Ingredients

150g panettone, cut into rough cubes
450ml full fat milk
300ml double cream
1 vanilla pod
4 egg yolks
100g caster sugar
75ml Filippo Berio Gusto Fruttato Extra Virgin Olive Oil, plus extra for drizzling

Method

Preheat the oven to 180 °C (Gas Mark 4). Add the panettone to a food processor and pulse it into a coarse crumb. Spread the crumbs on a baking tray and toast for about 10 minutes, stirring once.
Place the milk and cream in a medium pan, split the vanilla pod and add the seeds, and bring to a simmer. Then, add the panettone crumbs. Cover with a lid and let it stand for 1 hour.
Remove the lid and return the mixture to a boil.
Meanwhile, place the egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl and beat them with an electric whisk for about 5 minutes, until the mixture turns pale, thick, and leaves a trail.
With the mixer still running, pour the milk mixture into the egg mixture and beat until combined.
Give the pan a quick rinse and return the mixture to it. Cook over low heat, stirring continuously, for about 4 - 5 minutes, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Do not let the custard boil, or it will scramble.
Pour the mixture into a bowl, stir in the olive oil, cover with cling film, and chill for 2 - 3 hours or overnight.
Churn the ice cream in an ice cream machine; alternatively, pour it into a shallow container and freeze for about 1 hour. Whisk the mixture, then return it to the freezer and repeat this process every hour until the mixture is frozen.
Serve in scoops, finish with a drizzle of Filippo Berio Gusto Fruttato Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
