to make 500g of ice cream:
200ml cream
150ml milk
85g sugar
1 vanilla pod
1 egg
2+ large tbsp of peanut butter
pinch of salt
- Slice open the vanilla pod and remove the vanilla seeds with the back of a knife. Place the cream, milk, sugar and the empty vanilla pod in a sauce pan and bring to just boiling.
- In a large bowl, mix the egg with a pinch of salt and the vanilla seeds.
- Slowly add the heated cream mix to the egg while whisking vigorously. Scoop out the vanilla pod and discard.
- Add the peanut butter and mix until the cream mixture is smooth.
- Leave to cool and place in the fridge for 1 hour.
- If you have an ice cream maker you can use that from this point on, if you don't own one (like me), pour the cream into a metallic pot and place in the freezer compartment for at least 5 hours. Mix the ice cream every 30-60min to achieve the creamy effect. If you only allow it to freeze without mixing you will taste the water icicles and not iced cream!
