Roasted Peach Frozen Custard Recipes

FROZEN CUSTARD

Steps:

• Using a paring knife, split the vanilla bean in half. Use the back of the knife to gently scrape the caviar out of the bean and into a large saucepan. Add the vanilla bean, half-and-half and sugar and heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Whisk the egg yolks in a mixing bowl until pale yellow and slightly thick, 2 to 3 minutes. Temper the yolks by slowly drizzling a ladle of the hot half-and-half mixture into the bowl, whisking the whole time. Repeat with a second ladle of the hot half-and-half mixture, again whisking the whole time.
• Pour the tempered yolks back into the saucepan with the remaining half-and-half mixture and cook over low heat, stirring gently with a wooden spoon, until it's thick enough to coat the back of the spoon, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Set a fine-mesh strainer over a clean bowl. Pour the custard through the strainer into the bowl. Add the heavy cream to the strained mixture and stir everything together. Refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.
• Pour the chilled mix into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and place in the freezer until frozen firm, at least 6 hours (but overnight is best for nice scoopable ice cream). Serve on its own or with warm apple crisp.

FROZEN VANILLA CUSTARD

Steps:

• Whisk egg yolks, sugar, and salt together until mixture changes from dark golden to pale yellow becomes fluffy.
• Heat milk and cream in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom. Cook just until mixture starts to simmer when little bubbles begin to appear on the surface, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Whisk a ladleful of milk-cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Add another ladleful and whisk thoroughly before adding the next (this will keep the eggs from cooking). Gradually add the remaining milk-cream mixture and whisk thoroughly. Whisk in vanilla. Cool completely (you can place the bowl in a larger bowl with ice water to cool it faster).
• Pour cooled mixture into a pitcher; cover. Refrigerate until ice cold or overnight.
• Pour custard mixture into ice cream maker and process (according to manufacturer's instructions) until custard reaches the consistency of soft ice cream, about 20 minutes. Quickly transfer to a plastic container. Place a piece of plastic wrap over the surface of the custard. Cover container and freeze until custard is firm enough to scoop, at least 3 hours.

ROASTED PEACH FROZEN CUSTARD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits, and put the peaches cut side up in a large roasting pan. Sprinkle the peaches with brown sugar and cinnamon and roast them in the oven until they turn golden brown and soft, about 25-30 minutes. After removing them from the oven, let the peaches cool completely before peeling off the peach skin. Place the peaches in the refrigerator in an airtight container to chill for several hours or overnight.
• Warm the milk, sugar, 1 cup of the heavy cream, vanilla bean paste, and salt in a medium sauce pan over low heat, stirring the mixture until the sugar is dissolved, about 10-12 minutes. Then, remove the mixture from the heat, cover it, and let it steep at rom temperature for about 30 minutes.
• Pour the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream into a large bowl, place a fine-mesh sieve on top, and set the bowl aside. Using a second large bowl, whisk the egg yolks, and then slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly. Pour the egg and milk mixture back into the sauce pan, and cook over low heat until the custard thickens and coats the spoon, or about 2 minutes. Be sure to stir the mixture constantly.
• Remove the custard from the heat and strain it through the fine-mesh sieve into the bowl of remaining heavy cream to remove any lumps, and stir to combine the mixtures. Next, place the bowl of custard base in an ice bath to cool it to room temperature for about 10 minutes, stirring the base occasionally. Once cooled, cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill completely for at least 3 hours.
• When both the peaches and the custard base are sufficiently chilled, mash the peaches with a fork, add them to the custard base, and process the ice cream according to your ice cream maker manufacturer's directions.
• Enjoy your frozen custard immediately, or freeze it further for a denser texture.

ROASTED PEACH SUNDAE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Lay the peaches out on the lined baking sheet and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar. Roast until lightly caramelized and tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• In a small saucepot, melt the butter over low heat. Add the honey, cinnamon, lemon juice, remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar and a pinch of kosher salt. Add the peaches. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is slightly reduced, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. If the sauce is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water. Serve warm over vanilla ice cream.

ROASTED-PEACH STREUSEL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle.
• Drizzle 2 tablespoons butter over bottom of a 9-inch baking dish or pie plate and arrange peach halves cut sides up.
• Pulse almonds, flour, 1/3 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a food processor until clumps form.
• Top peaches with streusel and bake until peaches are tender and streusel is browned, about 20 minutes (if browning too quickly, loosely cover with foil).
• Meanwhile, whip cream with almond extract and remaining tablespoon sugar until it just holds soft peaks.
• Serve peaches warm with cream.

PEACH CUSTARD CRUMBLE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Dust the pie crust with flour.
• Combine sugar, flour, butter, eggs, and nutmeg for filling in a medium bowl. Gently fold in peaches. Pour into the prepared pie crust.
• Mix flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon for topping together in another bowl. Pour in melted butter and toss with a fork until crumbs form. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the pie filling.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 45 minutes.
