CUSTARD-STYLE VANILLA ICE CREAM



Custard-Style Vanilla Ice Cream image

Egg yolks are the key ingredient in a custard-based ice cream, which explains the yellowish color of a classic French vanilla. This style is ultra-rich, but it can be trickier to make than other types: Custards need constant attention.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 2h50m

Yield about 1 quart of custard-style ice cream

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, seeds scraped out
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
6 large egg yolks
3/4 cup granulated sugar
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Combine the heavy cream, milk, vanilla bean and seeds, and vanilla extract in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the mixture almost reaches a gentle simmer, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Meanwhile, set a fine-mesh sieve in a medium bowl (preferably metal), then set the bowl in a large bowl of ice water; set aside.
  • Whisk together the egg yolks, sugar and salt in a separate medium bowl. Ladle one-quarter of the hot cream mixture into the egg mixture and whisk well. Whisk in another one-quarter of the cream mixture, then pour the cream-egg mixture into the saucepan with the remaining hot cream.
  • Return the saucepan to medium heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon in a figure-eight, until slightly thickened (a thermometer should register 180˚ F), 6 to 8 minutes. If at any point the mixture starts to simmer, remove from the heat, continue stirring, reduce the heat to medium low, then return to the heat (you do not want the custard to thicken too quickly or the eggs to scramble).
  • Immediately strain the custard through the sieve into the bowl set over the ice water. Return the vanilla bean to the custard and let the custard cool, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate until very cold, at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Remove the vanilla bean, then transfer the custard to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's directions until the consistency of soft serve. Transfer to a freezer-safe container, cover and freeze until firm, at least 3 hours.

GELATO-STYLE VANILLA ICE CREAM



Gelato-Style Vanilla Ice Cream image

Gelato is denser than ice cream - it has less air whipped into it - and it's made with more milk than cream. The addition of cornstarch (which is common in Sicilian gelato) gives it a smooth texture and prevents large ice crystals from forming.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 3h10m

Yield about 1 quart of gelato-style ice cream

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons cornstarch
3/4 cup heavy cream
2/3 cup organic cane sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Combine 1/2 cup milk and the cornstarch in a medium bowl; whisk until smooth. Combine the remaining 2 cups milk, the heavy cream, sugar and salt in a medium high-sided saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar, until steaming, 3 to 5 minutes. Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the cornstarch mixture, whisking constantly, then pour the mixture back into the saucepan.
  • Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil, about 5 minutes (it will foam up a bit). Boil, stirring constantly, about 30 seconds, then remove from the heat.
  • Pour the mixture into a medium heatproof bowl. Stir in the vanilla. Let stand at room temperature, stirring occasionally, until the mixture stops steaming, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate until cold, 2 to 3 hours.
  • Stir the mixture, then strain it if it looks lumpy. Transfer to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's directions until the consistency of soft serve. Transfer to a freezer-safe container, cover and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.

PHILADELPHIA-STYLE VANILLA ICE CREAM



Philadelphia-Style Vanilla Ice Cream image

You only need 10 minutes to get this no-cook ice cream churning. It's very simple: just milk, cream, sugar and flavorings. It can taste icy at first, but once it softens, it's fluffy and creamy, and the lack of eggs and other stabilizers makes it extra light.

Categories     dessert

Time 30m

Yield about 1 quart of Philadelphia-style ice cream

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/4 cups whole milk
3/4 cup organic cane sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups heavy cream

Steps:

  • Combine the milk, sugar, vanilla extract, vanilla paste and salt in a large bowl. Whisk thoroughly to dissolve as much of the sugar as possible. Add the heavy cream and whisk gently until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  • Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's directions until the consistency of soft serve. Transfer to a freezer-safe container, cover and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.

Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream image

This vanilla ice cream is everything you would want in a classic-rich and creamy with a pure, balanced flavor that can hold its own whether you serve it in a cone, with pie or as a base for candy or cookie mix-ins.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 4h35m

Yield 1 generous quart

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Kosher salt
5 large egg yolks

Steps:

  • Whisk the cream, milk, sugar, vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Beat the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk 1 cup of the hot cream mixture into the beaten yolks, then pour back into the saucepan, whisking, and return to medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens, coats the spoon and reaches 180 degrees F on a thermometer, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl or measuring cup; discard the solids. Stir often until the mixture cools to room temperature. Lightly press plastic wrap directly against the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Chill until cold, about 3 hours. (For faster chilling, set the bowl of custard in a bowl of ice water and stir until cold.)
  • Freeze the mixture in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions. (Take care not to over-churn the ice cream or it can have a grainy texture.) Place the ice cream in the freezer to set up for at least 1 hour. Serve.

