Olive Oil Ice Cream
Rich yet refreshing with slight grassy notes, this ultra creamy ice cream is delicious. Just be sure to use extra virgin olive oil. Feel free to use flavor infused oils to vary the flavor profile. Avoid blending olive oil, as it can become bitter. Instead, whisk it in until completely combined.

Calories: 519kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup half n half or cashew milk for dairy-free
- 4 eggs 1 white reserved
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup allulose helps keep the ice cream from freezing hard but you can use stevia glycerite, to taste if you prefer
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum or guar gum, optional, helps improve texture
- 3/4 cup olive oil
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except 1 egg white and the olive oil in a blender and blend until completely smooth. Refrigerate until completely cold, 4 hours.
- Slowly stream the olive oil in while whisking constantly.
- Beat the egg white to soft peaks. Fold into the ice cream base and transfer to an ice cream machine. Process according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Notes
If you do not want to consume raw eggs, you can either buy eggs that are already pasteurized or do it yourself, if you have a sous vide machine. Simply heat to 135ºF for two hours. The egg will have a milky look to the white when you crack it but it is fine.
Makes 2 cups, serving size: 1/2 cups.

Orange Olive Oil Cake
Rich, tender, and flavorful cake infused with orange zest and a slight grassy note of olive oil makes for a delicious and easy dessert. Feel free to use different citrus zests to vary the flavor profile. Or omit the zest and use different infused olive oils, if desired. I like to decorate this by dusting the top of the cake with a bit of powdered monk fruit and edible flowers.
