Foraged black walnut ice cream… I will skip the curing of the black walnuts step, but these were made into ice cream in less than 24 hours after cracking.

2 cups of heavy whipping cream scalded on the stove top with about a cup of fresh black walnuts mixed in. Kept warm/hot for about 20 minutes. Then cooled and refrigerated overnight to allow the flavor of the black walnuts to infuse the cream.
Next day, added 14 oz of sweetened condensed milk. Churned and froze (solid pieces were strained then mixed back in at the end of the churning).

Served with salted dates. Unbeatable.

    Love Black Walnuts, but that sounds greasy to me.

    I haven’t made black walnut ice cream but tried it at a local shop. Paired with banana ice cream, it was a dead ringer for banana bread. I’d love to make a variant of black walnut ice cream with leather honey, buckwheat honey, or black strap molasses.
