I was pondering accompaniments to apple pie: Some people like cheddar cheese
with it, others like vanilla ice cream. While so ruminating, I came across
this thought: Is there any such thing as cheddar cheese ice cream?

A quick Google turned up the fact that Filipinos make an ice cream with
chunks of cheddar cheese, which wasn't really what I had envisioned. Then I
found a recipe by Gale Gand where the cheese is incorporated into the
custard itself:

Turns out that that version of cheddar cheese ice cream is primarily
intended to accompany apple tarts, so I wasn't all that far off the mark.

It strikes me that cheddar-cheese-flavored ice cream could be made even more
easily by making a standard ice cream base and adding powdered cheese to it.
(My local natural food store sells bulk powdered cheese, and Sandra Lee is
continually using the packet from mac & cheese boxes for even more unholy
purposes.) It *could* be done.

Personally, I have no intention of making such a thing. I prefer my apple
pie to be accompanied by any of these other ice creams: vanilla, nutmeg,
cinnamon, ginger, rum raisin, maple, or caramel. But I thought someone here
might like to try it.

Yes it could, indeed. Funny, a friend was just asking me today what she
could do as a dessert with port salut cheese :-)

If I was at a restaurant that featured ANY kind of cheese ice cream, I would
*have* to try it. The only issue I can think of is the cheese might not be
very tasty served so cold.

cheers,

Doesn't seem all that different from a cold cheesecake sort of dish.
<shrug> It might be good.

I am not suprised, considering what else is a *treat* in the Philipines

A few weeks ago, a local restaurant chain in my area (WA) was having a
crabfest- many different crab preparations, including crab ice cream.
Wonder how much they sold?

In Valencia (Spain) this Summer, we found an ice cream parlor with
unusual falvors. I tried Gaspacho ice cream (delicious), tortilla de
patata ice cream (so-so), lentil stew ice-cream (good), and bell
pepper ice cream (very good).
