Ice Cream Base
- 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) whipping cream (35 percent butterfat)
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) homogenized milk
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) Carnation evaporated 2-percent milk
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) light corn syrup
- 1/3 cup (65 g) sugar
- 1/2 cup (110 g) powdered milk
- 3 egg yolks
- Fill a large bowl with ice cubes, and rest a medium metal bowl on the ice.
- Youll need it soon to do a rapid transfer and keep the mixture cool.
- In another bowl, combine the cream, homogenized milk, evaporated milk, corn syrup, sugar, powdered milk, and egg yolks and mix well.
- (If you are making the Ovaltine or Sanka flavor, the flavoring goes in now.)
- Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a thick-bottomed saucepan.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoonincluding into the corners of the potuntil the mixture reaches 175F (79C).
- A thermometer is important here because the eggs will start curdling at about 183F (85C).
- Immediately pour the mixture through the sieve into the metal bowl sitting on ice.
- (If you are making the cafe brulot or Goglu flavor, it goes in now.)
- Let cool, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- The following day, churn in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturers instructions.
- Transfer to a container, cap tightly, and store in the freezer for 3 to 4 hours before serving.
- OVALTINE ICE CREAM
- Add 6 tablespoons (28 g) Ovaltine along with the sugar.
- GLACE CAFE BRULOT
- In a small saucepan, gently warm 1/4 cup (60 ml) brandy, then ignite it to burn off the alcohol.
- When the flames die, add 1/4 cup (35 g) dark-roast coffee beans, zest of 1 orange (in one piece), 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, 2 whole cloves, 1 cinnamon stick, and 1 teaspoon Angostura bitters.
- Stir to combine.
- Add to the hot cream mixture on ice and let it steep.
- Cover and refrigerate as in the mother recipe, then strain and churn as directed.
- SANKA ICE CREAM
- Add 2 tablespoons Sanka instant-coffee powder along with the sugar.
- Serve the ice cream with a dusting of Sanka.
- GOGLU ICE CREAM
- Drop 16 Goglu (arrowroot) cookies into the hot cream mixture and blend with a hand blender.
- Then, cool, cover, and churn as directed.
- Serve the ice cream with chopped cookies on top.
