For as long as I can remember, I have wanted an ice-cream maker. Yesterday, I was in such a bad mood that I decided there was only one thing that could cheer me up. As it turned out, my timing was perfect. Today is National Ice-Cream Day in the U.S., which I conveniently internalized as a big sign that my decision to buy a very singular kitchen appliance was brilliant.
Then I set to work researching every recipe I could get my hands on and what I discovered, as usual, is that there are many different theories on how to prepare this classic dessert.
My goal was simple. Make an incredible vanilla. So I not only bought a Madagascar vanilla bean, I also stopped by Dlish Cupcakes to ask Verg what vanilla extract he uses in his buttercream frosting and he generously gave me some of his to take home and try too.
The whole process was quite simple all told – that is if you forgo using eggs, which I did for this first try. I bought duck eggs for round 2 tomorrow! Which should yield a very rich, custardy version!
