Author Notes
I remember seeing a recipe for Grana Padano Ice Cream a few years ago on David Rocco's cooking show. It looked so delicious and easy. My version is adapted from WaPo's Parmigiano ‘Gelato’ and inspired by Sarah Jenkins’s Cacio e Pepe recipe here on the site. —mrslarkin
Ingredients
-
1 cup
heavy cream
-
1 cup
finely grated Parmigiano (or a combo of Parm and Grana Padano. I use a microplane grater for super fluffy cheese.)
-
Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
-
Balsamico Tradizionale, for drizzling
-
Very good extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
-
Thin crostini or pita chips, for serving
Directions
-
Heat the cream in a saucepan until just to the boil. Shut off the heat. Stir in the cheese until completely melted. Stir in the pepper. Refrigerate for several hours, or overnight.
-
Using a small ice cream scoop, scoop into balls. Serve with balsamico, olive oil, and extra cracked black pepper, if desired. Spread on toasts and eat.
-
If you don't have Balsamico Tradizionale (it's crazy expensive), do like I do sometimes, and reduce regular balsamic vinegar with a touch of sugar.
