    Rosemary No Churn Ice Cream Pops

    davis sounds considerably less sexy than napa or san francisco or los angeles. unless you’re familiar with the uc system or live in california, you’ve probably never heard of it. and yet, on a recent trip there (i find myself there a couple times a year to visit my friend), i got inspiration for these rosemary no churn ice cream pops. the rosemary and salted almond ice cream from the good scoop was gently rosemary-y without being like roasted chicken level rosemary, with crunch from the almonds. definitely a sweet ice cream still, but with a little extra oomph.

    aside from it being peak ice cream season (it was 103f in the bay area last weekend...), it's also popsicle week!! billy from wit and vinegar has his annual popsicle week going on, so ofc i'm crashing the party with a melty batch of these. if you don't freeze them until they are rock solid frozen, or if you spend too long taking pics of them in the hot summer heat, they will be uber melty.

    this ice cream is on the sweet and creamy side of things, kind of plain, and then BAM (channeling my inner emeril here), rosemary. plenty of dark chocolate, because that's how you convince rosemary-weary ice cream goers, ie my mom, to give this a try. and because this ice cream tends towards the sweeter side, so white/milk/semisweet would be too sweet here. almonds for crunch and salt. it's a slightly bougie, slightly unusual flavor, perfect for summer.

    A creamy vanilla ice cream base acts as the perfect foil for the slightly woodsy rosemary in these rosemary no churn ice cream pops. #rosemary #nochurnicecream #icecream #dessert

    Rosemary No Churn Ice Cream Pops

    These rosemary no churn ice cream pops are filled with flecks of rosemary, so you know exactly what you're biting into.

    Course: Dessert
    Cuisine: American
    Servings: 10 popsicles
    Calories: 405 kcal
    Ingredients
    • 2 cups cold heavy cream
    • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
    • ½ - 1 teaspoon almond extract or amaretto or to taste
    • 2 tablespoons finely chopped rosemary or to taste
    Assembly
    • 7 ounces chopped dark chocolate
    • ½ cup roasted salted almonds chopped
    Instructions
    1. In a large bowl, beat the cream until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into condensed milk mixture. Fold in the almond extract and rosemary.
    2. Spread into a sheet pan. Freeze until firm, at least 6 hours. Use a cookie cutter or round cup to cut out rounds of the ice cream, and add a popsicle stick into the side of each. Place each pop on a square of wax paper. Freeze until rock solid, and keep in the freezer until ready to use.
    3. Alternatively, you could also pour the mixture into popsicle molds or disposable paper cups. Run the molds under cold water, then gently take the popsicles out (if the stick starts to wiggle around, unattached to the ice cream, stick the mold back in the freezer for a couple of hours before trying to take them out again).
    4. Assembly: Melt the chocolate in a deep container that’s wide enough to accommodate the width of your pop.

    5. Dip the pops into the chocolate, then place on a piece of wax paper. Sprinkle with almonds. Serve immediately or keep in the freezer until ready to serve.
    Recipe Notes

    Ice cream adapted slightly from Everyday Food, June 2011.

    The amount of rosemary is to taste, but keep in mind that the rosemary flavor tends to intensify as the ice cream freezes, and the base may taste weaker than the final ice cream. If you don't want to bite into rosemary, you could let the rosemary steep in the cream overnight in the fridge, then strain it out. I like to keep the rosemary in the ice cream for the pop of green.

        after my last ice cream machine debacle (the paddle got stuck so i had to rescue it but by the time i put it back in place, the ice cream along the machine walls were frozen solid), i'm liking no churn (; downtown davis is really cute, and there's tons of great (and cheap!) food, so i'd recommend it if you're bored one day and want a more unusual day trip.
