This one is great for Halloween or just for something a little different.
100 grams Black Licorice Pieces
1/2 Pint of Half and Half Cream
1/2 Pint of Heavy Whipping Cream
2/3 Cup of Table Sugar
4 Egg Yolks
Over medium heat melt down the Licorice pieces and the Half and Half cream in a saucepan, adding half of the Heavy Whipping Cream to produce a creamy texture. You can leave small portions of the licorice unmelted for some chunky bits. Once melted into a creamy mix, take off heat.
Beat egg yolks and mix sugar together, and then add to the Licorice/Cream mixture and return to medium heat. Add in the remainder of the heavy whipping Cream and stir till mixed. Do not boil. Take off the heat and chill mixture down to 40 degrees before running through your Ice Cream Maker to the manufacturer’s instructions. This ice cream will turn out gray, so you may need to add a little food coloring if you want a nice rich black color.
