Another miso moment, this time sweet

If you've never used sweet white miso before and want to have a go the following two recipes are a great place to start – they are both easy.

To begin, a no-churn ice cream – using sweet white miso paste – to explain, it's a Japanese seasoning – fermented soybeans with salt and koji, the resulting paste is used in savoury and sweet dishes. There are different types of miso the sweeter white version includes rice, barley and a smaller quantity of soybeans.

Here goes :

Sweet white miso ice cream


Makes 1 litre of ice cream


100g sweet white miso paste

397g tin condensed milk

300ml double cream


Combine the miso paste and condensed milk in a bowl, mix well so that it loosens. A tip – put the paste in the bowl first and then add the condensed milk gradually. If it doesn't comply then use your hand whisk until smooth. Add the cream and whisk until it begins to thicken.

Decant into suitable containers – I'd suggest you decide on portion control that suits you, so a mixture of small and medium pots. Remember you can always take out more if you need it! Freeze overnight.

Allow the ice cream to soften for 10 minutes before serving.


If you're a fan of the salted caramel flavour you'll like that sweet and salty “hit” the miso gives.

P.s. I first published this recipe in July 2019 so if you'd like to see photos and a Strawberry Miso version too check out the Ice Cream label.


Now for the second recipe – Miso Caramel Sauce ...
