Sea Salt Ice Cream
http://www.geekychef.com/2009/01/sea-salt-ice-cream.html
From the Kingdom Hearts II video game
Ingredients:
Directions:
Separate the eggs into two good sized bowls and beat the egg whites until stiff. Mix the egg yolks and sugar until thick. Slowly bring milk to boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Pour hot milk into yolk/sugar mixture, slowly, only a little at time, and mix well. Pour milk/yolk/sugar mixture back into pot and heat on medium until thicker to make a custard. Do not boil. Pour custard in with beaten egg whites and mix well. Add sea salt (keeping adding salt until it tastes salty sweet). Put mixture in fridge to cool. Once cool, add cream, vanilla and coloring to mixture. Freeze, following your ice cream maker’s instructions. If you wish, get some ice pop molds. Spray the inside of these with very little PAM spray (or something similar). Then pour the ice cream into the molds right after it comes out of the ice cream maker. Pop the lid on and the stick in and freeze for at least two hours.

I've never made ice cream before, so I did you guys a favor and found this recipe elsewhere. This ice cream mixes the salty taste of sea salt with the sweet tastes of cream and sugar. Apparently, Kingdom Hearts II director Tetsuya Nomura had this ice cream on a trip to the Tokyo Disneyland Resort and liked it so much he decided to work with Disney to put it in the games. The characters of Kingdom Hearts II can often be seen eating and talking about this delicious salty-sweet dessert. Enjoy it with your best buddy at twilight.
Ingredients:
2 eggs
2 c. milk
1/3 cup sugar
1 t. vanilla
1 c. heavy whipping cream
sea salt to taste
blue food coloring (optional)
ice pop molds (optional)
ice pop molds (optional)

I might sound younger than I am, but 'This is way cool', and I am glad you decided to blog...we need you here to balance things out...I am a food geek in so many ways, but you will keep me up on things I cannot...Awesome
ReplyDeleteLove your recipes! And your blog! Hope word spreads about the geeky chef...
ReplyDeleteThank you both! I'm glad I can bring something new to the table (no pun intended) with all the amazing food blogs out there. Hopefully I'll be worthy someday!
ReplyDeleteYour're great - love it! This makes me think of salt-water taffy (very popular here on the coast) and I would just love to try it.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love salt water taffy, or pretty much anything that mixes salty and sweet.
ReplyDeleteI can't get the damn popsicles out of the mold! I did every single step up until the ice cream machine part (since I've seen someone make it without the ice cream machine, just making the final mixture and pouring it into popsicle molds). After I froze it, I tried getting it out of the molds but it won't come out. The sticks keep coming out but the ice cream stays inside. Help!
ReplyDeleteplace the mold in warm water for a very short period of time (10-20 seconds) this melts the outside, but keeps the inside frozen
DeleteOh man, usually the PAM works for me...
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I can suggest, and this might depend on the kind of molds you have, but have you tried running warm water over the outside of the molds? That might melt the outside of the popsicles enough to dislodge them. Hope this helps!
this is just to specify- but when you say freeze following ice cream makers instuctions, do you mean use an ice cream maker? (truthfully i feel kind of foolish asking, but i just want to make sure)
ReplyDeleteNever never never feel stupid for asking questions. Other people simply lack the courage to ask...
Deleteok- never mind, i re-read your post and now feel completely stupid, sorry for asking suck a silly question.
ReplyDeleteon another note- i really love this recipe and can't help but thank you for putting it up. :)
delicious
Thanks for the recipe, i need it for AkuRoku day.

DeleteWhat's the best food coloring combo to get the color in the picture?
ReplyDeleteYou should probably just add each drop of blue food coloring one at a time, and stir the entire thing so that the color spreads evenly before adding the next drop. This will allow you to chose whichever shade of blue you find fitting.
Delete7 drops blue, one drop green. can add extra drop of blue depending on the exact tone of your food coloring. you want the arctic/ice blue color. therefore you have to add more blue than you do green, as it is a bluer shade of turqoise.
DeleteOMG its sea salt ice cream!!! XD ive been looking 4 a recipe THAN U THANK YOU THANK U!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy husband just returned from Japan and had this ice cream and raved about it. Thanks for the scoop!
