  • On Saturday mornings during the summer, I get up super early so I can hit the local farmers market as soon as they open.
  • And the prize for my punctuality is a pint, or maybe two, of sweet cream ice cream.
  • I love that unadulterated cream flavor.
  • They always sell out early, so Dan is going to show me a version I can make at home so I don't have to get up so early.
  • I know.
  • That's all I want is for you to have a nice restful Saturday.
  • You know, you really care.
  • I really do care.
  • So we're going to start with nonfat dry milk powder.
  • This is a half a cup plus a third of a cup.
  • Slightly unusual for home cooks making ice cream.
  • It's really common in the commercial world.
  • Okay.
  • And what this is going to do is actually going to change the proportion of solids to liquid in the mix.
  • To that, I'm going to add a third of a cup of sugar.
  • Now, sugar obviously makes the ice cream sweet, but it has a far more important role in here.
  • It actually depresses the freezing point of the mix, and it keeps more of the water from turning to ice in the first place.
  • So, it's really important to get the sugar right.
  • So, we have a third of a cup there.
  • And finally, a quarter teaspoon of kosher salt.
  • This is primarily just for flavor.
  • So, I'm going to whisk this together.
  • Milk powder, when it hits a liquid, has a tendency to clump up.
  • So, adding the sugar in there, it gets in the way of all of the milk powder so it doesn't clump.
  • Now it's time for our liquid component, and we're using a pretty classic ratio of fifty percent milk, whole milk, and fifty percent cream.
  • So I'm going to start here with just one and a quarter cups of milk.
  • We're going to use a quarter cup later.
  • And I'm going to add one and a half cups of heavy cream.
  • I'm also gonna add a quarter of a cup of corn syrup.
  • Now, this is a really key ingredient as well.
  • Corn syrup is less sweet than sugar, but it provides a lot of the same benefits.
  • So it'll help control water.
  • We'll get something that's really rich and creamy without a lot of iciness.
  • So now we're gonna whisk in our milk powder, sugar, and salt mixture.
  • So now I'm gonna heat this over medium high heat.
  • We're going to bring it up to a hundred and ninety degrees.
  • It's going to take probably five to seven minutes.
  • And there are two goals here.
  • One is to dissolve that sugar, dissolve that milk powder.
  • And the other is to get it to a hot enough temperature to gel our cornstarch, which is the next thing that we're going to work on.
  • Okay.
  • Cornstarch is going to be one of our really important stabilizers here.
  • So I have five teaspoons of cornstarch, and I'm adding it to that quarter cup of milk that I referenced before.
  • And you'll see this base is gonna be really thick compared to some other bases that you've worked with, and that's really nice.
  • It's gonna give a nice richness to the final ice cream.
  • I've been checking it, and I think we're very close.
  • Let's look here.
  • We're looking for it at one ninety, and that looks perfect.
  • That's great.
  • So I'm just gonna whisk the cornstarch slurry to recombine.
  • Sometimes that cornstarch will settle out, and then we'll go right into our pot.
  • I'm going to cook this for about thirty seconds, and I'm going to scrape along the bottom.
  • Again, as it thickens, that can form a layer.
  • It's really easy to have that happen.
  • So, scraping along the bottom is really good practice anytime you're working with, you know, adding a slurry or something.
  • And we're going to watch this thicken up really nicely in about thirty seconds.
  • Okay, great.
  • That looks beautiful.
  • Turn off the heat, and we're going to strain this immediately.
  • Obviously, there can always be little clumps when you're working with a slurry like this.
  • It's just good practice to put it through a strainer.
  • Beautiful.
  • So we're gonna let this cool on the counter until it's no longer steaming, no longer super hot, and then pop it in the fridge for at least six hours.
  • We wanna get it down to forty degrees, which is the temperature of most fridges.
  • So when this goes into our ice cream maker, we want it to freeze as quickly as possible.
  • Fast freezing equals small ice crystals.
  • At Cooks Illustrated, we're food nerds.

  • So it's time to churn and we get the canister straight from the freezer.
  • Okay.
  • With this kind of ice cream maker, it's incredibly important that this is well chilled.
  • This is all of your cooling power right here, and you don't get any more of it while it's sitting out here.
  • So at least twenty four hours, preferably up to forty eight hours in the freezer ahead of time.
  • We now have our fully chilled base.
  • Very cold.
  • And I just want to prove it to you, we've got
  • So an ice cream machine is actually a really simple thing.
  • We've got our cooling surface.
  • In this case, it's the canister that was in the freezer.
  • Then we have a dasher, and this has a nice, relatively sharp blade, and that's going to scrape the ice cream that solidifies on the walls into the center, and it's going to keep doing that the whole process.
  • So that goes in, and then we just put our lid on top.
  • That holds the dasher centered, and the canister actually spins.
  • Perfect.
  • And then we just turn it on, and we're gonna get our base in there.
  • And during this process, a couple of really key things are happening.
  • We're incorporating some air, so it lightens the ice cream a bit, and we're creating lots of tiny little ice crystals.
  • So we're gonna let this go until it's twenty one degrees and soft serve consistency, which can take up to about thirty minutes.
  • Okay.
  • All right, so take a look in here.
  • We've got some beautiful soft serve ice cream.
  • Doesn't it look so good?
  • So I'm just going to take the temp.
  • And again, we're looking for about twenty one degrees and we are right there.
  • That's awesome.
  • So I'm going to turn this off.
  • Take our top off.
  • So take this out.
  • And we'll pull up our dasher first.
  • Isn't that so beautiful?
  • I'm going to scrape off the dasher first and get it right into our container.
  • Just look at that.
  • It's hard not to eat the ice cream at this point, you know?
  • And you can.
  • But like you said, it's soft serve at this point.
  • Yep.
  • Final step before we pop it in the freezer is to just make sure you get rid of as many air pockets as you can.
  • Pack it in there really nicely.
  • And that looks great.
  • Just pop on our lid.
  • So, we've got a quart of future hard ice cream here.
  • We're going to put it in the freezer for at least two hours to firm up.
  • Overnight or longer is totally fine.
  • I'm going to pop it in there, and then we can eat soon.
  • So, our ice cream has been hardening for two hours, and this is the most simple presentation possible because it's sweet cream ice cream, right?
  • We want to taste that beautiful dairy.
  • No toppings, just some nice cones.
  • And get our scoop in there.
  • Oh, yeah.
  • That's beautiful.
  • Lovely.
  • Cheers.
  • Cheers.
  • Silky smooth.
  • Silky smooth.
  • Yep.
  • Not a crystal in sight.
  • Yep.
  • I love the flavor of sweet cream ice cream.
  • It almost has a buttery taste to it because you really taste that good quality dairy.
  • So how long does the ice cream stay good?
  • It can actually last a lot longer than a lot of homemade ice creams because we have so many good stabilizers in there.
  • So five days in the freezer and it's going to be really good still.
  • I think I'm going to sleep in this Saturday.
  • You are?
  • Yeah.
