Spruce Tips Ice Cream is a traditional British recipe for a classic egg custard ice cream flavoured with fresh, young, spruce tips. The full recipe is presented here and I hope you enjoy this classic British version of: Spruce Tips Ice Cream.
Combine the spruce tips, milk and cream in a large pan and slowly bring to a boil. In the meantime, beat together the egg yolks and sugar in a large heat-proof bowl until pale and creamy.
Slowly pour the boiling cream mix into the egg mix, beating briskly all the while. Continue beating until the custard thickens. Set aside for 30 minutes to infuse before straining into a fresh bowl (make certain you strain to remove the spruce tips).
Transfer the custard to your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions before freezing.
