White Chocolate Ice Cream Recipes

WHITE CHOCOLATE AND RASPBERRY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Heat milk, sugar, vanilla bean and seeds, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat until warm, about 5 minutes.
• Whisk egg yolks and about 1 cup warm milk mixture in a bowl; stir egg mixture into saucepan. Continue to cook and stir until custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove vanilla bean. Stir white chocolate chips into custard until melted. Pour custard into a large bowl and stir in heavy cream and vanilla extract. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
• Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions until it reaches "soft-serve" consistency.
• Heat raspberries in a saucepan over medium heat until raspberries begin to fall apart, 7 to 10 minutes. Press raspberries through a sieve over a bowl to remove the seeds; discard seeds.
• Gently swirl raspberries into the soft ice cream creating ribbons of raspberries. Transfer ice cream to a one- or two-quart lidded plastic container; cover surface with plastic wrap and seal. For best results, ice cream should ripen in the freezer for at least 2 hours or overnight.

WHITE CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Put the chocolate pieces in a large bowl and set a mesh strainer over the top.
• Warm the milk, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, then scrape the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan.
• Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat with a heatproof spatula, scraping the bottom as you stir, until the mixture thickens and coats the spatula. Pour the custard through the strainer over the white chocolate. Stir until the white chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth, then stir in the cream. Stir until cool over an ice bath.
• Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator, then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

• For Black and White Chocolate Ice Cream, layer one recipe of Fudge Ripple (page 210), Dark Chocolate Truffles (page 211), or Stracciatella (page 210) into the just-churned ice cream.

WHITE CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Set up an ice bath in a large bowl. Put the chocolate in a medium bowl.
• Put the milk and 1/4 cup of the sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
• Whisk the eggs with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a medium bowl. When the milk is simmering, slowly whisk about 1 cup into the eggs for about 1 minute to temper them (keep the pan off the heat while you do this). Then scrape the eggs into the saucepan and cook, stirring pretty much constantly, until the mixture reaches 180°F. Keep an eye on the color of the foam on the surface; when it turns the same color as the mixture, you're very close to the right temperature.
• Strain over the chocolate and leave for about 1 minute. Then mix thoroughly with an immersion blender. Set into the ice bath and chill completely, stirring often.
• Freeze in an ice cream maker, then transfer to a plastic container and freeze overnight before serving.
