Hello this is Chef John from foodwishes.com today I’m going to show you my recipe for homemade vanilla ice cream Philadelphia style also known as American style not French style which has eggs this doesn’t contain any egg custard this is just sugar as you see here cream all right and some milk now

You can do combinations of cream and milk just milk just cream but this is my kind of favorite blend all the amounts are on the website by the way as you well know so we’re going to take the sugar the cream and the milk and we

Going to Simply heat it up to melt and dissolve the Sugar We’re Not Really Cooking anything here we’re using low heat we’re going to stir it and when you see uh kind of little foamy bubbles forming around the edge see that all right you see little wisps of steam

That’s when you know you’re pretty much done okay so you don’t want this to boil or simmer soon as it’s hot and all that Sugar’s dissolved just turn it off and transfer it into a pourable glass container something like that or some kind of piter okay we’re going to stir

In two t te spoons of vanilla and what we’re going to do is we’re going to chill that for at least 2 hours until it’s really cold or overnight even better and that really really helps the texture of this ice cream mixture there’s my quart ice cream maker so

Simple to use so easy that’s the base the motor this is called the bucket which stays in your freezer so that freezes all right so in that is some kind of liquid it stays super cold you’re going to put in the paddle it’s called that’s the guard or the cover and

Then we’re going to flip it on and make ice cream so what we’re going to do is you’re going to pour in your cold ice cream mixture it has to be cold has to be cold so you’re going to pour that in and that’s going to churn for about 20

To 25 minutes and you’ll see it actually will change pitch which is one of the great kind of meditations of making homemade ice cream you you listen to it sounds like this and then as it gets thicker the sound changes you’ll see that paddle kind of scraping the edge it

Basically scrapes sces the uh partially frozen ice cream and mixes it back in so you don’t get any crystallization uh which is what makes Bad Ice Cream okay this makes a really nice smooth creamy ice cream and there you go it’s getting thick it’s getting thick oh we’re there

So once it’s that texture that consistency almost like a soft serve or a frozen yogurt type consistency you’re going to take your spatula you’re going to clean off your paddle and then you could serve this like this it’s kind of a soft serve version what I like to do

Is put a piece of plastic over it make sure it’s tapped down so there’s no air pockets and then just put it in the freezer for a few hours and it will kind of firm up and look at that how beautiful is that look it come on get one of those

Quez art ice cream makers they’re not expensive you’ll see on the site I’ll have a link to it and uh you know that would have been nice but I’m not done I’m going to go with two scoops and some delicious homemade caramel sauce that uh
