Warning: Lobster ice cream may cause jaws to drop and eyebrows to raise. Proceed with caution if you are opposed to the idea of combining seafood and dessert. It's not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach!

1

Gather the Ingredients

First things first, let's gather the necessary ingredients. You'll need: fresh lobster meat (about 1 cup), heavy cream (2 cups), whole milk (1 cup), granulated sugar (3/4 cup), egg yolks (4), vanilla extract (1 tsp), and a pinch of salt.

2

Cook the Lobster

Time to cook the star ingredient! Steam or boil the lobster until it's fully cooked. Let it cool, then remove the meat from the shell and chop it into small pieces. You want those lobster chunks to shine in every bite!

3

Prepare the Ice Cream Base

In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, and sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a gentle simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly pour about half of the hot cream mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly. This tempers the eggs and prevents them from curdling. Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.

4

Infuse with Lobster Flavors

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and the chopped lobster meat. Let the mixture sit for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to mingle and develop. Trust me, this infusion step is crucial for maximum lobsterliciousness!

5

Chill and Churn

Once the mixture has cooled, cover it and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until thoroughly chilled. Then, pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. It's like a lobster dance party in your freezer!

6

Freeze and Savor

Transfer the freshly churned lobster ice cream into a container and freeze for a few hours, or until it's firm enough to scoop. Don't forget to lick the ice cream scoop before you wash it! When you're ready, grab a spoon, marvel at your culinary daring, and savor the unique taste and texture of your Lobster Ice Cream creation.
