Ice Cream
-
Joe Hell Jonathon Chef Austin I was looking for a recipe to use up my over abundance of green chile’s and found a recipie for Corn and Hatch Green Chile Ice Cream. This is probably a good for the recipe for disaster contest as well.

Tex_77 good morning. This is the recipe I have been using for years. I like mine with a little vanilla bean in it, wife and kids like things like peaches or strawberries.
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• ⅔ cup sugar
• ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
• 6 large egg yolks
• Flavorings or fruit as desired
• 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. Whisking 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. ChurnChef Nothing like ice cold homemade ice cream, especially vanilla & strawberry, on a hot day in July in the hot Texas sun. Of course there are some other good flavors too!

calldoctoday I agree the only favor I have not been able to duplicate is Blue Bell’s chocolate decadence. They only make it about once every 5 years. My favorite!

Chef Oohh, that is a good one & of course, nothing like Blue Bell, other than remembering when it was $1.00 a gallon & we thought it was a little high, but good. Other than that, I would just about give my left arm for one of those hand cranked churns like when we were kids & everyone begged a chance at the churn. No electronic games for us. I found one at an antique store one time in horrible condition & they wanted a left arm for it, so I did not bite. Back then the motorized one like what we have today would have been considered a luxury, but the hand crank model was built much better.

calldoctoday and Chef Funny story with Blue Bell, when I lived down in Dallas they had (probably still have) a sports station called the ticket (yup, they do https://www.theticket.com/) and they used to do these ridiculously funny skits. My brother and I would be crying on the drive in and out of work. Well they did one that was a parody of the Blue Bell commercials and it was unreal. Years later I was talking to Corby Davidson and he said they had to get rid of ALL copies of that because they got in so much trouble over it!
Sorry, totally off topic but I can’t think of Blue Bell without laughing about that story.

Jonathon It is Ok, being here in Alabama now (we were amused to find they sell Bluebell here & actually have a plant too, immediately after being transferred here) we miss al the Blue Bell Commercials, etc. from Texas. I took the boys with an an assignment up to Brenham one time for a tour of the plant & free ice cream. They liked that, but not sure they do it anymore, especially with all this Corona Business. Of course, we don’t watch much TV anyways, anymore, so who knows what all we are missing!

If you ever get the chance use Duck Egg Yolks! You won’t believe what happens with the extra fat and protein of duck.
@Fat-Bob You are so right about duck eggs. Bakers will all say that the best and riches cakes are made with duck eggs. SO much so that I’m looking into raising ducks just for the eggs.

Chef That’s just about like me raising rabbits just for the manure. No, that was not a good analogy. Sorry about that. Duck Eggs are RICH!

Chef To bad your not closer. I have 10 and get 10 eggs every day! Only abut 120 right now. Give them away like crazy. lol
@Fat-Bob That it would be. Likely cooler there too!

Chef and @Fat-Bob we used to raise poultry, including ducks and their eggs went for a premium. Never used them in ice cream, wish I had now thinking about it. But there was a noticable change/improvement in baked goods. I didn’t care for them to much as fried eggs, pretty dense and rich.

Well, James bond has been deleted from Meatgistics…not a sentence I ever thought I would have to type but life is strange!

TexLaw I made a test batch the other day using Monk Fruit Sweetener instead of sugar and it turned out great. The drawback is that it is pretty expensive stuff. I made an “Irish Coffee” ice cream. Standard Coffee Ice Cream recipe with a touch of whiskey! Alcohol is also said to aid in a creamy texture.

I’ve finally made it, ate half of it instantly. Thank you for that post. Chimney Sweep indeed.
