HOW TO MAKE NO-CHURN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place a 6-cup container into the freezer.In a large bowl, mix to combine sweetened condensed milk, vanilla paste, and crushed sandwich cookies. Set aside.In another large bowl, use a hand mixer to whip the cream to stiff peaks, taking care not to over-whip the cream.Fold about 1 cup of the whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk mixture, to lighten, then fold in the remaining whipped cream. Get the container from the freezer and quickly transfer the ice cream mixture to the container. Freeze for 4-5 hours, until firm. Then scoop, serve, and enjoy!Recipe note: Nearly all no-churn ice cream recipes call for a ratio of one 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk to 2 cups heavy cream. I have tweaked this amount in both directions and have found this amount to be just right, and then you don't have any partial cans used!

VANILLA BEAN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Combine the heavy cream, milk, and vanilla pod and seeds in a large saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat, then remove from the heat.
• Whisk the egg yolks, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Ladle half of the cream mixture into the egg mixture and whisk to combine; return to the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon in a figure-8 motion, until the custard is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 10 minutes.
• Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a blender; discard the vanilla pod. Puree until frothy, about 30 seconds; pour back into the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.
• Transfer the chilled custard to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a resealable container and freeze until firm, about 2 hours.

FAST AND FRUITY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place the frozen fruit in a food processor with the Greek yogurt, heavy cream and vanilla. Process until smooth. Add the chopped chocolate and pulse until the chocolate pieces have become small bits. Serve immediately in bowls and garnish with shaved dark chocolate over the top.

PIONEER WOMAN VANILLA ICE CREAM RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat the half-and-half and two cups sugar in a saucepan over low heat, adding vanilla "caviar" to the mixture. Turn off heat when mixture this is completely heated. Beat egg yolks by hand or with an electric mixer. Do so until yolks are pale yellow and slightly thick. Temper the egg yolks by slowly drizzling into the one-and-a-half cups of hot half-and-half mixture, being sure to consistently whisk. Pour this new mixture into the pan containing the rest of the half-and-half mixture. Cook over low to medium-low heat until very thick; stir often. Drain custard and pour into a bowl with the heavy cream. Stir to combine. Chill mixture completely and freeze in an ice cream maker until thick. Place container in freezer to harden for at least 8 hours. Your call, but we'd serve this with something chocolate-y!

VANILLA BEAN ICE CREAM WITH HOT FUDGE SAUCE

Steps:

• For the ice cream: Heat the half-and-half and sugar in a large saucepan over low heat. Add the vanilla seeds and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat.
• Beat the egg yolks in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale yellow and thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Temper the yolks by slowly drizzling in 1 cup of the hot half-and-half mixture, whisking constantly. Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture into the saucepan with the rest of the half-and-half mixture, whisking gently as you add it. Simmer over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until very thick, about 5 minutes. The mixture should be thick enough to coat the back of the spoon but not as thick as pudding.
• Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a separate large bowl. Add the heavy cream and stir to combine. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions. Transfer to a freezer-safe baking dish or loaf pan, cover and freeze until firm enough to scoop, at least 8 hours.
• For the hot fudge sauce: Whisk the cocoa powder and sugar in a medium saucepan, then whisk in the heavy cream until very thick. Turn the heat to medium and continue to whisk as the mixture warms up. Once it's warm and smooth, add the butter and stir until melted. When the mixture is nice and hot, add the vanilla and stir to combine. Remove from the heat and let the sauce cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer it to a jar. If not using right away, store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks (the sauce will firm up). To serve, scoop out some sauce into a microwave-safe bowl; microwave for 20 seconds, then stir and microwave for another 10 seconds or so until warm. Pour over the ice cream.

BANANA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place bananas in freezer and freeze overnight. Remove bananas from freezer and allow to thaw for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Peel bananas and place in bowl of food processor along with the lemon juice. Process for 10 to 15 seconds. Add corn syrup and vanilla bean seeds and turn processor on. Slowly pour in the heavy cream. Process until smooth. Chill mixture in refrigerator until it reaches 40 degrees. Transfer mixture to an ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer's instructions. Place mixture in an airtight container and freeze for 3 to 6 hours before serving.

SERIOUS VANILLA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients (including the bean and its pulp) in a large saucepan and place over medium heat. Attach a frying or candy thermometer to inside of pan. (see note below) Stirring occasionally, bring the mixture to 170 degrees F. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Remove the hull of the vanilla bean, pour mixture into lidded container and refrigerate mixture overnight to mellow flavors and texture.
• Freeze mixture in ice cream freezer according to unit's instructions. The mixture will not freeze hard in the machine. Once the volume has increased by 1/2 to 3/4 times, and reached a soft serve consistency, spoon the mixture back into a lidded container and harden in the freezer at least 1 hour before serving.
• NOTE: If you do not have a thermometer, bring the mixture just barely to a simmer. As soon as you see a bubble hit the surface, remove it from the heat. Do not let it boil.

NO-CHURN CHOCOLATE DREAM ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Chill a 9-inch loaf pan or glass container in the freezer.
• Add the heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl of an electric mixer. Using a whisk attachment, whip until stiff. Fold in the condensed milk. Divide the mixture between 2 large bowls.
• To one of the bowls, add the cocoa powder, melted semisweet chocolate and chocolate chips, then fold into the whipped cream.
• To the second bowl of whipped cream, add the melted white chocolate and chopped white chocolate, then fold in.
• Layer the different cream bases into the chilled loaf pan a couple spoonfuls at a time. (There is no rhyme or reason when layering; you want it to be imperfect.) Once all of the base has been added to the pan, swirl the two using a skewer or butter knife. Sprinkle an assortment of sprinkles over the top and wrap lightly with plastic wrap. Freeze overnight.
• When ready to serve, scoop into individual glasses and top with additional sprinkles.

