Soy quince ice cream with vanilla and ginger: three soy products are packed into this dessert! It is said to help reduce hot flashes during menopause.

Ingredients

  • 4 very fresh egg yolks
  • 50 g sugar
  • 10 g ginger (1 piece)
  • 1 Vanilla bean
  • 250 ml soy cream
  • 250 ml soy drink (soy milk)
  • 125 g soy yogurt alternative
  • 0.5 Organic lemon
  • 250 g quince jam (glass; preferably organic)
  • Lemon balm (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Separate the eggs (use the whites elsewhere). Place egg yolks with sugar in a bowl and beat with hand mixer whiskers into a light, frothy cream.

  2. 2.

    Peel the ginger and slice it thinly. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds.

  3. 3.

    Heat ginger and vanilla seeds with soy cream and soy drink in a pot until boiling.

  4. 4.

    Remove from heat, let cool slightly (the liquid must not boil anymore) and whisk into the egg yolk mixture.

  5. 5.

    Return the mixture to the pot and gently warm over low heat while stirring constantly until it begins to thicken.

  6. 6.

    Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl, let cool, then fold in the soy yogurt alternative.

  7. 7.

    Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker for about 1½ hours (alternative: see tip below).

  8. 8.

    Squeeze the lemon. Measure out 2–3 tablespoons of juice and whisk it smooth with quince jam in a small bowl.

  9. 9.

    Stir the lemon‑quince mix into the frozen ice cream to create a marbled pattern, form into balls, and serve.
