There is nothing greater than
being able to make your own homemade ice cream from scratch. Unlike the use of sweetened condensed milk, this
ice cream uses a custard base, which produces an incredibly creamy, delicious
and not-too-sweet ice cream. That’s
right, you’ll never have to let this ice cream sit out on the counter to soften
before serving. This simple velvety
smooth ice cream straight from the freezer
will have you licking your bowl clean!
4 eggs
2/3 cups sugar
2 cups whipping cream,
whipped
1 teaspoon vanilla paste/pure
extract
Directions
1. Pour whipping cream into the bowl of a
standing mixer, and beat until stiff peaks form. Cover cream and place in fridge.
2. Place sugar and eggs into a medium bowl and
begin to whisk to combine.
3. Place bowl over a pot of simmering water on
medium-low heat. Ensure the bowl does
not touch the bottom of the pot – bain marie method.
4. Carefully whisk the
mixture continuously, until mixture is pale in colour and double in volume –
15-18 minutes. It is important to mix constantly to ensure eggs do not cook.
5. Pour custard into the bowl of a standing
mixer (can be poured through sieve), and with a whisk attachment, and beat on high for 7-12 minutes or until
custard has cooled to room temperature - the bowl should be cool to the touch. Add vanilla and mix to combine.
6. Add prepared whipped cream a third at a time, and on the lowest setting, mix to incorporate into custard.
7. Pour ice cream into a container and place a
piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the ice cream. Cover
with lid and place into the freezer. Freeze for at least 6-8 hours, preferably over night.
