Royalberry Ice Cream Recipe
Royalberry (クイーンベリー Kuīn Berī, lit. "Queen Berry") A raspberry ice cream with a hint of sour hiding under all that sweet. Bladecharge Command Style.
7 Gaspberry
10 Nebula Nectar
8 Birthday Cake
7 Rose Honey
The actual flavor for the ice cream this week was spelled out in the in-game description, so the challenge was in figuring out how to incorporate the other ingredients. I guessed that the Nebula Nectar probably referred to agave nectar, a common sugar substitute that is slightly sour. I decided to remove sugar from the recipe entirely and just use the agave nectar and honey. (Unfortunately, I could only find clover honey at the store. I don't know how much difference it would have made in terms of taste.) I could have made the ice cream a raspberry cake batter ice cream, but then I remembered a dessert I had a long time ago with cupcakes baked into those kiddie cup ice cream cones. I couldn't be bothered to find a way to make a waffle cone stand upright in an oven, so I just froze the cake batter. It turned out pretty good!
Ingredients for raspberry ice cream:
1-1/2 c whole milk
1 c heavy cream
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
4 eggs
1/4 c agave nectar
1/4 c rose honey
3 c raspberries, pureed
In a blender, puree raspberries until smooth. Set aside. In a bowl, beat eggs until fluffy and light in color. Set aside. Combine remaining ingredients in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is brought to just under a boil. Immediately remove from heat. Combine the egg mixture with the milk mixture. Stir well. Fold in the raspberries. Quickly pour the mixture into a 9X5 3-inch pan. Let stand undisturbed for 10 minutes. Place pan in freezer and freeze until firm. Break the frozen mixture into chunks. In a bowl, beat until smooth. Return mixture to pan and freeze until firm. Makes 1 quart.
Fill a waffle cone with cake batter of your choice until there is just enough room left for one scoop of ice cream. Freeze until firm. In waffle cone, place one scoop of ice cream. Top ice cream with strawberry syrup. Garnish with two strawberries for a bow and two chocolate cookies for ears.
