Hey-La-La Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

[SueJen]

can't wait for the weather to warm up, really want to try this

It still tastes amazing in the cold weather too. I can vouch for that.

I second that, we all love it & my friend did too.

Churned this tonight...simply gorgeous!

I'm thinking of getting this ebook - it looks nice. I was just wondering whether you need an ice cream maker to make this recipe or whether you could just stir it every so often?

[judydawn]

Tenina's recipe is for the Thermomix rostess but all ice-cream recipes can be churned if you have an ice-cream maker.

[rostess]

I don't have an ice-cream maker, so that is good that I don't need one to make this.  Hmm... sounds like a new cookbook purchase is not far away....

have to mention that the texture of this ice cream stayed lovely and creamy after freezing for a few days, and so easy to scoop.
I have made other recipes, and they seem to go a little icy or gritty iykwim?
This one didn't....and the flavour is perfect.  Highly recommend.

YUM....what a great pic Maddy.

I made this the other day and was nice that night - very creamy. It hadn't frozen rock solid when I did the final blend, although it had been in the freezer for about 8 hours. Tonight I pulled it out and it was quite icey so I decided to whip it up again. Big mistake! It completely separated and I had to throw it out. Could it have been icey because it wasn't frozen solid to start with?

Rostess...Tenina suggests popping it in the fridge for 20 mins before serving...that does make a difference to scooping.

[rostess]

I did take it out the freezer about 10 minutes before serving, but it was still icey, not creamy.

[Tenina]

I am not sure why it would have separated Rostess. I have never seen that happen before, though perhaps it is because it gets eaten on the first round...never a second chance at my house.
 
Wondering if it was to do with over beating which is possible with any dairy...will ask some questions of my dairy judging friends.

I have made quite a few batches & no problems here.

I have 2 in the freezer, I am sure they are fine.

Now that i think about it, it had a slightly separated texture on the first eating because I remember noticing that I could feel the fat sticking to the spoon (I don't know if that makes sense - when I say 'fat' I guess it was the butter from the separation process). I probably just over mixed it in the first whipping stage and that would have resulted in the texture not being quite right when I took it out last night. I'll definitely make it again though as it tasted beautiful until I destroyed it!
