Lobster Ice Cream - Chef Recipe by Thomas Ege

Ingredients

"Myself and a group Chefs come together regularly to cook at events and every time we challenged each other. One day I cooked a lobster bisque and when I tried it, the flavour was light and sweet, I thought yes that would also be great as ice cream – 75% of my guests loved it. But you have to tell your brain that it's ice cream with croustade taste. Judge after the third try!" – Thomas Ege.
