GIN, Orange & Ginger Ice-Cream!
As it’s Father’s Day this weekend, I wanted to create a recipe that my own Dad would love. Also as Thomas Dakin was the ‘founding father of gin’, this ice-cream couldn’t be more perfect! Orange and ginger is beautiful with Thomas Dakin gin and with such an easy and quick recipe…this adults only ice-cream is very special!
GIN Ice-Cream Recipe
- 100ml cup water
- 100g granulated sugar
- Peel of half a large orange
- 3 slices of root ginger
- 200ml double cream
- 6 tablespoons icing sugar
- 50ml orange juice
- 50ml Thomas Dakin gin
- 1-2 balls of stem ginger – chopped
Method
- Make the syrup by gently heating the water and sugar together, until dissolved. Add the orange peel and root ginger.
- Take off the heat and leave the syrup until fully cool.
- Whisk the double cream in a large bowl until it thickens.
- Slowly whisk in icing sugar.
- Add your orange juice and GIN.
