How to Make Licorice Ice Cream

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually whisk in the milk and cream until smooth.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a simmer. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the anise extract and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the mixture into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to chill completely.
  6. Once chilled, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes.
  7. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to allow it to harden further before serving.
