Basic vanilla custard
5 eggs, whisked together
500ml unsweetened almond milk (
you can use normal but you may need to adjust the sugar)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup (80ml) maple syrup or
other sweetener, start with 1 T and keep
tasting your mix until it is to your preference
Method
In a medium pot heat milk until
just below boiling point- do not let it boil. Have a strainer and bowl ready to
strain the custard.
Mix eggs and vanilla with the
maple syrup then add a little of the hot milk and keep whisking, add a little
more milk. If you add the milk all at once you will curdle the milk. Add the
rest of the milk in then add back to the pot and put back on a low heat. Use a
wooden spoon and keep stirring until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon,
you should be able to run your finger through it and make a good line. Do not
boil or you will ruin it, just keep it slow and gentle. When it is done strain
into your bowl and leave to cool then put in the freezer for a few hours. When
it has been frozen it will be very hard, so you want to have the gelato in
pieces and put in food processor until all the lumps are smooth and mix is
creamy. This is your basic gelato style ice cream.
You can experiment with different
flavours once you know this basic recipe. The key is to process the next day
and freeze it again, this add more air which makes it easier for you to scoop
out.
Choconut- 2 T cacao/ 2 T nut
butter blended in when you process it. If you want to have a swirl effect add a
little sweetener and almond milk to make a mix that you can drizzle over your
gelato after the first freeze and after you have processed the gelato; use a
pointed utensil and swirl through, then refreeze.
The blogs are really appreciable and one can trust the knowledge and information provided in the writing. The article you do produce on a weekly base really the best. I have found a similar website pure gelato cakes visit the site to know more about Pure Gelato.
