Roasted pear & red currant ice cream
Roast
Roasting
The flavor of this ice cream was inspired by a trip to the grocery store. I splurged on a small box of red currants, a tart and tangy relative of the grape. After popping one in my mouth, I knew I wanted to use the little red fruit as a swirl in ice cream, but I had to think of a complementary base. I thought that a subtle sweet fruit base would pair well with the tart flavors of the currants, and when I turned around the pears were staring me right in the face. How is that for sudden inspiration? My favorite kind. Enjoy! <br /> <br />Ice cream base inspired by recipes in Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home <br /> <br />Note: The pear flavor of the base is subtle, almost floral in nature. You may add more pear puree if you'd like but the base may become too icey. For a stronger pear flavor, consider substituting a pear sorbet base and spoon the red currant sauce on top.
