Caramel Apple Ice Cream
We are looking down the barrel of U.S. thanksgiving which is really not a thing at all here in Canada. It's just something we are aware of... and maybe do a little black friday shopping on Amazon. We are in the dead of winter as far as weather is concerned. Biking has been off the table this week and temperatures have dipped way below what we are used to. I'm working really hard at not letting this affect my mood greatly. I am looking at weeks of crazy christmas concerts and events and things that I have to plan and attend and still get organized for January work... and my family is currently checking out the 2015 potato calendar. It's a real thing.
Here are some things that I thought were noteworthy over the last month:
1. The Oatmeal's take on Net Neutrality
2. Thanks to a Canadian quasi-celebrity we have all been talking a whole lot more about sexual abuse and harassment. Let's hope that this talking continues and turns into a real change in the way society views the women in it.
3. I've been geeking out to this song
4. If I don't make this and this soon I just don't know what I'm going to do.
5. This blogger beautifully summed up a lot of the food lies that women believe about other women. You know all of those food shots where an incredibly beautiful and thin woman about to eat something big and crazy.
I made this ice cream a good while ago and, in the spirit of not spreading food lies, I didn't eat very much of it. I tested it and it was good. Truth is I'm not much of an ice cream person. In fact, lately food and I haven't been close but that's another story for another time. Kid #2 won't go near this kind of ice cream if it were the last thing on earth to eat. D basically won't touch ice cream unless it's chocolate or good quality vanilla (I totally get behind that). So that left Kid #1. She dutifully had a bowl or two but let out a sigh of relief when we had guests over because we served this ice cream with apple crisp. It's pretty rich stuff and the texture and tastes worked well together. Feel free to adjust the caramel to apple ratio if you think it might be too sweet for your liking.
Caramel Apple Ice Cream
makes 1 litre (or so)
1 1/2 cups whipping cream (the heavy stuff)
1 cup milk
4 egg yolks, whisked together in a bowl
1 cups sugar
2 tsp vanilla or vanilla paste
Caramel Apple Sauce
3 - 4 sm/med apples - peeled, cored and diced
2 tbsp brown sugar (optional - depending on the sweetness of the caramel that you are using)
pinch of salt and cinnamon
1/2 cup caramel sauce (I made my own from here but you could even melt in some kraft caramels if it came down to it)
Add the diced apples to a heavy bottomed pan and heat over med/low heat. As the apples start to cook you might want to add a dash or so of water to prevent sticking. Add in the brown sugar, salt and cinnamon. Cook until the apples have gotten all mushy and soft and the liquid has cooked down (I simmered mine for about 10 minutes to dry it out a bit) Remove from the heat, add in the caramel and mix well. Set aside.
Ice cream:
In a heavy bottomed saucepan, heat the sugar gently over med/low heat for just a minute. Add in a little of the cream and mix well to dissolve the sugar. Once dissolved, add in the rest of the cream and all of the milk. Continue to heat until it almost comes to a boil, turn the heat down to about a half of what you started at and add a little of the hot cream mixture to the egg yolks, stirring constantly. Continue to add the hot cream to the egg yolks in a very small, steady stream until the yolks are warmed up (about a half a cup of the hot cream). Pour the egg yolk mixture back into the hot cream. Place it back onto the stove and stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture heats up enough to coat the wooden spoon (you should be able to run your finger over the back of the spoon and have the mixture remain in place without running).
Remove from heat and run it through a sieve and into a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap (press down so it is right on the warm custard mixture all the way around and even stuck to the sides of the bowl) and cool completely to room temperature. Place in the fridge overnight.
Once refrigerator cold, pour into an ice cream maker and run for about a half hour or until the mixture reaches a soft serve consistency. Pour everything into a freezer container and stir in the caramel apple mixture.
Freeze.
Soften for a few minutes before serving.
