Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream image

This vanilla ice cream is everything you would want in a classic-rich and creamy with a pure, balanced flavor that can hold its own whether you serve it in a cone, with pie or as a base for candy or cookie mix-ins.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 4h35m

Yield 1 generous quart

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Kosher salt
5 large egg yolks

Steps:

  • Whisk the cream, milk, sugar, vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Beat the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk 1 cup of the hot cream mixture into the beaten yolks, then pour back into the saucepan, whisking, and return to medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens, coats the spoon and reaches 180 degrees F on a thermometer, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl or measuring cup; discard the solids. Stir often until the mixture cools to room temperature. Lightly press plastic wrap directly against the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Chill until cold, about 3 hours. (For faster chilling, set the bowl of custard in a bowl of ice water and stir until cold.)
  • Freeze the mixture in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions. (Take care not to over-churn the ice cream or it can have a grainy texture.) Place the ice cream in the freezer to set up for at least 1 hour. Serve.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h10m

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 10

Baking spray with flour, such as Baker's Joy
3 tablespoons demerara or turbinado sugar, such as Sugar in the Raw
3/4 pound (3 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
6 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean
3 cups sifted cake flour (measured after sifting)

VANILLA CREAM OR SAUCE



Vanilla Cream or Sauce image

This is really delicious on its own, but I use it mainly to serve alongside brownies, bread pudding, apple pie, berries, or poached pears. You can either make this as a thicker cream or as a sauce. I love it as a cream for berries, poached pears or brownies and as a sauce over apple pie or bread pudding. Serve chilled over warm or cool desserts or just eat it on its own as a custard.

Tips:

  • Use fresh vanilla beans: Fresh vanilla beans will give your cream the best flavor. If you don't have fresh vanilla beans, you can use vanilla extract, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Use heavy cream: Heavy cream will give your cream a rich and creamy texture. If you use milk instead of heavy cream, your cream will be thinner and less flavorful.
  • Don't overcook the cream: Overcooking the cream will cause it to curdle. Bring the cream to a simmer over medium heat, then remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly before adding the vanilla beans.
  • Let the cream cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the cream to thicken.
  • Serve the cream with your favorite desserts: Vanilla cream is a delicious topping for pies, cakes, and cookies. It can also be used as a filling for tarts and éclairs.

Conclusion:

Vanilla cream is a simple but delicious dessert that can be enjoyed on its own or used as a topping or filling for other desserts. It is a versatile and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for any occasion.
