Instructions

Finely chop the licorice and put it in a saucepan.
4 oz. Licorice
Pour in the milk and heat over low heat until the licorice has dissolved. Let cool.
½ cup whole milk
Mix the cream with the sugar until it is yogurt thickness.
1 cup cream, 2 ½ cup sugar
Add Mascarpone, vanilla extract, and melted licorice and mix until it has the thickness of Greek yogurt.
1 cup mascarpone, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Freeze in the freezer for at least 4 to 5 hours.

NOTES

1. Vanilla Extract - For a hint of vanilla flavor. If you can get it, use natural vanilla extract, which has a slightly deeper flavor than artificial vanilla extract. With this recipe, you can make a homemade vanilla extract (and, if you bake a lot, it is highly recommended because you can use this for a reasonable amount of time).

2. Licorice - In this recipe, I chose salty licorice. But sweet licorice or laurel would also be delicious.

3. Serving - You can probably scoop it right out of the freezer if you use it within 24 hours. Otherwise, you may have to let the ice cream stand for 5 minutes before you can scoop nice balls.

4. Ice cream machine - If you want to make this in the ice cream machine, that is also possible. Follow the instructions as given by the manufacturer.

5. Storage

Freezer - You can store the black licorice ice cream for one month. If you see ice crystals appearing on the top in the meantime, you better throw it away.

6. The nutritional value is per person, assuming you fill a coupe with three scoops.
