1 2 1/2 inch piece fresh ginger , scrubbed
1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened but don't allow to melt
Candied ginger for garnish
Use an aluminum ginger grater or a rasp grater such as a Microplane to grate ginger. Press the grated ginger through a fine strainer using the back of a spoon to press out as much juice as possible.
Place the ice cream in a medium bowl and fold in the ginger juice. Cover the mixture tightly with plastic wrap and refreeze the ice cream until firm, at least 30 minutes.
Serve with a slice of candied ginger.
