Iron Chef: Balsamic Strawberry Ice Cream

Hi Tipsy people! I’m Jesse, AK’s husband. My friends and I once tossed around a plan to have a real life Iron Chef competition. Like full-scale japanese iron chef, where we have to cook 5 dishes in 1 hour with 1 special ingredient. The trouble was: way too darn expensive. Cost Prohibitive to the nth degree.

So, flash forward another lifetime, and Danielle suggested we do an iron chef competition, but just 1 dish. I die.

So anyway, the secret ingredient: Balsamic Vinegar.

Balsamic vinegar can be tossed with strawberries to bring out there flavor, so I combined it (in syrup form) with home made ice cream. what WHAT!

Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole Milk
• 1 cup Heavy Cream
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• Strawberries
• Balsamic Vinegar

Method

• Make sure your ice cream maker is prepared (mine takes 4 hours to fully freeze).
• Combine whole milk, cream, sugar and vanilla in a bowl, whisk. Dice 6 strawberries and add to bowl; add mixture to ice cream maker and start.
• Pour 1/4 to 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar to a small saucepan. Heat on medium heat for 30 minutes until the vinegar is a very heavy syrup.
• Slice more strawberries and add to a bowl of your ice cream. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the strawberries.
