GOURMET FLAVORS

VANILLA BEAN

Makes about ten 12 cup servings

134 cups whole milk

134 cups heavy cream

1whole vanilla bean (about 6 inches in length)

4large egg yolks

34cup granulated sugar

112 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Combine the milk and cream in a medium saucepan with a heavy bottom. Use a sharp knife to split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise. Use the blunt edge to scrape out the “seeds”. Stir the seeds and bean pod into the milk/cream mixture. Bring the mixture to a slow boil over medium heat, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Combine egg yolks and sugar in a medium bowl. Use a hand mixer on medium speed to beat until the mixture is thick, smooth, and pale yellow in color (similar to mayonnaise), about 2 minutes.

Remove the vanilla bean pod from the milk/cream mixture and discard. Pour out 1 cup of the hot liquid. With the mixer on low speed, add the cup of hot milk/cream to the egg mixture in a slow steady stream. When thoroughly combined, pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan and stir to combine. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium low heat until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Transfer to a bowl, cover with a sheet of plastic wrap placed directly on the custard, and chill completely.

Pour the chilled custard into the freezer bowl, turn the machine ON and let mix until thickened, about 25 - 30 minutes.

Fresh Strawberries & Cream: Purée 1 pound fresh or frozen thawed strawberries in a food processor or blender. Strain through a fine mesh sieve and discard seeds. You will have about 8-10 ounces strawberry purée. Prepare Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, reducing amount of milk by

12 cup. Stir in strawberry purée. Mix/chill ice cream as directed.

Five minutes before ice cream is ready, add 12 cup sliced or quartered fresh strawberries.

DECADENT DOUBLE CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM

Makes ten 12 cup servings

113 cups whole milk

112 cups heavy cream

12cup granulated sugar

14cup packed brown sugar

34cup Dutch process cocoa

4 large eggs

6ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

112 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

112 teaspoons pure chocolate extract

4ounces good quality white chocolate or bittersweet chocolate, chopped

In a medium saucepan with a heavy bottom, combine the whole milk and heavy cream over medium low heat and bring to a simmer.

Combine the sugars, cocoa, and eggs in a medium bowl; use a hand mixer on medium speed to beat until thickened like mayonnaise. Measure 1 cup of the hot milk/cream mixture. With the mixer on low speed, add the hot milk/cream in a slow, steady stream to the thickened egg mixture and mix until completely incorporated. Stir the chopped chocolate into the saucepan with the hot milk/cream; stir until chocolate is melted. Stir the egg mixture into the hot milk/cream. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to resemble a chocolate pudding. Transfer the chocolate mixture to a bowl. Stir in the vanilla and chocolate extracts. Cover with plastic wrap placed directly on the surface of the chocolate mixture, and refrigerate until completely cooled (8 hours or overnight).
