Author Notes
I totally adore pears and parmesan as a combo. And more generic, cheese and fruits.
So I do lots of salads, toasts, appetisers combining the two, in different variations.
Peaches and ricotta, figs and blue cheese, strawberries and brie and so on.
But pears and parmesan seem to have won the battle for my tastebuds. So they are quite often a first choice.
I had heard of parmesan ice-cream before, although never actually had the chance to try one.
Last summer I experimented various ice cream recipes and combos starting from Nigella Lawson's no churn ice-cream.
Most of them came out pretty well, so I figured I must try my favourite fruit and cheese combo too. Really easy to make and so damn tasty. —Cohncentric
