Blue Moon Ice Cream
Although I’m not a fan of artificial colours or flavours, I had a request to make Blue Moon Ice Cream. This recipe was invented in the 1950s in the USA and has a mildly fruity, creamy flavour. There are many variations of this dessert, but this one is creamy and fruity.

Ingredients
- 3 egg yolks
- 2 cups thickened cream
- 1 cup full cream milk
- 3/4 cup sugar divided
- 1 tsp raspberry flavouring
- 5 drops blue food colouring
Instructions
- Whisk yolks with 1/4 cup sugar until pale in colour.
- Heat on medium-high: milk, cream and remainder of sugar in a large saucepan. Once the milk is simmering remove from heat (don't allow to boil).
- Slowly whisk 1 cup of the milk into the yolks, all the while whisking then pour back into the saucepan while still whisking.
- Continue heating the custard base on a medium heat until it thickens (about 5 minutes). Don't allow to boil. When the base coats the back of a spoon it is ready.
- Remove from heat and pour through a strainer into a bowl. Stir in the raspberry flavouring and colour.
- Transfer to an airtight container and place in fridge to cool for at least 3 hours (preferably overnight).
- Add to ice cream machine and churn following manufacturers instructions.
- Once churned, add to airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours until the required hardness is achieved.
