Homemade Eskimo Ice Cream

Ingredients

Servings

For ice cream

Milk

750 ml
Cream

250 ml
Egg yolk

8 pcs
Sugar

250 G
Vanilla sugar

50 G

For the glaze

Butter

100 G
Dark chocolate

100 G

Preparation

Step 1

Add sugar and vanilla sugar to the yolks. Beat everything together until a thick white mass forms.

Step 2

Pour the milk into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

Step 3

Pour the hot milk in a thin stream into the beaten eggs. It's important to do this gradually and stir constantly, otherwise the eggs will curdle and you'll have to start over.

Step 4

Pour the egg-milk mixture into a saucepan and place it over low heat. Be careful not to let it boil and stir constantly with a spatula to ensure the eggs heat evenly and don't curdle.

Step 5

Cook the mixture for 20-30 minutes. During this time, it should thicken and turn into a cream. To check for readiness, draw a line on a spatula filled with cream. If the cream doesn't flow back, it's ready.

Step 6

Strain the cream through a sieve into a cold bowl. This is necessary to remove all lumps.

Step 7

Let the cream cool at room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming. Then refrigerate it for 20 minutes.

Step 8

Beat the cold cream with a mixer until stiff peaks form.

Step 9

Add the whipped cream to the milk mixture and stir gently so that the finished mixture does not lose its airiness.

Step 10

Place the mixture in the freezer to freeze. For the first hour, take it out every 10 minutes and whisk thoroughly. Repeat this process every 30 minutes for the next two hours. Do the final mixing with a blender. Then let the ice cream set for 6-8 hours.

Step 11

Remove the ice cream from the mold and cut into bars. Insert a stick into each bar and place in the freezer until completely set.

Step 12

Combine the butter and chocolate and melt in the microwave. Then stir until smooth.

Step 13

Remove the ice cream from the freezer. Dip it in the chocolate glaze, remove it, and let the excess drip off. Once the glaze has become opaque, place the ice cream on parchment paper to harden. Then place it in the freezer for 1 hour. Your ice cream is ready!

Possible replacements

Instead of 8 egg yolks, you can use just 4 eggs. However, keep in mind that this will result in a slightly coarser ice cream consistency. Vanilla extract can be substituted for the vanilla sugar. You'll only need 2 teaspoons, as it has a richer aroma and flavor.

Adviсe

The cream must have at least 30% fat content, otherwise it won't whip. I recommend chilling the bowl and beaters beforehand. This will speed up the whipping process.
To make making Eskimo ice cream more convenient, you can purchase special silicone molds, which will greatly simplify the entire process.
Store ice cream in a container or wrap each serving in foil to prevent it from losing its flavor and absorbing other odors.
To make delicious ice cream, choose ingredients with the highest fat content. This will ensure it's incredibly soft and creamy.

That concludes the recipe for making fragrant, creamy ice cream. Delight your loved ones with incredible desserts and cook deliciously!