ReplyDeleteim cool
ReplyDeleteEwwww. Yucky! That's nasty man. And isn't kingdom hearts a frikin' disney game! uggh! Grow up, blabies! - -0
ReplyDeleteShut. Your. Mouth.
Delete-.- kingdom hearts is fabulous
DeleteGrow up? No way! Even though it's Disney, it's the best game I'he played, so shut your trap before I drown you in chocolate.
DeleteWhat's wrong with Kingdom Hearts being a Disney game? If you ask me, you just sound stupid saying that. Why the heck are you on here if you hate Kingdom Hearts anyway?! :/
DeleteYea... what's the purpose of acting like a douche? Kingdom Hearts is an amazing game, and if you haven't tried the icecream then just shut your mouth before one of us uses a keyblade to lock it shut.
DeleteJeez.
Isn't that what makes KH awesome? Without the addition of Disney, Kingdom Hearts would just be another Final Fantasy game.
DeleteSomebody needs to sic some Heartless on that guy.
DeleteI am going to drown you in melted sea salt ice cream. Then see if you can talk.
DeleteGrow up my ass. Kingdom Hearts has played a big part in my life, hate on KH and you can die for all I care.
DeleteHEY! Not cool man! Not cool! Have you ever played KH? Don't knock it till you try it!"
DeleteWondering why that person was even looking at this recipe if he's not a KH fan.. :I
DeleteI didn't think it was possible for someone to hate KH! I mean why are you even looking at this recipe?
DeleteHater's gonna hate. :|
DeleteHahaha, he doesn't know Kingdom Hearts is a collaboration between Disney AND Square Enix, the company that made the Final Fantasy series and the Parasite Eve franchise. Haha, he doesn't know how deep the storyline of KH is. What a Nobody!
Delete*wink*
Say you hate Kingdom Hearts to my brother and expect a butt whopping. Now I want to try sea salt ice cream.
DeleteKingdom Hearts is awesome and anyone who says it sucks well hasn't played it yet and realised the awesomeness
Deleteokay first off, you're a faggot. kingdom hearts is about the kingdom hearts storyline, it just has the added bonus of disney characters. Its actually an in depth plot. Secondly, you havnt even tried it. Do you like saltwater taffee? sea salt has a very diff flavor than regular salt. Remember, every food you love - there used to be a time when you had never tried it before and gave it a shot. dont be a dumbass.
Deletecould have been said without the homophobic slur tbh - just makes kingdom hearts fans look like raving angry lunatics.
DeleteBut if their comment was about the salt being gross, they never had Sea Salt Caramel which is lit af. Starbucks has an amazing mocha and hot chocolate with toffee nut, caramel, mocha, a caramel drizzle with a sprinkle of sea salt.
Jk! I love dis recipe. And disney rocks! --0 You can never be too young for disney!--0
ReplyDeleteold*
DeleteEver since my 5 year old brother saw this, thats all hes asked for.
ReplyDeleteThank you for making my life a bit harder and alot more awesome!
The same happened when my 17 year old brother saw this :)
DeleteI made this stuff once and it was delicious, but I put too much salt in it...so be careful with the salt! Words of wisdom from my mother, she's always telling me: "You can always have more, but you can't put it back!" It's true with the sea salt.
ReplyDeleteGO EASY ON IT AT FIRST. XD
And as to the anonymous who said that KH is for kids...obviously they've never played. ;)
The recipe is real the director for Kingdom Hearts 2 Nomura went to Tokyo DisneySea and ate the seasalt icecream.
ReplyDeleteyeah im 25 years old and i play it so yeah peace
ReplyDeletesea salt ice cream yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSQUEE. I LURV CHU!
ReplyDeleteSeriously! I went to Tokyo Disney Sea and they didn't have any the day I was there. I've been dying to try this stuff for months and now I finally can! Thanks!!!
I'm going to try this out now, it's 34 degree's and i think it would be a great way to test my taste buds! Kudos. Kudos for an amazing recipe.
ReplyDeleteHa I love Kingdom Hearts, im totally doing this. My 16th birthday is saturday and im sooooo making this.
