If you are one of those, as I am, that love the heady almost erotic taste and aroma of licorice then you will love, love, love this ice cream! This is a spice infused ice cream made from my love of Star Anise, a wonderfully versatile spice that is used in Chinese cooking mostly for its excellent companionship with savory meats.
So into this spice am I that I have been experimenting with Star Anise in sweet foods, in my baking for one and now in my ice cream making. So here is our Star Anise Ice Cream, 八角雪糕, a wowzer of an cool luscious licorice treat with the spice's exotic and distinctive aroma nestled snugly against a velvety smooth and creamy ice cream. Yummilicious!
