Classic Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

Remembering the simplicity of a creamy scoop takes me back to quieter times, when the world moved just a bit slower. Classic vanilla bean ice cream, with its rich aroma and velvety texture, is a testament to the beauty of basic ingredients coming together.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of heavy cream, because richness is key
• 1 cup of whole milk, for that perfect balance
• 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, to sweeten just right
• A pinch of salt, to elevate all the flavors
• 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped, for those beautiful specks
• 5 large egg yolks, to thicken and enrich
• A splash of pure vanilla extract, because more vanilla never hurts

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, half the sugar, and the salt. Warm over medium heat until it just begins to steam, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
2. While the cream mixture warms, whisk the egg yolks with the remaining sugar in a separate bowl until pale and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
3. Slowly pour about half of the warm cream mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. This prevents them from scrambling.
4. Pour the yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Do not let it boil.
5. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any cooked egg bits. Stir in the vanilla bean seeds and extract.
6. Cover the custard with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
7. Churn the custard in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
8. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving to firm up.

Unbelievably smooth and fragrant, this vanilla bean ice cream is a dream on its own or paired with a warm slice of pie. The tiny black specks tell the story of real vanilla, promising a depth of flavor that’s both comforting and luxurious.

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Tip: Warming the milk slightly can help the sugar dissolve faster.
2. Stir in the vanilla extract and finely ground espresso, ensuring the espresso is evenly distributed throughout the mixture. Tip: For an extra smooth texture, sift the espresso powder to avoid any clumps.
3. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes. Tip: Don’t overfill the ice cream maker; the mixture will expand as it churns.
4. In the last 5 minutes of churning, add the mini chocolate chips, letting them mix evenly into the ice cream.
5. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

The texture is luxuriously creamy, with the espresso lending a sophisticated depth that’s perfectly balanced by the sweet, chocolatey bites. Try serving it sandwiched between two espresso-infused cookies for an extra coffee kick.

Cherry Garcia Inspired Ice Cream

Beneath the soft glow of the kitchen light, there’s something deeply comforting about churning your own ice cream, especially when it’s inspired by the iconic Cherry Garcia. This recipe is a homage to those quiet moments of indulgence, blending tart cherries and rich chocolate into a creamy dream.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of heavy cream, cold as a winter morning
• 1 cup of whole milk, just a splash more than you think you need
• 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, because sweetness is non-negotiable
• 1 tablespoon of pure vanilla extract, for that whisper of warmth
• 1 cup of dark chocolate chunks, roughly chopped for uneven pockets of joy
• 1 cup of fresh cherries, pitted and halved, their tartness a perfect counterpoint
• A pinch of salt, to make everything pop

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar dissolves completely. This is your base, so take your time to ensure it’s smooth.
2. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes. The texture should resemble soft-serve.
3. Gently fold in the chocolate chunks and cherries with a spatula, distributing them evenly but carefully to avoid crushing the fruit.
4. Transfer the ice cream to a loaf pan or airtight container. Press a piece of parchment paper directly onto the surface to prevent ice crystals, then freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
5. Tip: For the creamiest texture, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping. This little patience pays off in smooth, dreamy scoops.

How the cherries bleed into the cream, creating swirls of pink amidst the dark chocolate, is nothing short of magical. Serve it in a waffle cone for that nostalgic crunch, or alongside a warm brownie for a decadent contrast.

Toasted Marshmallow Ice Cream

Gently, as the evening settles in, there’s something profoundly comforting about the idea of transforming the simple joy of toasted marshmallows into a creamy, dreamy ice cream. It’s a nostalgic twist that brings back memories of campfires and starry nights, now reimagined as a sweet escape in a bowl.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of heavy cream, because richness is key
• 1 cup of whole milk, for that smooth texture
• 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, to sweeten the deal
• A pinch of salt, to balance the sweetness
• 1 tbsp of vanilla extract, for a hint of warmth
• 1 cup of mini marshmallows, plus a handful more for toasting
• A splash of vegetable oil, just to grease the pan

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and salt. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves completely, about 5 minutes. Tip: Avoid boiling to keep the mixture smooth.
2. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. Tip: Chilling thoroughly ensures a creamier texture.
3. Once chilled, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes. Tip: The mixture should thicken noticeably but not fully harden.
4. While the ice cream churns, heat a splash of vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a handful of mini marshmallows, stirring constantly until they’re golden and toasted, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn them.
5. In the last 5 minutes of churning, add the toasted marshmallows and the remaining cup of mini marshmallows to the ice cream, allowing them to mix in evenly.
6. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container, cover, and freeze until firm, about 2 hours.

Once ready, the ice cream boasts a velvety texture with pockets of gooey marshmallow and crispy toasted bits. Serve it in waffle cones for an extra crunch or layer it between cookies for an indulgent ice cream sandwich. Overtime, this dessert becomes a beloved staple, a sweet reminder of simplicity and joy.