ReplyDeleteI just finished making it, im not sure if it was a little too warm but it had this odd taste to it, but it wasn't a bad taste. I've been a Kingdom Hearts fan since the day it came out and one day when i was playing 358/2 days i decided to see if it existed and found the recipe right away and of course had to try it
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna make some of this right away, sounds great and since ive played kingdom hearts ive wanted some :P
ReplyDeleteKINGDOM HEARTS!!! is there anywhere I can just buy this stuff? cuz I DO NOT cook... yeah I'm currently obsessed with Kingdom Hearts and in the games (especially 358/2 Days) theres a lot of emphasis on sea salt ice cream... I'd love to try it!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to see it in the US.. but judging by past comments I believe Disney Tokyo has it at their park. You might be best asking someone else to help you out xD
DeleteOMG!!! I cant wait to try this! Thankx Geeky Chef!!! :)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to "Birth by Sleep" :)
ReplyDeleteHow much salt should I use? (open to anyone)
ReplyDeleteHaha. My fave taffy is Sea Salt. I bet it'll be amazing.
ReplyDeleteI'm 18 years old, play KH, am a rabid ROXAS fangirl, and bought a DS purely to play 358/2 Days. Can't WAIT for KH: BBS! And Geeky Chef posted from KH Insider.
Can't WAIT to cosplay Roxas!
Yes, another one like me! ROXAS!!!
DeleteRoxas and Axel..? <:3
Delete@:How much salt should I use? (open to anyone)
ReplyDeleteSlowly add salt in. Taste if it's salty sweet or not with a small spoon and if it's okay, you add the rest of the recipe.
I'm an Axel fan, and i need 2 try this! THNX!
ReplyDeleteHope you don't mind but I posted a link to this recipe on my blog.
ReplyDeleteIt was so delicious!!!
Thank you so much for putting this up here! My friend X and I have been searching and searching and searching to no avail for this recipe until I found you! Thank you thank you thank you thank you!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I'm going to make some this weekend with my friend Dannielle. She's a kingdom hearts fan so I can't wait to tell her!
ReplyDeleteI was looking every where for this recipe! thanks a ton!
ReplyDeleteP.S. a mana potion recipe would be cool 2!
ROFL! Sounds awesome! Wonder how it'll taste...
DeleteHey! A big arigatou to you for posting this! Me and my best friends were thinking of things to sell at our school fundraiser and this is perfect! Arigatou!
ReplyDeleteugh is there a way to do this without an ice cream maker?!?
ReplyDeleteRestating the question ^all the way up there, how do you get the specific color in the picture? it would be nice to get it the right color.
ReplyDeleteThanks in advance(:
-an anonymous person(but you already knew that)
10 drops of blue 2 of green
DeleteI've read that you add twelve drops of blue food coloring and three drops of green =] Having to have an ice cream maker sucks though, but I'm sure there are ways around it! Thank you for the recipe ^-^
ReplyDeletewow. that's awesome. i want some sea salt ice cream now! xD
ReplyDeleteI need this. NOW. Like, my LIFE depends on this.

ReplyDeletethis is amazing. i cannot wait to try it. however, I do not have an ice cream maker. how do I make this without one and still use the ice pop molds?
ReplyDeleteI'd really appreciate an email or something explaining how to do so, if it is possible. thanks so much!
sorry I removed my previous post because there was not an email address for you to reach me. I'm obviously not going to post it here because that would be stupid, but you can maybe go onto my blogger? i don't knowwww i don't know how this stuff works lol but i guess you'll figure it out if you want to :) thanks a bunch if you decide to try to help me!
Me and my older sister made sea salt icecream a few days ago, but we had a different recipe that didn't have the part of how to make it into popsicles. I'll show this to her for the next time my cousins come. Thnx!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHOLY CHEESE THIS ACTUALLY EXISTS!?!?!?!?
ReplyDelete...so sea-salt ice cream is really more like frozen custard then ice cream?
ReplyDeleteHey, dumbass, its called SEA SALT ICECREAM, not sea salt custard!
DeleteDude, chillax. It's just a recipe. People can interpret it as they want.
DeleteI think ice cream IS pretty much frozen custard .....
DeleteTake a look at the ingredients of your ice cream next time you buy some, most have eggs.
DeleteMy friend's and I are all KH cosplayers and on of my friends just came back for the first time from Japan after 6 months. We're going to use this recipe to make the ice cream then go out into a park and sit on a hill at sunset and play KH music in the background.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the recipe!
im a food geek. the only problume is that i can't stop cooking... my parent's have to hide all the supplies to stop me lol
ReplyDeletethis is a REALLY good recipe, its salty and sweet. my sister isn't fond of it by everyone else is....
the only problume is it melts fast....
