Nutmeg Ice Cream
Grenadian custard ice cream scented generously with freshly grated nutmeg.
About Nutmeg Ice Cream
Nutmeg ice cream is a characteristic Grenadian dessert built around one of the Spice Island's defining crops. This profile follows International Cuisine's cooked custard version with freshly grated nutmeg.
Fresh nutmeg brings warm, woody and lightly sweet spice to a rich milk-and-cream base. Egg gives the custard depth, while vanilla supports the spice without displacing it.
The churned ice cream is smooth, dense and pale cream in colour, with fine brown flecks of grated nutmeg throughout. It melts to a silky custard consistency and carries a pronounced aromatic finish.
