VANILLA FUDGE SWIRL ICE CREAM RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• With a beater, beat the cream until soft peaks form.
• Add the condensed milk and the vanilla extract and lightly beat until it is all combined.
• Grate the chocolate and stir through the ice cream mixture. You can use milk, dark or even white chocolate.
• Pour the ice cream mixture into a container.
• Melt the chocolate and stir through the condensed milk.
• Pour the fudge through the ice cream and then using a knife just lighty swirl it through.
• Place in the freezer to set (preferably overnight).
• I have found it is set enough after four hours if you like a soft serve consistency.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring ¾ cup of the sugar and ¼ cup of water to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
• Boil without stirring until the caramel turns a golden amber colour, 5-8 minutes.
• Remove from heat and immediately add ½ cup plus 2 tblsps of the heavy cream – AVOID SPATTERS!
• Stir well, then cook over low heat, stirring, until smooth, about 1 minute.
• Remove from heat, add a dash of salt, and let cool.
• Transfer the caramel to a container, cover and refrigerate until cold, atleast 1 hour and up to 2 days.
• In a large saucepan, bring the milk and remaining 1 ½ cups heavy cream just to a boil over medium heat.
• In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks with ¾ cup of the sugar until smooth.
• Gradually whisk the hot cream into the egg yolks.
• Pour the custard back into the saucepan.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 7 minutes.
• DO NOT BOIL.
• Immediately strain the custard into a large heatproof bowl and set aside.
• In a small saucepan, bring the remaining ½ cup sugar and 3 tblsps water to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
• Boil with stirring until the caramel turns a deep amber colour, about 7 minutes.
• Remove from heat and add 2 tblsps of cold water – stand back to avoid spatters.
• Stir until smooth.
• Whisk the hot caramel into the warm custard, making sure the caramel doesn’t get on the whisk as you pour as it will harden.
• Stir in vanilla.
• Let cool to room temperature, stirring once or twice, then cover and refrigerate until cold, atleast 2 hours or overnight.
• Pour the custard into an ice-cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Transfer the ice cream to a chilled container and freeze until partially set but not hard, about 1 hour.
• Spoon 1/3 of the ice cream into a chilled container.
• Spoon 1/3 of the chilled caramel on top; it does not have to be an even layer.
• Top with a layer of ice cream.
• Continue layering, ending with caramel.
• Stir once; do not overmix as you want a thick caramel swirl running through the ice cream.
• Cover and freeze for atleast 3 hours or up to 2 days.