Time 8h18m

Yield 1 1/2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups half-and-half
1 cup heavy cream
8 large egg yolks
9 ounces vanilla sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

  • In a medium mixing bowl whisk the egg yolks until they lighten in color. Gradually add the sugar and whisk to combine. Temper the cream mixture into the eggs and sugar by gradually adding small amounts, until about a third of the cream mixture has been added. Pour in the remainder and return the entire mixture to the saucepan and place over low heat. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon and reaches 170 to 175 degrees F. Pour the mixture into a container and allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract. Place the mixture into the refrigerator and once it is cool enough not to form condensation on the lid, cover and store for 4 to 8 hours or until the temperature reaches 40 degrees F or below.
  • Pour into an ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer's directions. This should take approximately 25 to 35 minutes. Serve as is for soft serve or freeze for another 3 to 4 hours to allow the ice cream to harden.

ULTIMATE VANILLA ICE CREAM



Ultimate vanilla ice cream image

Is Angela Nilsen's vanilla ice cream the smoothest, creamiest homemade ice cream in history?

Provided by Angela Nilsen

Categories     Dessert, Dinner, Lunch, Treat

Time 2h

Yield 8 big scoops

Number Of Ingredients 6

284ml carton double cream
300ml full fat milk
115g golden caster sugar
1 vanilla pod
3 large free-range egg yolks
have lots of ice cubes at the ready

Steps:

  • Put the canister from the machine into the freezer a day before you want to make the ice cream. Next day, pour the cream and milk into a medium heavy-based pan, then tip in half the sugar. Slit the vanilla pod down its length with a small sharp knife and scoop out as many of the tiny black seeds as you can into the cream mixture. Cut the pod into three and drop it into the pan.
  • Heat the cream and milk over a low heat, stirring occasionally, until it almost boils - you'll see a few bubbles at the edge. Take off the heat and set aside for 30 minutes so the vanilla can infuse.
  • Put the egg yolks into a bowl with the rest of the sugar and beat with an electric hand beater for about 2 minutes until the mixture has thickened, is paler in colour and falls in thick ribbons when you lift the beaters. Using a measuring jug, scoop out about 125ml/4fl oz of the cream mixture and beat into the egg yolks to slacken them. Reheat the cream until it just comes to the boil, take off the heat and stir in the egg yolk mixture.
  • Return the pan to a low heat and cook, stirring all the time with a wooden spoon, for 8-10 minutes, until the custard is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon. Watch that it doesn't boil - as soon as you see any bubbles about to burst to the surface, it should be thick enough, so take the pan off the heat so the mixture doesn't curdle.
  • Pour the custard into a heatproof bowl, then sit it in a bigger bowl one third full of iced water to cool (this takes about 20 minutes). Stir occasionally to stop a skin forming. Put the bowl of custard in the fridge for 3-4 hours, preferably overnight, so it gets really cold.
  • Get the ice cream machine running, scoop out the vanilla pod pieces, then slowly pour in the cold custard. Leave it to churn for 10-30 minutes (depending on your machine). When it stops, it is probably too soft to eat, so spoon into a plastic container, cover with cling film, then a lid, and freeze for a minimum of 3 hours. (It will keep in the freezer for 3 months but don't take it out, then refreeze.) Remove from the freezer 15 minutes before serving.
  • To make it by hand: in step 1, heat the milk, vanilla, and half the sugar without the cream (the custard will be slightly thicker). At the start of step 6, whip the cream so it's light and floppy, not too stiff, and fold it into the cold custard. Freeze for 3-4 hours, stirring once an hour until almost frozen, then freeze as above.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Make sure your ice cream maker is properly frozen before churning.
  • Churn the ice cream until it is thick and creamy, but not frozen solid.
  • Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
  • For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins, such as chocolate chips, sprinkles, or fruit, after the ice cream has churned.
  • If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make ice cream by using the freezer method. Pour the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1 hour. Then, remove the container from the freezer and beat the ice cream until it is smooth. Repeat this process every 30 minutes until the ice cream is firm.

Conclusion:

Vanilla ice cream is a classic dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a versatile flavor that can be dressed up or down with different toppings and mix-ins. Whether you are making it from scratch or using a store-bought mix, there are a few tips you can follow to make sure your vanilla ice cream turns out perfect every time.
