Poppy seed and cinnamon waffles with ClemenGold, white chocolate and ginger ice cream

Serves: 4
Cooking Time: 1 hour + 1 hour, to freeze

Ingredients

  • Ice cream

  • 580ml (2 cups) fresh cream
  • 250ml (1 cup) milk
  • 5ml (1 tsp) ground ginger
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 100g sugar
  • seeds from ½ vanilla pod
  • zest of 4 ClemenGolds
  • juice of 5 ClemenGolds
  • 150g white chocolate

  • Waffles

  • 2 eggs
  • 280g self-raising flour
  • 5ml (1 tsp) baking powder
  • 125ml (½ cup) sunflower oil
  • 250ml (1 cup) milk
  • 180ml (¾ cup) buttermilk
  • 45ml (3 tbsp) sugar
  • 2,5ml (½ tsp) salt
  • 15ml (1 tbsp) ground cinnamon
  • 30ml (2 tbsp) poppy seeds
  • zest of 1 ClemenGold, to garnish
  • small handful fresh mint leaves, to garnish

Instructions

1

For the ice cream, gently heat 500ml (2 cups) cream, the milk and ginger in a saucepan over high heat. Remove from heat just before it reaches boiling point.

2

Whisk the yolks and sugar together, then add the warm cream mixture. Whisk to combine, then pour back into the saucepan. Using a wooden spoon, stir over a low heat until it thickens and forms a smooth custard. The mixture should be able to lightly coat the back of the spoon. Stir in the vanilla seeds and ClemenGold zest and juice.

3

In a separate bowl, combine the chocolate and remaining 80ml cream and melt it in a double boiler, making sure the water in the pot does not touch the bottom of the double boiler. Whisk into the ice-cream mixture and allow to cool completely. Once cool, churn it in an ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions, then place in the freezer for at least 1 hour.

4

For the waffles, whisk all of the ingredients together until smooth. Heat the waffle iron and bake until the waffles are golden and crisp, 2 – 3 minutes. Serve the warm waffles with a generous scoop of ice cream on top and garnish with zest and mint leaves.

Notes

Make the most delicious ice-cream sandwiches by placing a scoop of the ClemenGold ice cream in between two crunchy choc-chip biscuits. The ClemenGold and chocolate combination is a match made in heaven.
