Honeyed Pear and Walnut Ice Cream
Rich, creamy honey and goat cheese base, intensely pear-ish vanilla pear butter and caramelized honey walnuts all come together in this marvelously decadent--but not overly fatty--ice cream. This one has a nice balance, as the swirl--of which there is a lot--is virtually fat free. All ounce measurements are for weight unless otherwise noted. This makes two quarts of ice cream, so freeze in batches if your ice cream maker holds less than 2 quarts. If you don't want to make all three components, you certainly don't have to. It won't hurt my feelings if you leave out the nuts or the pear butter, or even both.
