Description

This dessert is prepared more often than any other dish by Johnson. He showcases it at various culinary forums and festivals, astonishing audiences during his tour at the first Moscow Omnivore. As an additional flavor element, berries—such as blueberries or bilberries—can be added to the hot mixture. Johnson also enjoys using caramelized bread crumbs as a garnish, reminiscent of sand. For this recipe, you will need 200 grams of hay.

Ingredients

Milk - 17 fl oz
Cream - 10.6 oz
Whole egg - 7.1 oz
Sugar - 5.3 oz
Gelatin - 0.2 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Soak the gelatin in water.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the sugar with the egg yolks.

Step 3

Place hay in a pot and light it. The hay should not be too dry and burn instantly like gunpowder; it is better if it is slightly damp and smolders for a while. You can cut the hay yourself in any meadow, or you can buy it at pet stores, where they sell bags of hay for rodents, birds, and other animals. Once the hay has completely burned, pour milk with cream over it.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a boil and strain it. Bring the strained mixture back to a boil and pour it into the egg yolk and sugar mixture.

Step 5

Whisk together, adding the previously soaked gelatin.

Step 6

Chill and churn in an ice cream maker. Alternatively, if you don't have an ice cream maker, place it in the freezer in a container for three hours, stirring the freezing mixture thoroughly every thirty minutes.
