Caramelized Onion Ice Cream
My conclusion is that caramelized onion ice cream is for freaks. If you’re a freak like I am, then please enjoy this recipe. I know I’ve already made roasted garlic ice cream , but I guess that wasn’t weird enough, because now I’ve made this. I thought this recipe would be liked by more people than the roasted garlic one, my thought process being that caramelized onions aren’t too far a stretch from caramel ice cream, but it was surprisingly divisive. I will use less fat next time, as this recipe has a whopping 17% butterfat! That is very high in fat, meaning that the flavor of caramelized onions lingers. To get the most flavor possible out of the caramelized onions, this recipe calls for not only steeping them in cream but also blending them in milk. This way, we let both water and fat molecules grab onto the flavor, making for a full-bodied, rich, and creamy dessert. This ice cream is not for everyone. For one thing, it isn’t for people who don’t like savory and sweet...