Currently waiting for the mixture to cool. I got the taste so it starts sweet and then you get a salty aftertaste! Yum!
ReplyDeletehow did you do that??
ReplyDeleteAHHHH NEH!!!!~~~~~YEYEYEY~~~-
ReplyDeleteima make this.
and then
HAVE THE BEST
DAY
EVER.
oh man, here i go getting all obsessed over KH2 again ^^
ReplyDeletei am SO making this next AkuRoku day! thank you for the awesome recipe!
(axel rocks :3 )
I'm only 16 and my mom won't let me eat raw egg, is there a version of this recipe that doesn't contain raw egg? I would be extremely grateful if someone could post a recipe that does not contain raw egg.
ReplyDeleteTo the anon above:
ReplyDeleteIts not raw egg. You cook it a bit with the other ingredients.
To the author of this blog:
Your recipies are great and I can't wait to try them all!
For those of you wondering how to make ice-cream without an ice-cream maker -
ReplyDeleteYou'll need:
- 1 large tin with a lid*
- 1 small tin with a lid* (large enough to hold the ice-cream mixture, but small enough to fit inside the large tin with plenty of room all around)
- Crushed ice
- Rock salt (you can use leftover sea salt if you prefer, but it's a bit of a waste as you won't be eating it)
- Duct tape (or something else to make sure the lids stay on the tins)
*Clean coffee tins work really well, but they can be hard to find now that most coffee makers have started using plastic containers.
First, pour the finished ice-cream mixture into the smaller tin and secure the lid on TIGHTLY. Use a bit of duct tape or something else to be sure it'll stay on.
Pour a layer of crushed ice into the larger tin and sprinkle the ice generously with rock salt.
Place the smaller tin in the center of the larger tin, on top of the ice.
Fill the space surrounding the smaller tin with layers of crushed ice and sprinkled rock salt. When you're finished, the smaller tin should be completely surrounded and covered by ice.
TIGHTLY secure the lid on the larger tin, fastening it with duct tape (or something else) to be sure.
Now's the "fun" part - set the large tin on it's side on the floor and roll it back and forth for 30 minutes to an hour, checking occasionally to drain off melted water and add more ice and rock salt. This is most easily accomplished by two people sitting on the floor and rolling the tin back and forth to one another (like playing catch but without the throwing).
When you're done you'll have a finished product that's virtually identical to one made in an actual ice-cream maker. :)
um i heard its 1/2 a tea spoon of salt but i really dont know
ReplyDeleteso post a comment when you people find out
ReplyDeleteHey Geeky Chef! I thought you'd appreciate another fan making this ice cream. My friend made a giant batch of the stuff and it was AMAZING!!! I wasn't particularly salty but still had that tinge, which brought out the flavors of the ice cream itself. Anyway, I hope to enjoy some of you're other recipes =D
ReplyDeleteeeeeee yay i gonna try it right now XD
ReplyDelete<3 axel fan <3
thanks for getting me obsessed all over again...
ReplyDelete:)
(axel friggin' rocks!)
Sweet salty goodness!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely have to try making this. I love the Kingdom Hearts Series.
ReplyDeletemee too
DeleteP.s. nice slowpoke:)
First of all thankyou sooooooo much, <3 Kingdom Hearts forever!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis might be a strange question but where are you from?
The reson I ask is because different countries have different cup and teaspoon volumes so I wan't to make sure I use the right measurements, thanx. /hug
OMG I love kingdom hearts SO MUCH!!!! can't wait to use this recipe and recreate scenes from the game =D Currently playing 358 2 days all over again. THANK-YOU =D
ReplyDeleteCan you make it without an icecream maker?
ReplyDeletedon't have the things i need to make it now. but it's gotta be good if roxas mistok it for friendship
ReplyDeletethank you for this! i actually didnt know this existed but i am a fan of kingdom hearts and thank you so much for the recipe
ReplyDeletePleased to see people are still constantly commenting on this! I'm annoyed that I don't own an ice cream maker but I'm still definitely trying this recipe out for myself. Thank you so much! I really love your website and am interested to see other recipes you have for me to try out.
