I’m Finnish-American and thus have an outrageous love of salmiakki, or salted black licorice. I made Dana Cree’s Danish Licorice Ice Cream and upped the licorice extract and salt to what I thought were more appropriate levels.
It’s absolutely delicious, exactly what I wanted, and everyone outside my family hates it. Such a sad way to discover your friends lack taste, but more for me!

Here’s the recipe, adapted from Dana Cree’s Danish Licorice Ice Cream:
50g dark brown sugar
50g water
~6g licorice extract
~8g salt
300g cream
365g whole milk
15g skim milk powder
20g dextrose
100g sugar
100g egg yolks
0.5g Avacream stabilizer
Note: I changed the licorice and salt by taste after the based had cooled and cured, so your mileage may vary. I think there’s probably a lot depending on the strength of the licorice extract you use (Cree recommends a brand but they don’t seem to be selling a licorice extract anymore, so I used OliveNation brand).
Note #2: Do not spill licorice extract in your kitchen unless everyone in your household really likes the smell of black licorice; it lasts DAYS.
The thing is that everyone hates licorice outside of northern europe lol. It’s not personal!
Nothing like being a child, eating a candy thinking it is grape flavoured and being met with that dreadful licorice taste… we are all traumatised and with trust issues xD
