Bergamot Ice Cream
Bergamot ice cream is a truly special and refreshing summer dessert made from the rare and aromatic bergamot citrus fruit. Bergamot is best known for flavoring Earl Grey tea, but few people know that it is also excellent for desserts. This unique fruit, with its slightly tart and floral aroma, harmonizes fantastically with the silky texture of ice cream. For an even more unique taste experience, try complementing it with a little honey or lavender!

Preparation Steps
1
Thoroughly wash the bergamot oranges, zest them, and then juice them. Be careful not to zest the white pith, as it can be bitter.
2
In a medium bowl, combine the bergamot juice and zest with the lemon juice and vanilla extract. This will enhance the citrus aroma of the fruit.
3
In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Do not overwhip.
4
Gently fold the whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk and powdered sugar until you have a smooth and creamy mixture.
5
Add the bergamot mixture to the cream base, then gently fold until all ingredients are well combined.
6
Pour the mixture into an airtight container and place in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely frozen.
7
Before serving, let the ice cream stand at room temperature for 5 minutes to make it easier to scoop.
