Ginger Ice Cream: A Delightful Addition To Afternoon Tea Recipes.

When serving ginger ice cream as part of an afternoon tea, pair it with buttery shortbread, lemon drizzle cake, warm scones, or crisp almond biscuits.

Fresh berries and poached pears also make excellent accompaniments, balancing the gentle spice with natural sweetness and acidity.

For an elegant presentation, garnish each serving with a sprig of fresh mint or a thin slice of candied ginger.

How To Make Ginger Ice Cream: A Delightful Addition To Afternoon Tea Recipes:

Method:

  1. Firstly, whisk the eggs and sugar together in a large bowl.
  2. In another bowl whip the cream until soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the egg and sugar mixture. Add the chopped ginger and ginger syrup and gently combine.
  3. Pour into a suitable container and pop into the freezer. You will need to gently stir the ice cream after around 2 hours to ensure even distribution of the ginger pieces and maybe again after another hour. When you are happy that the ginger is evenly distributed leave in the freezer for 24 hours to set to perfection.
  4. When the ice cream is ready to remove from the freezer and allow to soften slightly.

Tip: For extra ‘gingerness’ decorate with finely shredded pieces of stem ginger in syrup.

This versatile ice cream is equally enjoyable throughout the year.

It provides a cooling finish during the warmer months while its comforting ginger notes make it equally appealing in cooler seasons.

Rich in flavour and effortlessly elegant, ginger ice cream is a memorable dessert that adds a refined and unexpected touch to any afternoon tea gathering, delighting guests with every creamy spoonful.
