FROZEN VANILLA CUSTARD

American-style ice cream uses no eggs, but this is the French style--with eggs! It's rich and creamy and, although traditionally served soft in cones, I prefer to freeze it firm then scoop it.

Time 3h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 large egg yolks
⅔ cup white sugar
1 pinch salt
1 cup whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
2 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Whisk egg yolks, sugar, and salt together until mixture changes from dark golden to pale yellow becomes fluffy.
  • Heat milk and cream in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom. Cook just until mixture starts to simmer when little bubbles begin to appear on the surface, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Whisk a ladleful of milk-cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Add another ladleful and whisk thoroughly before adding the next (this will keep the eggs from cooking). Gradually add the remaining milk-cream mixture and whisk thoroughly. Whisk in vanilla. Cool completely (you can place the bowl in a larger bowl with ice water to cool it faster).
  • Pour cooled mixture into a pitcher; cover. Refrigerate until ice cold or overnight.
  • Pour custard mixture into ice cream maker and process (according to manufacturer's instructions) until custard reaches the consistency of soft ice cream, about 20 minutes. Quickly transfer to a plastic container. Place a piece of plastic wrap over the surface of the custard. Cover container and freeze until custard is firm enough to scoop, at least 3 hours.

OLD-FASHIONED VANILLA FROZEN CUSTARD - CC RECIPE - (3.6/5)



Old-Fashioned Vanilla Frozen Custard - CC Recipe - (3.6/5) image

Provided by á-48655

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 large egg yolks
1/4 cup (1 3/4 ounces) sugar
2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 vanilla bean
One teaspoon of vanilla extract can be substituted for the vanilla bean; stir the extract into the strained custard in step 3.

Steps:

  • 1. Whisk egg yolks, sugar, and milk powder in bowl until smooth, about 30 seconds; set aside. Combine cream, milk, corn syrup, and salt in medium saucepan. Cut vanilla bean in half lengthwise. Using tip of paring knife, scrape out vanilla seeds and add to cream mixture, along with vanilla bean. Heat cream mixture over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until it steams steadily and registers 175 degrees, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat. 2. Slowly whisk heated cream mixture into yolk mixture to temper. Return cream-yolk mixture to saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and registers 180 degrees, 4 to 6 minutes. 3. Immediately pour custard through fine-mesh strainer set over large bowl; discard vanilla bean. Fill slightly larger bowl with ice and set custard bowl in bowl of ice. Transfer to refrigerator and let chill until custard registers 40 degrees, 1 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally. 4. Transfer chilled custard to stand mixer fitted with whisk and whip on medium-high speed for 3 minutes, or until mixture increases in volume to about 3 3/4 cups. Pour custard into airtight 1-quart container. Cover and freeze until firm, at least 6 hours, before serving. (Frozen custard is best eaten within 10 days.)

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, full-fat milk, cream, and eggs. High-quality vanilla extract or vanilla beans will also make a big difference in the flavor of your custard.
  • Cook the custard slowly and carefully: Stir the custard constantly over medium-low heat to prevent it from curdling. If you see any lumps, remove the custard from the heat and whisk vigorously until they disappear.
  • Chill the custard thoroughly before freezing: This will help to prevent the custard from crystallizing and becoming icy.
  • Freeze the custard in a covered container: This will help to prevent freezer burn.
  • Thaw the custard overnight in the refrigerator before serving: This will give the custard a chance to soften and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

Frozen vanilla custard is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own frozen vanilla custard at home. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
