NOTES
1. Asparagus - You can use green or white asparagus for this ice cream. When eating green asparagus, you get a subtle sweet and bitter taste combined with an earthy taste. The white asparagus are milder and less pronounced in taste.
2. Cream - Make sure you use whipping cream. Some creams are only pourable, and you don't want to use these.
3. Serving -You can probably scoop it right away when you serve within 24 hours after freezing. Otherwise, it will be 5 minutes before you can scoop it nicely.
4. Ice cream machine - If you want to use an ice cream maker, that's also possible. Follow the manufacturers' instructions to prepare it. When the ice cream is frozen, store it in a container in the freezer.
5. Storage -You can store homemade asparagus ice cream for up to 1 month. If you see ice crystals on top, you should discard the ice cream.
6. Nutritional value - I have assumed you can fill four coupes with this. The nutritional values are then per coupe. So, for example, if you eat just a scoop of ice cream, the nutritional values will be lower.
