Balsamic Ice Cream
- 2 cups (480g) milk
- 5 large egg yolks
- 2/3 cup (130g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons (10g) Invert Sugar (page 185)
- 1/2 cup (120g) heavy cream
- 1/4 cup (60g) aged balsamic vinegar
- Set up an ice bath in a large bowl.
- Put the milk in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Whisk the yolks with the granulated sugar and invert sugar in a medium bowl.
- When the milk is simmering, slowly whisk about 1 cup into the yolks for about 1 minute to temper them (keep the pan off the heat while you do this).
- Then scrape the yolks into the saucepan and cook, stirring pretty much constantly, until the mixture reaches 180F.
- Keep an eye on the color of the foam on the surface; when it turns the same color as the mixture, youre very close to the right temperature.
- Remove from the heat and add the cream and balsamic vinegar.
- Mix thoroughly with an immersion blender.
- Push through a fine strainer into a medium bowl and set into the ice bath.
- Chill completely, stirring often.
- Then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight for the flavors to mature.
- Mix again with an immersion blender, then freeze in an ice cream maker.
- Pack into a plastic container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
