Sesame Ice Cream With Apple Cider Donut Bites

 

Ice cream is so remarkable! It’s a blank slate for a skilled artist to create masterpieces for the masses to enjoy and marvel over. All you need is a good base recipe and quality ingredients, and the sky's the limit on what you can create. When I made ice cream more regularly in restaurants, I tried to push the boundaries from time to time, as that is a good way to learn and grow. I’ve created entire desserts based on an awesome ice cream flavor.

 

My recipe for toasted sesame ice cream is one I will never forget, as it’s probably one of the best ice creams I’ve ever made in my entire career. Who would ever think to put toasted sesame seeds into ice cream? I did, and I’m very glad I did. I liked watching the looks on people’s faces when they heard the words sesame ice cream — a slightly puzzled look would occur. After they tasted it — eyebrows raised, corners of the mouth begin to smile, eyes wide open — the usual reaction when someone thoroughly enjoys what they’ve just tasted.
Now, adding inclusions to ice cream is a great way to make awesome ice cream into a phenomenal one. I added Chinese 5-spice apple cider doughnut clusters. Oh yes... I did do that. Why not? Fun, delicious and show-stopping.

Notes

Storage Tip
Keep ice cream in a sealed container to prevent freezer burn from occurring. Ice cream will keep for 2 weeks.
Chef's Tip
Trimoline is a commercial anticrystallant inverted sugar. It helps prevent the formation of large ice crystals and promotes more evenly sized ice crystals for super-smooth ice cream. Trimoline is usually found in large quantities (15-pound buckets) for professional restaurants. Corn syrup is a good substitution that will achieve similar results.

If Mars was livable, and you accept a one-way ticket to host a party there, who would you invite (4 guests max), and what would you cook?
I would invite my mother because she birthed me and has ALWAYS supported me throughout my life and career. I would invite Jeff Goldblum, a handsome, suave, slender gentleman (like myself), and a great conversationalist. He would make dining interesting. Dominique Ansel: a visionary pastry chef. I would LOVE to pick his mind about innovation and creativity. Lastly, I would invite my mentor and godmother, Darcy Sala. She taught me everything I know about food and hospitality. I wouldn’t be where I am today in my career without her. I would cook the cuisine I love most: Carolina BBQ! Ribs, brisket, cornbread, slaw, smoked sausage.


Do you have any ridiculous goals in life?
Apart from being a pastry chef, I am also an avid real estate investor. So, I suppose a “ridiculous goal” would be to own 1000 rental properties across the United States, but I’m in no rush… at least before I retire.
