Japanese Miso Paste Ice Cream
White miso paste ice cream has an umami flavor that’s hard to replicate. It has sweetness from the sugar, a creamy consistency from the milk and cream and saltiness from the fermented miso. For this recipe, you need to use an ice cream maker. A Cuisinart ice cream maker will prepare the ice cream for you in less than an hour. But you can use any ice cream maker you have on hand!
