Its still hot here........getting so tired of saying that........but it is! So my mind is still on ice cream. Not sure how many of you still make ice cream in the old fashioned freezers since the new modern ones don't require ice but these hints can apply to both.
After you get your mixture ready to use in your freezer.........good idea to put in frig for overnight.
If you are using ice.........use 8 parts ice to one part course salt......the finer the crushed ice the smoother the ice cream. Fill your freezer only 3/4 full. Start your motor and let run 2 min before adding the ice........Sprinkle about 3 inches of ice in the bottom then a layer of salt.......repeat this til full. Add ice as you go...........TOO much salt will cause ice cream to freeze too fast. You're ready to go. Can you even believe how involved that was!?!? Thank goodness I have the new kind you just put the bowl in the freezer!
I am so into no cook ice cream but with really good vanilla........you do need to make a custard. In a good size pot add 2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup WHOLE milk, 3/4 cup sugar and a dash of salt. Take 3 vanilla beans (and boy are they expensive in the states!!! so don't make any mistakes) Split them lengthwise and scrape out the seeds and into your mixture. Bring just to a boil. Whisk 2 eggs in a large bowl........add the hot cream mixture in a slow stream, whisking as you go. Pour mixture back into the pan on the stove and cook over med/ low heat, stirring until slightly thickened......about 170 degrees on thermometer. Now........you really should strain this into a bowl........I never do.......but if you are a purest.......go for it. Otherwise, just put into a bowl and cool. When cool enough.......put in frig for about 3 hours before you put into your ice cream freezer.........this is soooooooo good.
Now........heres a no cook..........its good alright........just not quite as good as the above..but easier. Beat 2 eggs and 1 cup sugar tog. Add 2 cups milk and 2 cups heavy cream, 2 tsp vanilla, and a dash of salt........mix all of this real good and pour into your ice cream freezer. With this one.......if you wanted to add strawberries, raspberries or any fruit.......just take out the 2 cups of milk and add 2 cups of the fruit sort of pureed.......or just mush it up a bit..
This is a fun recipe that is really good for a change. This tells you how old this recipe is........its called Dinah Shores 3 of 6 ice cream!!!! Does anyone remember Dinah Shore?? This makes quite a bit........might want to cut in half.
3 bananas mashed, 3 lemons-juice of, 3 oranges-juice of.......add to........3 cups sugar, 3 cups of milk and 3 cups of half 'n half........Stir til sugar dissolves.......pour into your ice cream freezer.
Well, I am taking a small break for a bit...........but will be back on my blog in a few days........thanks for reading..........Love doing it and love hearing from all of you!
