Unique Recipe-- Roquefort and Honey Ice Cream

From David Lebovitz

Ingredients:
6 tablespoons honey
4 ounces (110 gr) Roquefort
1 cup (250 ml) heavy cream
1 cup (250 ml) milk
4 large egg yolks
a few turns freshly-ground black pepper

Directions:
1. In a small saucepan warm the honey, then set aside.
2. Crumble the Roquefort into a large bowl. Set a mesh strainer over the top.
3. In a medium saucepan, warm the milk.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg yolks, whisking constantly.
5. Scrape the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan.
6. Over medium heat, stir the mixture constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula, scraping the bottom as you stir, until the mixture thickens and coats the spoon.
7. Pour the custard through the strainer and stir it into the cheese. Stir until most of the cheese is melted (some small bits are fine, and rather nice in the finished ice cream.) Stir in the cream and the honey, and add a few turns of black pepper.
8. Chill custard thoroughly, then freeze in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

use fruit with great content material of fiber:

Raspberries, strawberries, blueberries and kiwi are large in fiber (and taste so high quality) and in summer season are for sale from native markets. Fiber is healthful and helps in bodyweight control.
Also use quality ice cream maker to build better taste.
