Provided by รก-174535

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup sugar
Pinch kosher salt
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 large egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups heavy cream

Steps:

  • Combine cream, milk, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add pod or add vanilla extract. Bring mixture just to a simmer, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat. If using vanilla bean, cover; let sit 30 minutes. Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a medium bowl until pale, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup warm cream mixture. Whisk yolk mixture into remaining cream mixture. Cook mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat a wooden spoon, 2 to 3 minutes. Strain custard into a medium bowl set over a bowl of ice water; let cool, stirring occasionally. Process custard in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to an airtight container; cover. Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours and up to 1 week. Cherry-Bourbon Ice Cream: Cook 1 1/2 cups halved pitted cherries, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 tablespoon water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until syrupy, 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon bourbon; let cool. Process custard and fold in cherry mixture just before transferring to freezer. Chocolate-Malt Ice Cream MAKES ABOUT 4 CUPS Strain hot custard over 6 ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate in a medium bowl; let stand 5 minutes, then whisk to combine. Let cool over a bowl of ice water. Process custard, adding in 1 cup chopped malted milk balls at the end. Coffee Stracciatella: Mix 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder into strained, hot custard until dissolved; cool over ice bath. Once custard is frozen to desired consistency in ice cream maker, gradually pour in 3 ounces melted bittersweet chocolate; process until ice cream is flecked with chocolate, 2 minutes longer. Pistachio: Once custard is frozen to desired consistency in ice cream maker, add 1 cup chopped unsalted raw pistachios; process just until combined.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The ice cream was icy and didn't have much flavor.

I had some trouble getting the ice cream to churn, but I finally got it to work. It was worth the effort, though, because the ice cream was delicious.

The ice cream was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good.
