Stilton ice cream salad
I did what so many do, I bought a kitchen gadget and I used it once. It was an ice cream machine and I haven’t had time to think of ice cream over the holidays but left with a stash of cheese after Christmas I thought about cheese ice cream, to be more specific, stilton ice cream.
Stilton is a wonderfully rich, blue veined cheese. I searched for a recipe but they all had what seemed like too much sugar so I thought I would try and create my own recipe.
Stilton ice cream
preparation time 5 minutes
cooking time 0 minutes, about 10-15 minutes for churning
serves 8 as a starter
Ingredients
- 100 gr or 3.5 oz stilton cheese
- 1 1/2 dl cream
- 1 tbsp honey
Heat up the cream and melt the cheese in it along with the honey. Once this is done place in the ice cream machine and churn. Once done place in the freezer and take it out ten minutes before serving.
I did the stilton ice cream for a salad. I wanted classic flavours and started to slice an apple very thinly and I dried it in the oven.
Leave it in the oven at 140C or 285F until it is dry and crispy.
I shaved slices of celery with the potato peeler and plated up. Before serving I added roasted pecan nuts. It made for a classic but fun salad and the stilton ice cream was so good, I can’t wait to experiment making more ice creams.
I had never thought of using ice cream in a salad before but I like the idea of savoury ice creams. if you have any ideas please feel free to let me know and I would be happy to give them a go.

Hello lovely, beetroot ice cream?
hi Kat
That is an idea! When are you coming next? 🙂 x
This is my first time for a savoury ice cream. I think it’s good and I think I’ll be up for another round. 😀 Thanks for joining this week’s FF#101 and I hope you have a good time. xx
hi Juhls
I searched for quite some time but all ice creams had sugar in them but this worked out even if I only used a little honey. I can’t wait to try more savoury ice cream recipes!
Thank you for co hosting the best foodie party around! 🙂
You are so creative. I have an ice cream machine, but I would never have dreamed to make a savory ice cream. I love stilton and can only imagine how delicious this came out. If you use the word salad it’s healthy right? Happy FF Petra!
The stilton ice cream was so creamy and I took it out of the freezer to become nice and soft, I could have eaten more with a spoon I have to admit!
I can’t wait to make some crazy ice creams! And of course salads are healthy! ha ha great thinking 🙂
Happy FF!
Stilton is not for me.. Great idea though! Happy Fiesta Friday 101
hi Mr Fitz
Stilton is an acquired taste. I had so much of it and wanted to make something a little different 🙂 Thanks for co hosting FF!! 🙂
I can’t do any cheese! It doesn’t like me!
I love any blue cheese but I am not sure about ice cream. Guess I will just have to get out my cuisinart ice cream maker and give it a try 🙂
hi Judi
I wasn’t sure but the cream and honey worked really well, if you don’t want to make ice cream I think the cheese, cream and the honey. Stilton is every so slightly sharp and the cream mellows it so nicely! 🙂
I think this must be so rich and flavourful! This is genius, Petra!
hi Julianna
You don’t need a lot of the ice cream to add a lot of flavour and it is so nice with the shaved celery! Classic flavours 🙂 x
This sounds amazing! I never even thought about savoury ice cream, but your apples sold it to me ☺
hi Steffi
The apples were lovely and crispy, I should have made more of them! It was just an amuse bouche but next time I will make a big salad! 🙂
Oh love stilton and what a beautiful pairing, so unusually creative Petra!
hi Loretta
Thank you. Stilton adds so much and I am glad you like it 🙂
I was just thinking about making a savoury ice cream very recently – can’t remember now what I came up with, but I do remember thinking it would be very original. So I was delighted to find your idea for a salad which sounds both original and very tempting.
hi Hilda
Oh I can’t wait to see a savoury ice cream from you, there are not enough of them! I am sure I will make more of them, I just need to have a think of new combinations, I think it needs crispy textures, there are no limits are there?! 🙂
Interesting creation.. I have never thought of savoury ice-cream before. Looks wonderful! Happy Fiesta Friday!
hi Ahila
I have never made it before but will aim to keep that ice cream machine going with more sweet and savoury recipes! 🙂
Wow! Savoury ice cream works for me!!
I hope you will give it a go, with all your lovely dips and sauces I am sure it would be delicious! 🙂
It must be quite rich is it?
Hi Elaine
Yes you only need a little ice cream/portion! Maybe leave some extra out in case someone what’s more 🙂
🙂 x
Sounds such a fantastic idea! And looks a lovely salad too. I know my River Cottage veg book has a couple of veggie ice creams – beetroot is one, I think the other avocado but could be wrong. They are sweet, though, from memory. I will have to take a look again!
hi Caroline
Beetroot sounds very tempting! And I bet the colour would be amazing! I have seen a few avocado ice creams but yes they all have sugar in them and I like the thought of savoury. It needs a lot more exploring I think!
Am glad you like the salad, it was a perfect starter as so easy to pre prepare and just scoop out when the guests arrived! 🙂
Yummy!
hi Anna
glad you like it! I love cheese and this was naughty but nice! 🙂
Your creativity knows no bounds Petra! This sounds amazing!!
Thank you so much 🙂 The cream made the Stilton very smooth 🙂
mmm – I need to try that!
I hope you will, if you like stilton (or any blue cheese) it is a treat 🙂
