Whiskey! Ginger! Ice Cream!
| August 21, 2019
Ingredients
3 cups of a combination of (milk, almond milk, soy milk, cream, whipping cream) *I’ve tried so many variations and they all work!
1 cup minus 2 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup of whiskey (if you use more the ice cream won’t set)
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. 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, add the whiskey and let mix for a few minutes. 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.
