Introduction

An usual but extremely tasty ice-cream from Murphy’s Ice-cream

Ingredients

  • 50ml balsamic vinegar
  • 130g plus 2 tbsp sugar
  • 5 egg yolks
  • 240ml cream
  • 200ml milk

Method

  • 1. In a small saucepan, warm the balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons of the sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
  • 2. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  • 3. Beat remaining sugar and egg yolks together until pale yellow.
  • 4. Bring the milk to a low simmer.
  • 5. Remove from the heat and beat the milk into the egg and sugar mixture in a slow stream.
  • 6. Pour the mixture back into the pan and place over low heat.
  • 7. Stir continuously until the custard thickens slightly (around 65-70°C) and just coats the back of a spoon. Don’t over-heat, though, because at around 76°C you will scramble the eggs!
  • 8. Immediately remove from the heat.
  • 9. Stir in the balsamic and sugar mixture.
  • 10. Whip the cream until it has doubled in volume (you should have soft peaks – don’t over-whip).
  • 11. Fold the cream (gently stir) into the custard.
  • 12. Freeze using a domestic ice cream machine, or cover and place in the freezer, stirring every few hours to break up the ice crystals.
  • 13. If you’re using a domestic ice cream machine, transfer to a freezer-proof covered container when the ice cream has achieved a semi-solid consistency (around 15 minutes). Place it in the freezer, and continue to freeze until it is solid.
  • 14. <h5>NOTE:<h5>
  • 15. If you use a different vinegar, you might need slightly more or less, depending on the strength of the flavour.
  • 16. To pasteurise the eggs, heat the custard to 73°C and maintain that temperature for at least 5 minutes. Use a cooking thermometer, though, and keep stirring! If the custard goes any higher than 76C, the eggs will scramble. Immediately cover and place in the freezer until cool.
