This vanilla ice cream is made in an ice cream freezer, and contains milk, light cream, sugar, vanilla bean and egg whites. Because the egg whites are not cooked, be sure to follow proper food safety guidelines.
 

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half or light cream
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • one 1-inch piece vanilla bean
  • 1/4 cup egg whites (2 large eggs)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Method

In a small bowl, combine the milk, cream and 1/3 cup sugar. Cut the vanilla bean in half the long way, and scrape out the tiny black seeds inside. Add the bean and the scrapings to the milk mixture. Stir with a spoon until the sugar is dissolved. Put the egg whites into a clean metal bowl, and beat them with a whisk or beater until they are thick and hold soft peaks when you lift up the whisk. Add 1 tablespoon sugar to the whites and beat until they form stiff peaks. Remove the vanilla bean from the milk mixture. (If you let it dry thoroughly, it can be used again for something else.) Add the egg whites to the milk mixture, and use a spatula to gently fold the two together. You can use a whisk to gently break up any large bits of whites. Freeze the mixture in an ice-cream freezer according to the directions.

 

Notes: This tastes like vanilla ice cream, but melts like snow in the mouth.

 

Number of Servings: 3 cups
