Sea-Salt Ice Cream

With the 20th anniversary of Kingdom Hearts being this year I wanted to find a way to celebrate one of my favorite game franchises. I tried making this ice cream years ago and the flavor is really addictive! The moment I made it again I remembered that salty yet sweet taste and fell in love with this refreshing treat all over again. If you are a fan of Kingdom Hearts, or just like to try new things, I hope you’ll enjoy this recipe!

2. Add the sugar, milk, and cream to the egg yolks. Whisk together then gently stir with a spatula on low heat. Continue until you get a slightly thickened and velvety texture, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Step 7

7. If using an ice cream machine, pour in the mix according to machine instructions.

8. If using a container or popsicle molds, pour in the mixture and tap out any excess air before freezing for at least 4-5 hours. (Personally, I still use the ice cream machine first even with popsicle molds to ensure a smooth texture).
