4 egg yolks
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons sugar
3 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup water
4 large egg whites
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream
4 egg yolks
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons sugar
3 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup water
4 large egg whites
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream
Beat the egg yolks, then combine with sugar, salt, and cornstarch dissolved in 2 cups of heavy cream
Heat the mixture over low heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon
Chill the mixture by placing it in an ice bath and refrigerating or freezing
Boil the water with 1 cup of granulated sugar, stirring occasionally, until it forms long strands when lifted with a spoon (thread stage)
Beat the egg whites until stiff, then slowly pour in the hot sugar syrup while continuing to beat
Add the vanilla extract and chill the mixture by placing it in an ice bath and refrigerating or freezing
Beat the heavy cream chilled to the point of whipped cream, or if using store-bought whipped cream, beat 4 tablespoons of butter until light and fluffy and then fold in the whipped cream
Gently combine the three creams: egg yolk, egg white, and whipped cream
Pour the mixture into ice cream molds and freeze for at least 2 hours
Serve with a flavorful and colorful sauce like our caramel topping recipe, or other sorbet complements
Note: This Creamy Custard Ice Cream recipe is a classic among ice creams
It's worth experimenting, as it's extremely delicious and creamy
You can also make it without whipped cream, simply combining the egg yolk and egg white mixtures
It will still be flavorful, just less rich in calories (and sometimes that's exactly what we want, isn't it?).