VANILLA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Heat the cream, sugar, vanilla, and vanilla seeds in a small saucepan only until the sugar is dissolved. Be sure the sugar is dissolved - you will no longer feel any grittiness from the sugar if you rub some cream between your fingers. Strain into a bowl, cover, and chill very well. Freeze the mixture in an ice cream freezer according to the manufacturer's directions. Spoon into a freezer container and allow to chill in the freezer for a few hours. Allow to soften before serving.

VANILLA ICE CREAM - PIONEER WOMAN RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:

• Heat half-and-half and 2 cups sugar in a saucepan over low heat, adding vanilla "caviar" to the mixture. (You can also drop in the scraped vanilla bean, just to extract all the flavor. Make sure to discard the bean before moving to the next step.) Turn off heat when mixture is totally heated. Beat egg yolks by hand or with an electric mixer until yolks are pale yellow and slightly thick. Temper the egg yolks by slowly drizzling into the 1 1/2 cups of hot half-and-half mixture, whisking constantly. After that, slowly pour the egg yolk/half-and-half mixture into the pan containing the rest of the half-and-half mixture. Cook over low to medium-low heat (depending on how hot your stove gets) until quite thick, stirring constantly. Drain custard using a fine mesh strainer, then pour into a bowl with the heavy cream. Stir to combine. Chill mixture completely, then freeze in an ice cream maker until thick. Place container in freezer to harden for at least eight hours. Serve with something chocolate. Enjoy! For the chocolate ice cream: Melt the dark chocolate chips with the heavy cream over a double boiler. When the chocolate and cream mixture is smooth and melted, add 1 cup of the reserved custard and combine. Return this mixture back to the pitcher. (This step is to ease the mixing process to make it easier to pour back into the custard and could therefore be omitted.) Whisk the cocoa into the pitcher. Pour into an ice cream maker and churn as per the manufacturer's instructions. (This will take approximately 1 hour.) For the strawberry ice cream layer: Combine the strawberries, sugar and red food coloring in a blender and puree until smooth (or you can stop just short of smooth if you want a little texture). Pour the pureed strawberries into the final third of the chilled custard mixtures and stir. Pour into the ice cream maker and churn. To make Neapolitan Ice Cream, equally divide the vanilla custard into 3 bowls - one to use as the vanilla layer, one to use as the chocolate layer and one to use as the strawberry layer. Line a 6-cup loaf pan with plastic wrap. Scoop the chocolate ice cream into the pan. Smooth over and place in the freezer for at least 1 hour. For the vanilla ice-cream layer, add the vanilla custard to the ice cream maker and churn according to the instructions. Spread over chocolate ice cream layer and put in freezer for an hour. For the strawberry ice cream layer, pour the strawberry mixture into the ice cream maker and churn according to instructions. Spread over the vanilla ice cream layer and put in freezer for at least an hour. To serve: Remove the loaf pan from the freezer, turn upside down onto a serving plate and remove the plastic wrap. Slice neatly with a knife that has been dipped in very hot water. Serve immediately.

VANILLA BEAN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Split vanilla beans lengthwise with a sharp paring knife. Gently scrape out all the seeds.
• Place vanilla-bean scrapings and pods in a medium saucepan with milk. Scald the mixture, cover, and remove from heat. Let steep for 30 minutes.
• Combine egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat at medium-high speed until very thick and pale yellow, 3 to 5 minutes. Alternatively, whisk together in a medium bowl.
• Return milk to stove, and bring just to a simmer. Using a measuring cup or ladle, slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot-milk mixture into the egg-yolk mixture, whisking constantly on low speed until blended. Keep adding milk mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time, until it has all been added. Whisk until combined.
• Pour mixture back into saucepan, and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 3 to 5 minutes. The custard should retain a line drawn across the back of the spoon with your finger.
• Fill a large bowl with ice and water. Remove pan from heat, and immediately stir in chilled cream to stop the custard from cooking. Pour through a mesh sieve into a medium bowl set in the ice bath, and stir occasionally until cooled. (Discard vanilla-bean pod and strained seeds.) Stir vanilla extract into cooled custard. Cover bowl, and transfer to refrigerator until chilled, at least 30 minutes or overnight.
• Pour custard into an ice-cream maker, following the manufacturer's instructions. Churn until the ice cream is just set, but not hard.
• Transfer soft ice cream to an airtight plastic container; freeze at least 4 hours and up to 1 week.
• If you don't have an ice-cream maker, you can still make ice-cream. After you have made up your mixture, transfer it to a lidded plastic box (a shallow one enables the freezing to happen more quickly and also makes whisking easier as the beater can go down straight into the box) and put it in the coldest part of the freezer for two hours, or until the contents become firm at the edges. At this stage, empty out the box into a mixing bowl and whisk the ice cream with an electric hand whisk to break down the ice crystals. Return the box to the freezer and freeze for another two hours, then repeat the whisking process. Refreeze the ice-cream ( if making a sorbet that contains a generous quantity of alcohol, freeze overnight ) until 30-45 minutes before you want to serve it, at which time you should transfer it into the fridge to soften. Incidentally, it's a good idea to arm yourself with a digital kitchen timer to remind you to remove the ice cream and whip it at various stages.
