Foie Gras Ice Cream

“How about foie gras….. can you make foie gras ice cream?”

This was a rather unusual request but Peter wanted to finish his 50th Birthday with something different, something that would match the wines and something that used duck liver!  That would get the table talking.

Sure, let’s give it ago give it a go. Well this dish wasn’t a problem but it did require some thought.  Was this a savoury or a sweet ice cream? Chatting with some mates, a couple of samples were put together. The first was delicious but more of a frozen pate, I decided to try a sweeter version The wines were after all old and sticky. 

The mix could not have too much sugar and just a touch of white chocolate to fill it out, 10% of each in the final mix.  I served with a sharp riesling jelly, white chocolate shards and freeze dried raspberries to compliment and contrast. The reaction was…well empty plates.
