About this recipe

Delight in a dessert that dares to defy convention. This Salted Mushroom Delight elegantly marries the earthy umami of mushrooms with the creamy luxury of vanilla ice cream. Drizzled with caramel and accented by the subtle crunch of nuts, it's a gourmet treat that refreshes and surprises.

Ingredients

  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup fresh mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon caramel sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chopped pecans

Directions

  1. 1

    Allow the vanilla ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature.

  2. 2

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle sea salt over the sautéed mushrooms and let them cool.

  4. 4

    Gently fold the cooled mushroom mixture into the softened ice cream.

  5. 5

    Transfer the mixture back to the freezer until firm, about 10 minutes.

  6. 6

    Drizzle caramel sauce over the ice cream and sprinkle with chopped pecans before serving.

Chef's tip

To enhance the mushroom flavor, consider using dried mushrooms for a concentrated taste, or experiment with different types of mushrooms such as shiitake for a deeper umami profile.
