I was so excited to try making ice cream for the first time and no better excuse than Mudder&Santa brought me the Kitchen Aid ice cream attachment. So I turned to Pinterest for a recipe and this is the one I used:
Ingredients:
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
2/3 cup sugar
6 large egg yolks
1 vanilla bean
1/4 teaspoon salt
1. Combine 2 cups heavy cream & 1 cup whole milk in a saucepan. Add vanilla seeds & pod (use knife to make a slit- then the flat side to scrape out the seeds). Bring the mixture to a simmer.
2. Whisk together 2/3 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt & 6 egg yolks in the a mixer.
3. Once the cream / milk mixture is simmering, SLOWLY pour the mixture into the eggs. If you do not do this slowly, the eggs will cook- yuck! Drizzle it in very slowly.
4. Once combine, return to saucepan and heat over medium heat until the mixture reaches about 170 degrees (six to 8 minutes).
5. Once the mixture reaches this temperature, remove the vanilla pod & pour mixture into a metal bowl & place the bowl into an ice bath. Let cool.
6. Refrigerate until ready to churn. Follow instructions on ice cream maker. Mixture can be made ahead up to 2 days.
After churning, we put ours into the tupperware and into the freezer. The tupperware was wide enough to make it easy to scoop. Putting it in the freezer also helped for the perfect consistency!
Then ENJOY!
This is not backing&Iknowthat but it does require use of my kitchenaidmixer&Pinterest so it is a win win in my book.
