GINGER ICE CREAM
I know this is something you can buy in the store, but it will not be as spectacular as this ice cream. I use fresh ginger that is infused into the cream and pieces of crystallized ginger is folded in. I’m not stingy on the crystalized ginger so you get some in every bite.
This smooth, sweet ice cream with the sharp taste of ginger is a guaranteed crowd pleaser.

Notes
The crystallized ginger I buy comes in round pieces so I cut it up, but if you can find them already in tiny pieces then get that.
Crystallized ginger is also called candied ginger.
If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can use a handheld one. Just strain the cream into the mixing bowl.
