LIGHT AND CREAMY VANILLA ICE CREAM - ANNE OF GREEN GABLES



Light and Creamy Vanilla Ice Cream - Anne of Green Gables image

Taken from "The Anne of Green Gables Cookbook", written by Lucy Maud Montgomery's granddaughter Kate Macdonald. I am posting this as it appears in the original book, which was written as a tribute to her father Stuart Macdonald (Montgomery's son). The recipes were written with precise instructions, geared for young cooks. All recipes were apparently tested by a 12 year old cook, with perfect results. Quote from the book: "I have never tasted ice cream. Diana tried to explain what it was like, but I guess ice cream is one of those things that are beyond imaginations." (from Anne of Green Gables, XIII) Other recipes are available in a cookbook prepared by chef #756627 - book #243014 *NOTE*: Posting to add to the cookbook. I have not personally made this recipe.

  • Put about 2 inches of water in the bottom of the double boiler and bring to a boil.
  • Put the gelatin and the cold water in the top pot of the double boiler. Let the gelatin soften for 5 minutes away from the stove.
  • Meanwhile, pour the milk into the small saucepan and place it over medium low heat. When tiny bubbles form around the edge of the pot, the milk is ready.
  • To the gelatin in the top pot of the double boiler add the hot milk, sugar, corn syrup, flour, and salt. Place over the bottom pot containing the boiling water.
  • Stir constantly with the wooden spoon until the mixture thickens- about 15 minutes.
  • Put the lid on and cook the mixture over boiling water for another 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, separate the egg into the 2 small mixing bowls. Set aside the egg white for later.
  • Beat the egg yolk slightly with a fork. When the 10 minutes are up, stir the egg yolk very slowly into the mixture on top of the stove. Cook and stir for 1 more minute.
  • Pour the hot ice cream mixture through a wire strainer into the other large mixing bowl.
  • When the ice cream mixture has cooled to room temperature, beat it with the electric mixer until it is light and creamy - about 5 minutes.
  • In the chilled large mixing bowl whip the cold whipping cream with the electric mixer until it falls in large globs and forms a soft peak.
  • Rinse the beaters thoroughly with hot water. Then beat the egg white until it is stiff and glossy but not dry.
  • Very gently with the rubber spatula, fold first the whipped cream, then the egg white into the ice cream mixture. Gently stir in the vanilla.
  • Spoon the mixture into the metal bowl or pan and place in the freezer. Freeze for about 3 or 4 hours - until firm.

VANILLA ICE CREAM



Vanilla Ice Cream image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 6h30m

Yield 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups half-and-half
4 cups heavy cream
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
18 large egg yolks
1 1/2 cups sugar

Steps:

  • Put a large mixing bowl in the freezer to chill. In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the half-and-half, cream and vanilla bean to a simmer, stirring occasionally to make sure the mixture doesn't burn or stick to the bottom of the pan. In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar. When the cream mixture reaches a fast simmer turn it off, do not let it boil! In a thin stream, whisk half of it into the egg yolk mixture. Then pour the egg-cream mixture into the saucepan containing the rest of the cream mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. At 160 degrees, the mixture will give off a puff of steam. When the mixture reaches 180 degrees, it will be thickened and creamy, like eggnog. If you don't have a thermometer, test it by dipping a wooden spoon into the mixture. Run your finger down the back of the spoon. If the stripe remains clear, the mixture is ready, if the edges blur, it is not quite thick enough yet. When it is ready, quickly remove from the heat. Meanwhile, remove the bowl from the freezer, put 4 handfuls of ice cubes in the bottom, and add cold water to cover. Rest a smaller bowl in the ice water.
  • Strain the cream mixture through a fine sieve to remove the vanilla bean pieces, into a smaller bowl. Chill 3 hours, then freeze according to the directions for your ice cream maker.

You can add fruit or other stuff like chunks of butterfinger candy bars, heath bars,chocolate chips, you name it. The possibilties are endless. You can also sub any flavor of soft drink for the whole milk and get a completely different taste.

PLUM PUFFS



Plum Puffs image

This recipe, from Bluebird Hill Farms, was named for Marilla's famous plum puffs in the Anne of Green Gables books by L.M. Montgomery. They are a plummy muffin, dipped into butter and then cinnamon sugar; I've seen other muffin recipes called "puffs", too, and they seem to me a more likely produce from an old-timey farm kitchen than something more akin to cream puffs--which is how some fans envision plum puffs. Since there is no "official" recipe, we can only guess--but this recipe fits my vision to a "T"! Instructions for preparing plum pulp are included at the end of the recipe; it may be frozen or used for jam, as well. While the recipe doesn't specify, I'd think a cooking or dual-purpose English plum, such as Victoria, would be ideal. Times are estimated, and do not include preparation of plum pulp or cooling time.

Categories     Low Protein

Time 35m

Yield 12 puffs, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs plums, washed
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup cream or 1/2 cup milk
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
1/2-1 teaspoon cinnamon (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F Grease a 12-cup muffin pan.
  • Mix together flour, baking powder, salt, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Add 1 cup plum pulp (see instructions at end of recipe), cream, egg, and 1/4 cup melted butter and stir until combined (should still be lumpy, not smooth).
  • Spoon batter into muffin cups to about 2/3 full. Bake about 20 minutes or until centers are set. Remove puffs from pan immediately.
  • While puffs are baking, combine cinnamon and sugar. As soon as the puffs are removed from the pan, dip tops into melted butter, then into cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • To make plum pulp: Wash plums and place in a large pot. Add a little water (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup) to pot--just enough to make some steam. Cover and heat over very low heat until the fruit is soft. Pour the juice and some fruit into a colander set over a large bowl (to catch juices and pulp). Mash the fruit around with a potato masher (not too hard--you don't want to break the pits!) until most of the pulp and skins have been pressed through the colander. Discard the pits, add some more fruit to the colander, and repeat until all the fruit has been pressed through. 2 lbs of plums should yield about 3 cups pulp, which may be used for this recipe, frozen in containers or freezer bags, or made into jam. Look for European plums, not Asian plums as they are not as good for cooking.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will produce the best-tasting ice cream. Use real vanilla extract, not imitation, and use full-fat milk and cream for a richer flavor.
  • Chill your ingredients: Chilling your ingredients before churning will help the ice cream freeze faster and smoother. You can also chill your ice cream maker bowl in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before churning.
  • Churn the ice cream until it is thick and creamy: The churning process helps to incorporate air into the ice cream, which gives it a light and creamy texture. Churn the ice cream until it is thick enough to hold a spoon upright, but not so thick that it is difficult to stir.
  • Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours: This will allow the ice cream to firm up and develop its full flavor.
  • Enjoy! Vanilla ice cream is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed on its own or used in a variety of other desserts, such as sundaes, milkshakes, and pies.

Conclusion:

This collection of vanilla ice cream recipes offers a variety of ways to make this classic dessert. Whether you prefer a light and airy ice cream, a rich and creamy ice cream, or a vegan or gluten-free ice cream, there is a recipe here for everyone. With a little time and effort, you can easily make delicious vanilla ice cream at home that will impress your family and friends.
