SOUR CREAM ICE CREAM WITH BROWN SUGAR STRAWBERRY SWIRL



Sour Cream Ice Cream With Brown Sugar Strawberry Swirl image

Wait to make this until good strawberries are available, because this fool-proof method lets their flavor and texture really shine through. Tangy from the sour cream, this is imbued with a caramel-tinged brown sugar sauce, and the ice cream itself has a soft but not runny texture. Think Mister Softee meets artisanal.

Time 45m

Yield About 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
9 egg yolks
1 1/2 cups sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pinch salt
1 quart fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
3 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon brandy

Steps:

  • In a medium-size heavy saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar with cream and milk. Bring to a simmer; turn off heat.
  • Whisk together egg yolks and remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Whisking constantly, slowly add about half (a cup or so) of hot cream mixture to yolks. Pour yolk mixture into saucepan with remaining cream. Cook, stirring constantly, over moderately low heat until mixture thickens enough to coat back of a spoon, about 7 minutes: do not let it come to a simmer or it will curdle. Immediately strain custard into a clean bowl. Whisk in sour cream, vanilla and salt. Cover custard tightly with plastic wrap and chill at least 3 hours or up to 3 days.
  • About an hour before you want to serve ice cream, combine strawberries and brown sugar in a bowl for 15 minutes. Transfer berries and accumulated juices to a skillet and bring just to a simmer. Remove from heat and stir in brandy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer berries to a bowl. Simmer juices in skillet until syrupy, about 5 minutes. Pour syrup over strawberries. Chill mixture in freezer until thoroughly cool but not frozen (15 to 30 minutes).
  • Churn custard in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's directions. When ice cream has reached a soft-serve consistency, transfer to a bowl and swirl in the strawberry mixture with a quick folding action (you want to see red and white swirls, not pink). Serve immediately.

Categories     Breads

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 cake, 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour (3 3/4 ounces)
3/4 cup granulated sugar (5 1/4 ounces)
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed (3 1/2 ounces)
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1 cup pecans, chopped
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (11 1/2 ounces)
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar (8 3/4 ounces)
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened but still cool, cut into 1-inch cubes (1 1/2 sticks)

Steps:

  • Adjust the oven rack to the lowest position and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease the inside of a 10 inch pan.
  • For the Steusel - Place the flour, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup dark brown sugar, and the cinnamon in a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Transfer 1 1/4 cups of the mixture to small bowl and stir in remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar; set aside (this will be the streusel for the inside of the cake). Add the butter and pecans to the remaining dry ingredients in the food processor bowl. Pulse the mixture about 3-4 times until the nuts and butter have been broken down into small pebbly pieces. Set aside. (The streusel with the butter and nuts will be for the top of the cake). If you do not have a food process, you could also do this with a pastry cutter but note it will take a bit more time.
  • For the Cake - In a small bowl, combine the eggs, 1 cup of the sour cream and vanilla and set aside. In the bowl of a standing mixer, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt at low speed, about 30 seconds. Add the butter and remaining 1/2 cup of sour cream and mix at low speed until the dry ingredients are moistened. Increase to medium speed and beat 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Decrease the mixer speed to low and slowly incorporate the egg mixture in 3 additions, beating for 20 seconds after each and scraping the sides of bowl as necessary. Increase speed to medium-high and beat for 1 minute (the batter should increase in volume and become aerated and pale in color).
  • Add 2 cups of the batter to the prepared pan. With an offset metal spatula or rubber spatula, smooth the surface of the batter. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup streusel filling (without butter or nuts). Drop 2 more cups of the batter over the streusel and spread evenly. Then add the remaining streusel filling. Top with remaining batter and then the streusel topping (with the butter and nuts).
  • Bakes until the cake feels firm to the touch and a toothpick comes inserted into the center comes out clean, about 60 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan for about 30 minutes. Then release the clasps of the springform pan and cool completely and serve.

STRAWBERRY-SOUR CREAM SCONES WITH BROWN SUGAR CRUMBLE



STRAWBERRY-SOUR CREAM SCONES WITH BROWN SUGAR CRUMBLE image

Categories     Bread     Fruit     Breakfast     Bake

Yield 10 scones

Number Of Ingredients 15

For the scones:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
4 Tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 Tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1 cup roughly chopped strawberries
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup sour cream
1/4 - 1/2 cup whole milk or heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the topping
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
3 Tablespoons salted butter, softened

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°. Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut the butter into the flour until it looks like coarse bread crumbs. Add the strawberries and toss until the berries are coated with flour. Whisk together the egg, sour cream, 1/4 cup of the milk, and vanilla. Pour this onto the flour mixture and then fold them together until all the flour is moistened. If necessary, add up to 1/4 cup of additional milk until a shaggy, moist dough is formed. Try not to overwork the dough. Sprinkle a little flour on your counter, turn out the dough, and sprinkle a little more flour on top. Pat the dough into a circle or rectangle about 1-inch thick, and use a bench scraper to cut the scones into wedges. Transfer the scones to a greased baking sheet. Combine the ingredients for the topping and use your fingers to crumble this evenly over all of the scones. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes until the scones are firm on the outside and golden in spots. Let the scones cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling. These scones are best on the day that they're made. If you're planning on keeping them for several days, skip the topping (which will absorb moisture and get mushy) and instead smear them with butter and a sprinkle of brown sugar just before eating.

Tips:

  • Use light or dark brown sugar: Both types of brown sugar can be used in this recipe, but they will produce slightly different results. Light brown sugar will give the frosting a lighter color and a milder flavor, while dark brown sugar will give it a darker color and a richer flavor.
  • Soften the butter: Before you start making the frosting, be sure to soften the butter. This will make it easier to cream together with the brown sugar and sour cream.
  • Use full-fat sour cream: For the best results, use full-fat sour cream. This will give the frosting a richer flavor and a creamier texture.
  • Add flavorings: You can add a variety of flavorings to this frosting to suit your taste. Some popular options include vanilla extract, almond extract, lemon zest, and chocolate chips.
  • Chill the frosting before using: Once you have made the frosting, chill it for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help it to firm up and make it easier to spread.

Conclusion:

Brown sugar sour cream frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to suit your taste. Whether you like it light and mild or dark and rich, this frosting is sure to please.
