I’ve been working on my ice cream and have modified my recipe for a creamier texture. I am also experimenting with new flavours and working on some that are a bit more savoury. All flavours used are fruit-based or natural.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of cream
- 1 cup of milk
- 166 grams of castor sugar (half in the milk mix and half in the egg mix)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1tsp flavour
- 4 egg yolks
Method:
- Heat milk, cream, 1/2 sugar, salt, and flavour to 82C
- While this is cooling beat egg yolks and remaining sugar till light and airy
- Add one ladle of warm milk mixture to eggs to “slacken the eggs”
- Add egg mix to the milk mixture
- Heat back to 82C
- Place in a bowl of cold water/ice for 15 minutes then refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours
- Place cold mix in the ice cream maker for 20 minutes and the ice cream is ready. I believe you can just freeze the mixture but make sure you regularly turn it over while it’s freezing.
