White Chocolate And Raspberry Ice Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Heat milk, sugar, vanilla bean and seeds, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat until warm, about 5 minutes.
• Whisk egg yolks and about 1 cup warm milk mixture in a bowl; stir egg mixture into saucepan. Continue to cook and stir until custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove vanilla bean. Stir white chocolate chips into custard until melted. Pour custard into a large bowl and stir in heavy cream and vanilla extract. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
• Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions until it reaches "soft-serve" consistency.
• Heat raspberries in a saucepan over medium heat until raspberries begin to fall apart, 7 to 10 minutes. Press raspberries through a sieve over a bowl to remove the seeds; discard seeds.
• Gently swirl raspberries into the soft ice cream creating ribbons of raspberries. Transfer ice cream to a one- or two-quart lidded plastic container; cover surface with plastic wrap and seal. For best results, ice cream should ripen in the freezer for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Steps:

• Make the chocolate flake and topping: Mix together the chocolate and oil in a heatproof bowl fitted over a saucepan of simmering water. Gently heat and stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is glossy and smooth. Set aside 1/2 cup to use as the flake and the rest for the topping. You can make the flake and topping up to 5 days ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Warm to melt before using.
• Make the ice cream: Working with a stand or immersion blender, blend all the ingredients, scraping the container occasionally, until smooth. (Pay attention to the powdered milk; it has a pesky way of clumping.) Cover, and refrigerate the mixture for up to 1 day, or churn right away. When you're ready, pour the mixture into the ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's directions.
• Just before the ice cream is ready, open the top of the machine and, with the blade spinning, gradually drizzle in the reserved 1/2 cup of warmed chocolate flake. Churn for another 1 or 2 minutes to fully incorporate the flakes. Pack the ice cream into a container, cover and freeze for at least 6 hours before serving.
• Once the ice cream is ready to serve, take the container out 5 minutes before scooping. (Its texture is best after it's had a few minutes on the counter.) Rewarm the remaining chocolate topping, and pour it over the individual servings of ice cream. It will immediately harden into a chocolate shell.

Steps:

• To prepare the Sauce: Press the raspberries and their syrup through a sieve into a saucepan.
• Add the corn syrup, lemon juice, and cornstarch mixture.
• (If using preserves, omit the cornstarch mixture, but add the water.) Bring to a boil, stirring often, then simmer for 1-2 minutes.
• Pour into a bowl and cool, then chill For the Ice Cream: In a saucepan, combine the milk and 1 cup of the cream and bring to a boil.
• Beat the yolks and the sugar in a bowl with a hand-held electric mixture for 2-3 minutes, until thick and creamy.
• Gradually pour the hot milk mixture over the yolks and return to the pan.
• Cook over medium heat until the custard coats the back of a wooden spoon, stirring constantly Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the white chocolate until melted and smooth.
• Pour the remaining cream into a large bowl.
• Strain in the hot custard, mix well, then stir in the vanilla.
• Cool, then transfer the custard to an ice-cream maker and freeze it according to the manufactor's instructions When the mixture is frozen, but still soft, transfer 1/3 of the ice cream into a freezerproof bowl.
• Set half the raspberry sauce aside.
• Spoon a third of the remaining sauce over the ice cream.
• Cover with another 1/3 over the ice cream and then more sauce.
• Repeat.
• With a knife or spoon, lightly marble the mixture.
• Cover and freeze.
• Let the ice cream soften for 15 minutes before serving with the remaining sauce.
