Old Fashioned Hand Churned Vanilla Ice Cream Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together all ingredients. Transfer to an ice-cream maker, and freeze following manufacturer's instructions. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine sugar and egg yolks together. Beat the mixture until it is a thick yellow paste and set it aside.
• Bring the half-and-half and milk to a simmer in a heavy, medium-size saucepan. Slowly beat the hot half-and-half and milk mixture into the egg and sugar mixture. This mixture should be hot, but not boiling. If it gets too hot or you add the egg and sugar too fast you will have scrambled eggs. Return the mixture to the saucepan and simmer for a few minutes as you constantly stir to make a custard-like consistency. Strain the mixture into a large bowl to chill overnight in a refrigerator.
• The next day, stir in heavy cream and vanilla before adding it to your ice cream machine. Follow the ice cream machine's directions to freeze ice cream.
• Ice cream is actually best right from the ice cream maker, when it is about 10 to 15 degrees F. If you can serve the ice cream right after it is made, it will have a soft and creamy texture like no other. You can adjust the above recipe by adding fruits, or even sweetened chocolate, to taste. When adding fruits to ice cream, blend them slightly with a food processor and sprinkle with sugar to enhance flavor. Let the fruit rest overnight with the original egg and cream mixture. Add the fruit in place of the vanilla.

Steps:

• Whisk all ingredients together until sugar dissolves. Pour into the bowl of an ice cream machine. Freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. After the ice cream is made, transfer to an airtight container. Cover tightly and freeze until ready to serve. When ready to serve, make chocolate curls using a vegetable peeler. Serve ice cream garnished with curls.

Steps:

• Beat egg yolks and sugar until well blended. Pour mixture into the top of a double boiler over simmering water, and stir in half-and-half. Cook until thickened; if necessary, microwave for 1 minute or until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and cool. Stir in whipping cream and vanilla, and then pour into the bowl of an ice cream freezer. Process according to manufacturer's instructions until firm.

Steps:

• Add the first 3 ingredients to a saucepan.
• Over low heat, cook and stir constantly for 25-30 minutes or until the mixture gets thickened and will coat a spoon; cover and chill.
• Add in half-and-half and the remaining ingredients to the chilled mixture; stir to combine.
• Pour mixture into the container of an 5-quart electric ice cream maker (or hand-crank freezer for you die-hards).
• Freeze following the manufacturer's directions.
• Serve right away or transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm.
