You can adjust the amount of balsamic vinegar depending on the flavour profile you prefer. Your ice cream can have a subtle balsamic back-note, with just a teaspoon of vinegar per litre of cream.

Balsamic Vinegar on Vanilla Ice Cream
Adding balsamic vinegar to pre-made vanilla ice cream creates a delightful contrast of flavours. The vinegar’s acidity cuts through the sweetness of the ice cream, resulting in a balanced and refreshing dessert.
To achieve the best results, use an aged balsamic vinegar, which has a sweeter, more complex flavour. Simply drizzle a small amount over a scoop of vanilla ice cream and enjoy the transformation.
This combination is perfect for those looking to add a gourmet touch to a classic dessert. It’s a quick and easy way to impress your guests with minimal effort. The result is a sophisticated and delicious treat that’s sure to become a favourite.
