From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Savory Ice Cream is a type of Ice Cream that is flavored with savory ingredients, as opposed to the traditional sweet flavors. This style of ice cream has gained popularity in recent years, with many ice cream makers experimenting with flavors such as Basil, Olive Oil, and Cheese.

History[edit | edit source]

The concept of savory ice cream dates back to the 18th century, when American and French chefs began experimenting with savory flavors in their ice cream recipes. However, it wasn't until the 21st century that savory ice cream began to gain widespread popularity, with many high-end restaurants and ice cream shops offering their own unique takes on the concept.

Preparation[edit | edit source]

Savory ice cream is typically made in the same way as traditional ice cream, with a base of Milk, Cream, and Sugar. However, instead of adding sweet flavorings such as Vanilla or Chocolate, savory ingredients are used. These can range from herbs and spices to more unusual ingredients such as Truffles or Caviar. The ingredients are usually infused into the milk and cream before the mixture is churned into ice cream.

Varieties[edit | edit source]

There are many different varieties of savory ice cream, with flavors varying greatly depending on the ingredients used. Some popular flavors include Basil, Black Pepper, and Blue Cheese. More adventurous flavors include Garlic, Olive Oil, and even Bacon.

Serving[edit | edit source]

Savory ice cream is often served as a palate cleanser between courses in a meal, or as a unique dessert option. It can also be used as a topping for savory dishes, adding a unique flavor and texture contrast.
