My father-in-law prided himself on his ice cream making ability. This is the 3rd ice cream recipe I have tried of his, the first two are his Coffee Ice Cream and Chocolate Ice Cream; both are in previous posts. He does have something to be proud of, every one we have tried has been delicious!
Grandpa Dolph's Vanilla Ice Cream
This recipe is half of the original. Grandpa Dolph must have had a very large ice cream maker!
3 cups whole milk
1-1/2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 eggs, well beaten
2 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon vanilla
In a medium size mixing bowl, mix together well beaten egg, sugar, flour, and salt; set aside. In a medium size sauce pan, scald milk to almost boiling (best to use a thermometer and heat to about 200ºF), then slowly whisk into egg mixture (be sure to start very slowly to prevent cooking the egg). Cook mixture in a double boiler* over medium heat and stirring constantly until mixture thickens, but do not boil. Remove from heat, strain, and cool in fridge until well chilled, about an hour. Once mixture has chilled stir in the vanilla. Whip the heavy cream until stiff, then fold in ice cream mixture until well blended. Freeze according to your ice cream maker's instructions.**
Makes about 3 pints of ice cream.
*I don't have a double boiler, so I use a metal mixing bowl set on top of a medium sauce pan filled with about 2 inches of water. You want to make sure the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl.
**I have a Cuisinart ice cream maker that makes 2 pints. It worked to process the 3rd pint after the first 2.
Enjoy!
