Ingredients

  • 700 g whole milk
  • 120 g sugar
  • 50 g glucose
  • 6 g gelatin
  • 200 g DZJiNG Pastiche

Mint oil, za’atar, candied yuzu

Preparation

Preparation of the ice cream

  • Heat the whole milk together with the sugar, glucose and DZJiNG Pastiche while stirring until everything is completely dissolved. Do not let the mixture boil.
  • Meanwhile, soak the gelatin in cold water until soft.
  • Squeeze out the gelatin and dissolve it in the warm mixture. Mix well so that the gelatin is fully absorbed.
  • Let the mixture cool and then let it rest overnight in the refrigerator for optimal structure and flavor development.
  • Then turn the ice cream in an ice cream maker to a creamy texture.

Za’atar crumble

  • Make a classic crumble or shortcrust pastry crumble and work in Za’atar spices for a spicy, aromatic touch.
  • Bake until golden brown and let cool completely.

Mint oil

  • Make a fresh green oil based on mint or peppermint, matching the botanicals of DZJiNG Pastiche.

Finishing

  • Serve a quenelle or scoop of the Pastiche ice cream on a layer of Za’atar crumble.
  • Finish with a few drops of mint oil and candied yuzu or lemon for a fresh citrus accent.
