You read that right; Olive oil! We know what you're thinking, the heat probably got to us, but we assure you this recipe will "WOW" your tastebuds! A delicious mix of salty and sweet that comes together for an incredible taste.

Let's get to it!

Ingredients

- 2 cups whole milk
- 4 tsp cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 oz cream cheese softened/room temperature
- 1/8 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp light corn syrup
- 1 cup of Basso Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Instructions

- Place your freezer dish and place it into the freezer overnight until ready to pour the final mixture into it!
- Take your small bowl, mix about 2 tbsp of whole milk with cornstarch to make a smooth slurry.
- In your medium bowl, add the room-temperature cream cheese and salt. Mix to remove all bumps until smooth.
- Using the large bowl, make an ice bath (with lots of ice!) and set it aside.
- Pour the cream, corn syrup, sugar, vanilla extract, and the rest of the milk into a 4-quart saucepan. On medium-high heat, bring to a boil for 4 minutes. It is crucial not to boil for more than 4 minutes.
- Remove from heat and gradually whisk in your cornstarch mixture.
- Return to stovetop and boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the mixture has thickened. This process will be about 1 minute or so. Remove from heat.
- Once thickened, add Basso Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
- Whisk the hot mixture into the cream cheese mixture until smooth. We recommend pouring a little bit at a time to make sure there are no lumps.
- Pour the mixture flat into a large Ziploc freezer bag. Seal the bag and submerge it into your bowl with ice. Let it sit until very cold, roughly 30 minutes. Add more ice as needed.
- After the ice bath, put your cold mixture into your freezable container with a lid and set it into the freezer until firm for at least 4 hours.
- After freezing, you have the base of your ice cream. You can break this into pieces or cut it into chunks that fit into your food processor.
- Pulse the frozen base until smooth, like ice cream! It can take up to 25 minutes.
- Place new mixture into the freezer for up to 8 hours to rest.
- Serve and enjoy!

Tips: We recommend using Basso Extra Virgin Olive Oil to give flavor without overpowering the other ingredients.
