan combine milk, half-and-half, sugar, honey, turmeric, and salt. Cook and stir constantly over medium-high until milk starts to boil vigorously. In a small bowl whisk together cornstarch and 2 Tbsp. water. Whisk into milk mixture. (Reduce heat to medium if milk bubbles up too fast). Let boil 4 minutes, stirring constantly, or until mixture resembles custard and coats the back of a spoon.

  2. Strain hot mixture through a sieve if necessary. In a large bowl whisk hot mixture into cream cheese; chill.

  3. Using a garlic press or a piece of cheesecloth, squeeze and collect juice from grated ginger. Stir juice into ice cream base. Pour mixture into ice cream maker. Churn according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a container. Freeze at least 4 hours.

  4. To serve, scoop ice cream into dishes or mugs. Top with hot coffee. Serves 8.
