Blackberry Lavender Chevre Ice Cream

June 29, 2015 by Kayley 20 Comments

By now you may have noticed that I have a wee bit of an obsession with Lavender and ice cream. I’m always looking for new ways to incorporate it, always dreaming up flavor combinations where it can shine.

My latest favorite is this Blackberry Lavender Chevre Ice Cream.

Yes, Chevre. Because, if you also hadn’t noticed, I also have an obsession with goats cheese. And maybe, just maybe, if I refer to it as ‘Chevre’ in this recipe instead of goats cheese, I can get away with it.

I know. You’re rolling your eyes and thinking “It’s exactly the same thing!”. But it makes me feel a little less obsessed as well as a bit more diverse, so humor me, eh?

Blackberry, Lavender, and Chevre(ok…goats cheese) go together so nicely and make on dreamy, creamy, floral-y fruity ice cream.

The goats cheese adds a tangy, creamy element, while the lavender adds floral notes and the blackberry brings an earthy richness to the table.

Make sure to use the sweetest blackberries you can. If they aren’t very sweet they may add a little too much bitterness to the ice cream.

Do use a food grade Lavender Oil for this ice cream. I use one by doTERRA that I love. If you are unsure about using lavender in ice cream, start with adding just one drop to your ice cream base and tasting. You can always add more if you like the direction things are going, but you can take it out once its in. So pour your drops carefully 😉

    This is gorgeous, as always, and I love that you used goats cheese. We had goats for a few years and I fell in love with it! Pinned!

      Thanks Tori! I wish I had goats! I wouldn’t mind all of that goats milk just waiting to be turned into cheese 😉
