Blog Entry: White Chocolate Green Tea Ice Cream
INGREDIENTS:
8 ounces high quality white chocolate, chopped
into 1/2-inch pieces 2 cups light cream 1 cup heavy cream 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 5 large egg yolks, at room temperature 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar 2 tablespoons matcha powder or Stash Iced
Green Tea Powder
Directions:
Makes 1 quart
1. Place the
white chocolate pieces in a large heatproof bowl. Set aside.
2. Combine
the light cream, heavy cream, and vanilla extract in a medium-size saucepan.
Over medium heat, bring the mixture just to a boil, stirring constantly.
Remove from
the heat and set aside.
3. In a large
bowl, whisk the yolks until well blended. In a small bowl, blend the brown
sugar with the matcha powder or Stash Iced Green Tea Powder until there are no
green streaks, then whisk the sugar mixture into the egg yolks, blending well.
4. Add 1/4
cup of the hot cream mixture to the egg mixture, whisking vigorously. Add
another 1/4 cup and whisk again. Carefully pour this mixture back into the
saucepan, mix well, and cook over medium heat until the custard is thick enough
to coat the back of a spoon, about 170 degrees fahrenheit. Do not boil, or the
custard will curdle.
5. Remove the
custard from the heat and strain through a fine-mesh strainer into the bowl of
chopped white chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted, then
let the custard cool at room temperature for 15 minutes.
6. Cover the custard
and chill in the refrigerator for 6 hours or overnight. Freeze in an ice cream
machine according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer the ice cream to
an airtight container and place in the freezer until firm, at least 8 hours.
Remove from the freezer 20 mintues before serving.
