Rolled Spicy Ice Cream Recipe

Sweet and spicy comes together in this Thai chili pepper rolled ice cream. Toss these hot ones in simple syrup, drop them into a thin homemade ice cream base, and freeze.

First we tossed our chili peppers into a hot pan of simple syrup, letting it all marinate and harden before we crushed it up into bite-sized little morsels. Combine that into a thinly layered baking sheet of your homemade ice cream base, let it freeze overnight, and roll it right up for a kickin’ sweet sensation. This is the kind of recipe where you can add your own personal flare!

Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. For candied Thai Chilis, mix equal amounts of sugar and water into a pan on high heat until the sugar turns an amber color. ​
  2. Once the sugar starts to brown, cut the heat and mix in the chilis.
  3. Pour the mixture onto a silicone mat or parchment paper and set aside to harden. Typically takes an hour to fully set.
  4. Once the candied Thai Chilis have set, break the candy up to pulverize in a food processor. Set aside.
  5. For the ice cream base, mix 1 pint of heavy cream with 1 can of sweetened condensed milk and a pinch of salt and whisk together until combined.
  6. Pour a thin layer of the ice cream base onto a frozen sheet pan and sprinkle the candied chili crumb evenly on top.
  7. Pop in the freezer overnight.
  8. When ready to consume, use a flat spatula to scrape the ice cream into little rolled logs off the sheet pan.

Enjoy your sweet, creamy and spicy ice cream! ​
