Had a divine licorice(?sp) ice cream at restaurant, nasty colour but tasted wonderful, sny onr with any ideas how to do this at home. Tried chopping good licorice through good vanilla ice cream-definitely not the same!!
I have made it quite often before. I use good licorice and chop it up into small bits then add it to the cream and milk mix. It dissolves enough to flavour and colour the ice cream. You can add a star anise to infuse more flavour. Then just carry on as per normal ice cream making.
