Vanilla Ice Cream


Vanilla Ice Cream... Nothing can be more simple and enjoyable as a rich creamy velvety ice cream full of vanilla flavor. This recipe that I have is adapted book Couture Chocolate by William Curley and I use Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans for the best vanilla flavor, definitely beat the crap out of those store bought vanilla ice cream hand down anytime of the day!!

Recipes

500ml        Milk
200ml        Double cream
120g         Castor Sugar
1               Vanilla Pod
120g         Egg yolk (abt 6 yolk)

Methods

  • Put the cream, milk and 60g of the sugar into a saucepan
  • Scrape the seed of the vanilla pod into the saucepan and add the empty pod in as well
  • Bring to a boil and remove from heat, rest for 30 min to infuse the vanilla flavor
  • Whisk egg yolk and sugar in a stand mixer until light in colour (2-3 mins)
  • Slowly pour half of the milk mixture into the egg mixture.. Slowly stir together carefully not to add to much air into the mixture
  • Add the mixture into the remaining milk mixture in the saucepan and return to heat
  • Heat to 82-84 degree C, mixture will be thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon
  • Remove from heat, pass the mixture through a sieve and cool over in bowl place in a ice water bath.
  • Cover mixture with cling wrap and place in fridge overnight
  • Churn mixture in ice cream machine according to manufacturer instructions.
