Serious Vanilla Ice Cream
RECIPE COURTESY OF ALTON BROWN
Level: Easy
Total: 11 hr
Prep: 10 hr
Cook: 1 hr
Yield: 1 quart
Ingredients
2 cups half-and-half
1 cup whipping cream
1 cup minus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons peach preserves (not jelly)
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
Directions
Combine all ingredients (including the bean and its pulp) in a large saucepan and place over medium heat. Attach a frying or candy thermometer to inside of pan. (see note below) Stirring occasionally, bring the mixture to 170 degrees F. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Remove the hull of the vanilla bean, pour mixture into lidded container and refrigerate mixture overnight to mellow flavors and texture.
Freeze mixture in ice cream freezer according to unit’s instructions. The mixture will not freeze hard in the machine. Once the volume has increased by 1/2 to 3/4 times, and reached a soft serve consistency, spoon the mixture back into a lidded container and harden in the freezer at least 1 hour before serving.
NOTE: If you do not have a thermometer, bring the mixture just barely to a simmer. As soon as you see a bubble hit the surface, remove it from the heat. Do not let it boil.

What I don't understand is how vanilla ice cream can have peach preserves. At what point does it become peach or peach vanilla ice cream?
This guy is the best!
When recipes start with half and half I cry just a little, you do realise that stuff doesn’t exist outside of USA
Also isn’t an ice cream maker a ‘unitasker’?
Blasphemy! Ice cream strat out of the ice cream maker is the best, so good!
IMPORTANT QUESTION: Is an Ice Cream Maker a Unitasker?
Icecream is the best right out of the machine when it's still soft and not too cold
Im gonna have to buy this new season, aren't I?
No eggs? Never heard of a method without at least yolks anyone try this yet?
Is this from back when Alton was the drummer for Weezer?
Where's the eggs? Ice cream is supposed to have eggs in there.
"It's doubled in size so it's about 100% air."
Video was from 1999 lol
I've become addicted to making ice cream at home but one thing I simply refuse to do is freeze the ice cream before consumption. It's best at soft serve consistency. When I put away what's left into the freezer, it turns rock hard. Not the same experience.
Careful
That thing might kill ur dog and friend
The best cooking show of all time because he actually showed you how to cook and taught about the science behind the food. As opposed to most cooking shows which are just talk shows that have audiences going “ooh” and “ahh”
🚨Attention all Good Eats: The Return fans 🚨 We just posted a new full episode! Watch it now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXEpKjt573I
0:06 i thought he said woman cream lol
Probably the most bland vanilla ice cream ever from what I hear about his recipes…
I miss Cutthroat Kitchen :((
Guy gives me the creeps
I shouldn’t have watched this because now I’m mad that I can’t taste it.
Yummm
Man, you can kill a horse with that amount of sugar – "good eats".
This recipe is AMAZING!
No egg yolks???????
Our go to for ice cream for a decade.
What happened to the ice box cake video?
I really injoy watching this guy
Oh. He's still alive?
I got the jist….Now to make my own version
"I'd say that's about 100 percent air, since it's doubled in volume." NO – what he is really meaning to say is that "the original ice cream mixture has increased by 100%." In other words, it has doubled in volume from its original size.
Boy, do I miss “Good Eats”.
Hmmm peach preserves
Any time I have to heat my ice cream ingredients in a saucepan, I have to add egg yolks.
Made some brownies from scratch. I’m going to break them up and add it to the soft serve mixture and have a brownie vanilla bean ice cream
is still liquid form after 12 hours !!!!
is confusing you don't say what is half and half , and not explaining about ice crystals and hardness . Another confusing is '' 3 cups of dairy what!!! cream, milk, cheese??? what does this have to with sugar ?? you said ''I usually go with one cup ' it would mean dairy , but it is sugar not dairy. !! ! and 3 table spoon of sugar , you don't explain about why mention this where did this come from 3 table spoon of sugar . You don't communicate specific information
Love Good Eats and Alton. When he’s finished scraping the seeds out of the vanilla bean he says “and put the whole thing in.” Does that mean the Whole thing husk and all?
when someone is heating whole cream, he doesn't know ice cream. Never break down the fats by heating it..
I made this recipe and it's not creamy…more like ice milk!
