Lemon mascarpone ice-cream with blue poppy seeds

Ingredients

100ml Fresh squeezed lemon juice.
Zest of 1 lemon
4 Egg yolks
4 oz Caster sugar
250g Mascarpone
2 tbspns blue poppy seeds (lightly toasted off in a frying pan)
Recipe

1. In a pan bring the lemon juice & zest up to a simmer, then allow to cool.

2. Whisk together the egg yolks & sugar in a bowl over a pan of simmering water until it is pale. Pour the lemon mixture into the egg and whisk until it thickens up enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon - you should be able to draw your finger through the mix without it running back together. Mix the poppy seeds through and then chill mix completely.

3. When the custard is very cold beat in the mascarpone. Churn and freeze.

that looks delicious. I'll try it tomorrow when I can get some mascarpone. Do the poppy seeds make it gritty though? I guess I could ripple some limoncello through after its frozen.

yeh pretty much. creme brulee (add your own accents - though it was invented in the UK) is baked egg custard with added blow torched sugar.

turns out blow torches are not just for redmite.

It can still be edited. I'm putting all the new recipes in the data base any way, so keep them coming.

a list of eggy recipes added to the article - if not the full recipes would be nice, particularly when faced with the 'what to do with this egg mountain' question

bread and butter pudding.
clafoutis

infact

blackberry clafoutis:

6 tbsp blackberries (frozen is fine)
6 tbsp sugar
3 eggs
1/2 pint milk
3 oz plain flour

icing sugar to serve

Pre heat the oven to 190C.

Take an 8” baking dish and grease well. Mix the blackberries and half the sugar and scatter evenly over the dish.

Wizz up the remaining sugar with the rest of the ingredients, and pour over the top.

Cook until firm to the touch - 40-50 mins ish.

Remove from the oven and allow to sit for 20 mins or so. Slice and dust with icing sugar. Serve with cream.

No, it doesn't. You can omit them if you want or replace them with something else. Limoncello would be lovely rippled through!

No. Creme brulee has the blowtorched sugar on the top.

(We're having panna cotta brulee for pudding tonight)

The easist way to find them is to go to the data base and put egg in the search.
