PREMIUM ICE CREAMS
:
VANILLA BEAN
Preparation: about 40 - 45 minutes active time (must allow time to cool completely),
25 – 30 minutes chilling time; optional 2 hours to “ripen” in freezer.
Makes about ten 1/2-cup servings.
1-1/2 cups whole milk
1-1/2 cups heavy cream
1 whole vanilla bean (about 6 inches in length)
2 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
Combine the milk and cream in a medium saucepan. Use a sharp knife to
split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise. Use the blunt edge to scrape out
the “seeds”. Stir the seeds and bean pod into the milk/cream mixture.
Bring the mixture to a slow boil over medium heat, reduce the heat to low,
and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Combine the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar in a medium bowl. Use a hand
mixer on medium speed to beat until the mixture is thick, smooth, and
pale yellow in color, about 1-1/2 to 2 minutes.
Remove the vanilla bean pod from the milk/cream mixture. Pour out 1 cup
of the hot liquid. With the mixer on low speed, add the cup of hot
milk/cream to the egg mixture in a slow steady stream. When thoroughly
combined, pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan and stir to
combine. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium low heat until the mixture
is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Transfer to a bowl, cover
with a sheet of plastic wrap placed directly on the custard, and chill com-
pletely.
Turn the machine ON, pour the chilled custard into the freezer bowl and
let mix until thickened, about 25 – 30 minutes.

1-1/3 cups heavy cream
1 vanilla bean
3/4 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream over
medium low heat. with a sharp knife, split the vanilla bean lengthwise;
use the blunt edge of the knife to scrape out the “seeds” of the vanilla
bean. Stir the seeds and bean pod into the milk/cream mixture. Simmer
the milk/cream mixture over low heat for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes,
remove the vanilla bean pod and discard or rinse and reserve for another
use.

hand mixer on medium speed to beat the sugar, cocoa, and eggs until
thickened like mayonnaise. Measure out 1 cup of the hot milk/cream mix-
ture. With the mixer on low speed, add the hot milk/cream in a slow,
steady stream and mix until completely incorporated. Stir the chopped
chocolate into the saucepan with the hot milk/cream, then stir the egg
mixture into the hot milk/cream. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly,
until the mixture thickens and begins to resemble a chocolate pudding.
Transfer the chocolate mixture to a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap placed

pletely cooled.
Turn the machine ON, pour the chilled custard into the freezer bowl and
let mix until thickened, about 25 – 30 minutes.
