Got this from another group today:

 

Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Base

Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence

Show: Food 911

Episode: We All Scream for Ice Cream

 

Yield: 1 gallon total

 

10 cups heavy cream

5 cups whole milk

Pinch salt

3 cups sugar

3 vanilla beans

24 large egg yolks

 

Variations:

Chocolate-Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream:

3/4 cup whole milk

16 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped in chunks

 

Strawberry Cheese Cake Ice Cream:

1 1/2 cups strawberry preserves, no sugar added

1/2 frozen strawberry cheesecake, cut in large chunks

10 large fresh strawberries, halved

 

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Ice Cream:

1 tube ready to bake peanut butter cookie dough, cut

in large pieces

 

To make the vanilla ice cream: Combine the cream,

milk, salt, and 2

cups of the sugar in a large pot. Split the vanilla

beans down the

middle lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with a

paring knife; add

them to the pot and toss in the pods for added flavor.

Place the

cream mixture over medium heat, and bring up to a

simmer; stirring

with a wooden spoon to dissolve the sugar. Ideally,

the temperature

should reach 175 degrees F (just below scalding) for a

 

smooth-textured ice cream; this should take about 15

minutes. Shut

off the heat, cover the pot, and allow the cream

mixture to steep for

15 minutes to further infuse the vanilla flavor.

 

In the meantime, combine the egg yolks in a large

mixing bowl and

blend them lightly with a wire whisk. Gradually add

the remaining 1

cup of sugar and continue to whisk until the sugar is

completely

dissolved and the eggs are thick and pale yellow;

about 6 minutes.

 

Using a large ladle or measuring cup, temper the eggs

by gradually

whisking in about 4 cups of the hot cream mixture.

Return this back

to the rest of the cream in the saucepan and turn the

heat to

medium-low. Stir constantly until the custard thickens

and leaves a

path on the back of a spoon when you run your finger

across it, about

10 to 12 minutes (do not let boil.)

 

Pour the vanilla custard through a fine strainer into

another pot*

and chill completely in a sink full of ice, stirring

here and there;

this should take about 1 hour. Ideally, let the ice

cream base " age "

overnight in the refrigerator before churning in an

ice cream maker

to improve the flavor and texture of the final product

– but it is

still good if you decide to process it right away.

Divide the ice

cream into quarts** and churn each in an ice cream

maker according to

manufacturer's directions. When done, the ice cream

will be the

consistency of " soft serve. " ***To harden the ice

cream fully, freeze

in plastic covered containers.

 

Flavor Variations:

*To make the Chocolate-Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream: Heat

3/4 up of milk

in a pot over medium-low heat. Add 12 ounces of the

chopped chocolate

and stir until completely melted. Pour 1 quart of the

strained hot

vanilla ice cream base into the melted chocolate and

stir until very

well incorporated. Chill and process as directed in

the master

recipe. Fold in the remaining 4 ounces of chopped

chocolate after

churning while the ice cream is in the " soft-serve "

stage. Churn

another 1 to 2 minutes just until combined.

 

**To make the Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream: Mix the

strawberry

preserves into the vanilla custard just before you

start churning in

the ice cream maker. Add the pieces of strawberry

cheesecake and

fresh strawberries after churning while the ice cream

is in the

" soft-serve " stage. Continue to churn for an

additional 5 minutes or

until combined but still chunky.

 

***To make the Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Ice Cream:

Add the pieces

of cookie dough after churning while the ice cream is

in the

" soft-serve " stage. Continue to churn for an

additional 1 to 2

minutes until combined but still chunky.
