I bought this ice cream maker because my mom loves ice cream, can’t get enough of it. So being the wonderful daughter I am, I decided to try my hand at making it. That’s kind of why I’m her favorite, lol, I go the distance for my mama. So I couldn’t decide for a while if I should go with the old school or cutting edge machine. The decision came down to quantity. You can’t make nearly as much with the new ice free machines, unless you spend the big bucks. I also decided to start making her ice cream because we’ve completely changed how we eat. We now eat as clean as we can afford and organic. The ice creams you can buy now days are mostly “frozen desserts” and the crap they shovel into them has gotten ridiculous. So my mission was a healthier ice cream with no junk. What follows is the recipe I came up with, it’s pretty amazing (mom’s words), lol. You can make it with the ingredients you prefer, for me I went completely organic. I also tried a new vanilla and the difference was dramatic! It was unbelievably good and the vanilla flavor, just wow! It’s very similar to the vanilla Breyers uses in taste but a little better. It’s Lafaza Organic Madagascar Bourbon Pure Ground Vanilla Bean Powder, 1oz. You can order it with your ice cream machine right here on Amazon. The ice cream maker worked beautifully and I wouldn’t have changed a thing except maybe an on/off switch. You have to plug it in to turn it on and unplug to shut it down. A minor issue, if you can even call it that. Oh gosh I forgot about the cord there for a second. It’s super short so have a plug close or grab a small extension. The machine did go through an entire large bag of ice so, make sure you have a lot before you begin. I had to top the ice off twice during the process so just keep an eye on it. It took about 30 minutes to churn it in total. I made sure my ice cream was cooled for 2 hrs before I put it in the mixer. If you don’t want to wait you can put it in earlier, you’ll just go through way more ice. I also waited until the ice cream was pretty firm before I shut it down. Below is my very simple, much healthier ice cream recipe. It’s an absolutely beautiful French vanilla or custard as some might call it. I’m old fashioned and eggs just make ice cream that much richer and oh so delicious. Enjoy!
7 egg yolks (organic, free range)
1 cup honey (local)
6 cups heavy whipping cream (organic grass fed)
1 cup whole milk (organic)
1 tsp Lafaza Organic Madagascar Bourbon Pure Ground Vanilla Bean Powder
1/8 tsp sea salt
Whisk egg yolks and honey in a large mixing bowl and set aside. In a large pot mix together cream, milk, salt, and heat on medium heat until it’s roughly 155 degrees f, or until it starts to steam slightly. Take off the heat and temper your egg and honey mixture. Which is simply adding the cream mix to the egg mix very slowly, whisking the entire time. Then take the entire mixture and put it back into your large pot and cook until it reaches 175 degrees f. Do not go over 180 degrees.
Take it off the heat and let cool for 30 min., then add your vanilla. Place plastic directly onto mixture so it doesn’t form a skin and cool for another 1 and 1/2 hrs. Then follow the directions for the ice cream maker. It’s that simple and it will be the best vanilla ice cream you have ever had, well, if not the best then top 3 at least, lol.
