Sweet Cream Bases
Sweet Cream Base I
Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1 to 2
minutes. Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue
whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more. Pour in the
cream and milk and whisk to blend.
Sweet Cream Base II
This simple recipe is made with a minimum of ingredients and
requires no cooking. It makes a very creamy ice cream with 25%
butterfat, but it does not store well in home freezers, so be
prepared to eat it all.
Pour the cream into a mixing bowl. Whisk in the sugar, a little at a
time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1
minute more. Pour in the half-and-half and whisk to blend.
Sweet Cream Base III
This recipe makes a less creamy, less rich ice cream. Ben likes the
slightly "cooked" flavor of the sweetened condensed milk.
Whisk the light cream and the sweetened condensed milk together in a
mixing bowl until blended. |
