LIGHT AND CREAMY VANILLA ICE CREAM - ANNE OF GREEN GABLES

Steps:

• You Will Need:.
• double boiler.
• measuring spoons.
• measuring cups.
• small saucepan.
• wooden spoon.
• 2 small mixing bowls.
• fork.
• wire strainer.
• electric mixer.
• 2 large mixing bowls.
• rubber spatula.
• metal bowl or pan.
• Put the whipping cream, electric beaters and one of the large mixing bowls in the refrigerator to chill.
• 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.
