Dolly Madison Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe 45

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.

DOLLY MADISON VANILLA ICE CREAM RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Mix

CREAMY DREAMY VANILLA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Whisk the half-and-half, condensed milk, sugar, vanilla seeds and salt together until sugar is dissolved. Churn the mixture in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions. (Take care not to over-churn the ice cream or it can have a grainy texture.)
• Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze until firm, at least 1 hour, before serving.

VANILLA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Beat together the eggs, yolks and sugar until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is pale and lemon-colored. (This can be easily done in a food processor.)
• Meanwhile, heat the cream and milk with the vanilla, lemon peel and coriander. Remove from heat just before it reaches the boiling point.
• Pour the mixture in a thin stream into the eggs and mix thoroughly. If you are using a food processor, remove the bag of coriander seeds while you do this.
• Pour the mixture into a double boiler and place over very hot water on a medium flame. (You can also use a thick sauce pan placed on an iron trivet over a low flame.) If you have removed the coriander bag, return it to the mixture. Cook until thickened to the consistency of custard, stirring from time to time.
• Remove from heat and cool, whisking occasionally as the mixture cools. Remove the coriander bag and the lemon peel. (If you have used a food processor, the lemon peel will have been chopped up into the custard.)
• Place the mixture in an ice-cream maker and follow the manfacturer's directions. (If you do not have an ice-cream maker, place the mixture in freezer trays, cover with foil and freeze in the refrigerator at its coldest setting. Stir every so often to prevent ice crystals from forming.)

DOLLEY MADISON LAYER CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter four 8-by-2-inch round cake pans, set aside.
• Beat egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until stiff peaks form; set aside.
• In the clean bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugar. With the mixer running, slowly add milk; mix until well combined. Sift together flour and cornstarch; slowly add to mixer and beat until well combined. Add vanilla and mix well.
• Gently fold in reserved egg whites and divide evenly between prepared pans. Bake until cake springs back when lightly touched, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in cake pans on wire racks, about 10 minutes. Remove from pans and let cool completely on wire racks.
• Place 4 strips of parchment paper around perimeter of a serving plate or lazy Susan. Place the first layer on the cake plate. Pour over about 1/2 cup icing, spreading evenly to cover. Repeat process with 2 more layers. Repeat process with two more layers. Place the remaining layer on top of the third layer and cover cake completely with remaining icing.

HOMEMADE VANILLA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the vanilla beans and scrapings with the milk. Bring to a gentle boil. Remove from heat, and let steep, covered, 30 minutes.
• Prepare an ice bath; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg yolks and sugar on medium-high speed until thick and pale, about 4 minutes.
• Place milk mixture over medium-high heat; bring just to a simmer. Slowly pour about 1/4 cup hot-milk mixture into egg-yolk mixture, beating on low speed until blended. Continue adding milk, about 1/2 cup at a time, beating until incorporated after each addition.
• Return mixture to saucepan; stir with a wooden spoon over low heat until mixture is thick enough to coat back of spoon, 3 to 5 minutes. Custard should retain a line drawn across the back of the spoon with your fingertip.
• Remove pan from heat; stir in chilled cream to stop cooking. Pour custard through a fine sieve into a medium bowl set in ice bath; let stand, stirring occasionally, until chilled. Stir in extract. Freeze in an ice-cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions.
