Vanilla Bean Frozen Custard

GF

4 large egg yolks 1 tablespoon plus 1/3 cup (67 g) granulated sugar 1½ cups (360 ml) milk, whole or 2% 3 tablespoons inverted sugar syrup (page 000) or light agave nectar 1 tablespoon tapioca starch Ÿ teaspoon kosher salt 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

38

Ice Cream Sandwich Secrets

Whisk the yolks with 1 tablespoon of the sugar in a medium bowl until smooth and slightly thickened.

Set aside.

Whisk ½ cup (120 ml) of the milk with the syrup, tapioca, salt, and the remaining šâ &#x201E;Âł cup (67 g) sugar in a 2½-quart (2.4-L) saucepan until no lumps remain. Stir in the cream and the remaining 1 cup (240 ml) milk. Use a paring knife to scrape in the seeds from the vanilla bean; toss in the pod. Heat the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring with a heatproof spatula, until it begins to steam and slightly bubble at the edges.

Ladle 1 cup of the hot mixture into the yolks in a stream as you whisk the mixture to prevent the yolks from scrambling. Whisk the mixture back into the saucepan and cook at a slow simmer, stirring with a spatula, until the mixture thickens enough to thickly coat a spoon, 1 to 2 minutes longer.

Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a metal bowl. (Rinse and save the pod for another use, page 00, or discard.) Stir in the vanilla extract.

Set the bowl over a larger bowl of ice and water.

Stir occasionally until the mixture is cool, taking care not to slosh water into the bowl. Cover and refrigerate until very cold, at least 2 hours. Transfer 39

Cut the kernels from the corn with a sharp knife and break the cobs in half. Put the milk into a 2½-quart (2.4-L) heavy saucepan and add the corn kernels. With the back of the knife, scrape any remaining corn from the cobs into the pot before dropping in the cobs. Bring the milk to a simmer, turn off the heat, and set aside to infuse for 20 minutes.

Remove the corn cobs, scraping any milk clinging to them back into the pot before discarding them. Transfer the corn-milk to a blender and puree until (nearly) smooth. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer back into the saucepan, pressing on the solids to extract as much of the milk as you can; discard the solids.

To the corn-milk in the saucepan, add the sugar, honey, tapioca, and salt. Stir until no lumps of tapioca remain. Heat the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring with a heatproof spatula, until it begins

Cut the kernels from the corn with a sharp knife and break the cobs in half. Put the milk into a 2½-quart (2.4-L) heavy saucepan and add the corn kernels. With the back of the knife, scrape any remaining corn from the cobs into the pot before dropping in the cobs. Bring the milk to a simmer, turn off the heat, and set aside to infuse for 20 minutes.

Remove the corn cobs, scraping any milk clinging to them back into the pot before discarding them. Transfer the corn-milk to a blender and puree until (nearly) smooth. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer back into the saucepan, pressing on the solids to extract as much of the milk as you can; discard the solids.

To the corn-milk in the saucepan, add the sugar, honey, tapioca, and salt. Stir until no lumps of tapioca remain. Heat the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring with a heatproof spatula, until it begins

(Alternatively, drizzle the chocolate over the ice cream as you transfer it to the container, folding it in with a spatula or ice cream paddle to break it up as you go.) Transfer the ice cream to a chilled container, cover, and freeze until firm but still spreadable, about 4 hours.