ReplyDeleteA complete Kingdom Hearts and Sora lover and another (slightly ashammed) Axel fan.
Thank you again!
♥♥♥Thanks for the recipe♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteI love Kingdom Hearts and last week my friend made sea salt ice cream for anime club, but he didn't have ice pop molds and wouldn't give the recipe. Now i can make it myself.♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
When I tried this I only needed 6 drops of blue food colouring and no green, just in case anyone was needing help
ReplyDeleteamen to axel x roxas and sora x riku = sorku x akuroku thanx for the recipe guna use it for any cosplay i will do
ReplyDeleteAwesome!! Thanks for the recipe!! I would love to make this for my sister's birthday tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try. I've been looking at multiple websites and they all seem to have the same basic recipe. I saw the color of some and it seems to work best with 10 drops of blue and 2 drops of green, or somewhere around there.
ReplyDeleteI so want to try this, but what sort of sugar do we use? like grainy sugar, melted sugar, casting sugar, etc.??
ReplyDeletehow many ice creams does this recipe make?
ReplyDeleteMy friend would go crazy if she saw this. She's playing kingdom Hearts so she would enjoy this recipe. Her birthday is coming up soon too...
ReplyDeleteMe & my kid tried this I added a leetle too much salt but otherwise it was very yummy (kinda reminded me of sweet kettle popcorn) and we wiped out the whole bowl. Thanks for a great recipe!
ReplyDeleteis the taste so good as they say?!?!
ReplyDeletei'd love to have one icing on the cake with my friends
not wanna to make one with the flavor icy with salt and sugar
someone already one? it have the same taste roxas said?
You might want to add the direction to temper the egg yolks before adding the hot milk. Add a little of the milk first to get the eggs to assimilate the temperature so that they don't scramble. ^^
ReplyDeleteThanks for finally writing about > "Sea Salt Ice Cream"
ReplyDelete< Liked it!
my web-site; extra resources
Minor adjustment. 1/4 cup sugar will suffice, trust me.. 1/3 only if you have a strong sweet tooth.
ReplyDeleteThere's a couple other recipes asking for 1 whole cup of sugar, big no-no! You'll kill yourself doing that.
ps- Do not use egg whites in ice cream recipes, especially stiffened egg whites. You will end up with curds as the whites do not temper the same way as yolks!!
Deletethere is a clock tower I sit on so this is perfect!!
ReplyDeleteHi,i plan to make my bf's birthday this year kingdom hearts themed and was wondering if any1 knows how many servings this makes? Also i saw a similar recipe using evaporated milk instead of whole milk so im debating on which recipe to use.
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS VILE WHAT THE HELL AM I EATING?!?! IT TASTED LIKE SALTY EGGS!! (TT_TT) DON'T MAKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletetrololololololol
DeleteSounds like you overcooked the eggs, mate.
DeleteShould it taste like cake batter?
ReplyDeleteI personally like it without sugar so it just has a salty taste. i just think that is better.
ReplyDeleteHi I love kingdom hearts and have really been wanting to try this recipe for awhile. So thanks for putting this up here. But I have a question (this may sound stupid) but how long does the milk/yolk/sugar mixture take to thicken?
ReplyDeleteTheir is no real definite time so the best way to check is by dipping a spoon into the mixture and seeing if it coats the back. I use a thermometer and try to keep it from going over 170 F
DeleteOmg I love kingdom hearts! I can't wait to make sea salt ice cream! My fav KM game is 365 days! As I was playing that game I kept thinking where can I get this 'sea salt' ice cream?
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to try this!!! Would anyone give me some advice on the egg whites and milk? I'm not a very good cook, so a bit of help would be nice ^^
ReplyDeletedid anyone else struggle with the milk/yolk/sugar mixture when put into the pot to make thick?
ReplyDeleteMade the version from the cookbook earlier and it turned out awesome. Thank you for giving me a part of my favorite game series too enjoy.
ReplyDeleteWhen you say t. Vanilla, do you mean tablespoon or teaspoon? I'm pretty sure there's a difference, I just wanna make sure I can follow it exactly, cause I can't afford to mess up honestly, I don't have that much money
ReplyDeleteIce cream is my favorite dessert. I cannot live without. It's cold, sweet and delicious.
