Makeover Lemon Custard Ice Cream Recipes

LEMON CUSTARD ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Mix the heavy cream, milk, sugar, zest, and salt in a medium pot over the stove. Warm over medium-high heat until you see bubbles on the surface, approximately 9 minutes. Whisk occasionally. Remove from the heat as soon as you see it boil.
• Whisk the yolks in a large mixing bowl. Steadily and slowly pour the warm cream mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the yolks from cooking.
• Return to the pot and warm on the stove for 3-5 minutes until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. This means, you can run your finger through the liquid and when it won't fill back in where you drew a line with your finger.
• Stir in the lemon juice. I highly recommend blending in a high speed blender for the most luscious texture and flavor. Cool the mixture in the fridge or use an ice bath to save time.
• Pour the chilled lemon mixture into the freezer bowl of a 1 1/2-quart electric ice cream maker, and proceed according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Transfer ice cream to a freezer-safe container; press a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap directly on surface, and seal with an airtight lid. Place in freezer at least 4 hours or overnight.

YUMMY LEMON CUSTARD ICE CREAM

Steps:

• 1. Beat egg yolks in a small bowl and set aside.

• 3. Stir in about 3 or 4 tablespoons of the hot custard mixture into the egg yolks, one tablespoon at a time. This is important because it brings the temperature of the eggs up so when you add the egg mixture to the custard it does not cook the eggs and make your custard lumpy.
• 4. Slowly stir in the egg yolk mixture into the custard mixture.
• 5. Return the custard to medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Allow mixture to boil for about a minute. Remove from heat.

• 11. Freeze according to directions.
• 12. Once freezer stops, pour into an air tight container and freeze for three or four hours (or until completely frozen). Yummmmm!

• Whip the double cream until it forms soft peaks, then stir in the lemon zest and juice. Fold this into the custard mixture.
• Pour into an ice cream machine and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Gently fold in the meringue, then spoon into a freezer container and freeze. Remove from the freezer at least half an hour before serving. To serve, scoop into the ice cream cones and eat immediately.

THE ULTIMATE MAKEOVER: VANILLA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Freeze the canister from the ice-cream machine a day before you make the ice cream (if your machine requires you to). Next day, mix the sugar, custard powder and cornflour with 2 tbsp milk to make a thin paste. Beat in egg yolks. Pour the rest of the milk into a pan, scrape in the vanilla seeds, add the pod, then bring to the boil. Pour this slowly over the cornflour mix, stirring all the time as you do so. Clean the pan, then pour the milk mixture and vanilla pod back into it. Cook over a medium heat, stirring all the time, until it just comes to the boil and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
• Remove from the heat, stir in the crème fraîche, then pour into a bowl. Place a piece of greaseproof paper over the surface to prevent a skin forming, then leave to cool. Put into the fridge until really cold for at least 4-5 hrs (preferably overnight).
• Remove the paper and vanilla pod from the custard, then transfer the custard into a jug. Turn on the ice cream machine, then slowly pour in the custard. Leave to churn for 10-30 mins (depending on your machine). When it stops, spoon into a plastic container, cover with cling film and a lid, then freeze for at least 3-4 hrs. (Will keep for up to 1 month. Do not re-freeze.) For the best taste, remove from the freezer and soften in the fridge for 1-1½ hrs before serving. Serve with fresh fruit.

CLASSIC CUSTARD ICE CREAM BASE

Steps:

• In a small pot, simmer heavy cream, milk, sugar and salt until sugar completely dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove pot from heat. In a separate bowl, whisk yolks. Stirring constantly, slowly whisk about a third of the hot cream into the yolks, then whisk the yolk mixture back into the pot with the cream. Return pot to medium-low heat and gently cook until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer).
• Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Cool mixture to room temperature. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or overnight. Churn in an ice cream machine according to manufacturers' instructions. Serve directly from the machine for soft serve, or store in freezer until needed.
