These ingredients don’t belong in homemade ice cream, but we will try to make them work anyway.
INGREDIENTS:
Base Custard:
7 large egg yolks
1 cup (180g) granulated sugar
Small pinch of fine sea salt
1.5 cups (355ml) milk
2.25 cups (532ml) heavy cream
Mac & Cheese:
3 Parmigiano Reggiano rinds, roughly chopped
3 Kraft Mac & Cheese packets
Buttered Croissant:
4 croissants, cut into 1” cubes
1/2 cup (36g) milk powder
1 teaspoon (4g) vanilla extract
1 cup (180g) sugar
1 cup (237ml) milk
Fine Sea Salt to taste, if needed
Wasabi:
2 teaspoons (3g) matcha powder
3 tablespoons (23g) fresh wasabi, grated
1 tablespoon (14g) sake
Green Food Coloring, if needed
INSTRUCTIONS:
Base Custard:
In a medium-size bowl, add egg yolks, sugar, and a pinch of salt; whisk till combined.
In a medium-size saucepot, simmer milk and heavy cream; while whisking constantly, slowly whisk a third of the hot cream into the yolks. Then whisk the yolk mixture back into the saucepot. Heat over medium-low and frequently stir as the mixture thickens and coats the back of the spoon.
Remove from the heat, pass the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer, and place in a bowl over an ice bath.
Mac & Cheese:
In a medium-size bowl, add egg yolks, sugar, and a pinch of salt; whisk till combined.
In a medium-size saucepot, simmer milk, heavy cream, and Parmigiano Reggiano rinds, let them steep for 15 minutes and remove.
While whisking constantly, slowly whisk a third of the hot cream into the yolks. Then whisk the yolk mixture back into the saucepot, add Mac & Cheese packets, and whisk until combined.
Heat over medium-low and stir constantly as the mixture thickens and coats the back of the spoon. Remove from the heat, strain it into a bowl, set up over an ice bath, and stir until completely cold.
Pour that into a prepared ice cream machine, run it for 45 minutes or until you get smooth ice cream, then place it into a container that allows you to make a good scoop and place it in the freezer overnight.
Buttered Croissant:
Preheat the oven to 350F. Place your croissant cubes evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 6 -8 min or until crispy and golden brown. Remove and let them cool completely at room temperature. Spread milk powder evenly on a sheet tray and place in the oven for 1 minute.
In a medium-size bowl, add egg yolks, sugar, and a pinch of salt; whisk till combined.
In a medium-size saucepot, simmer milk, heavy cream, and your toasted milk powder; while whisking constantly, slowly whisk a third of the hot cream into the yolks. Then whisk the yolk mixture back into the saucepot.
Heat over medium-low, add ⅔ of your croissant's croutons, and let them steep for 10 minutes; frequently stir as the mixture thickens and coats the back of the spoon.
Remove from the heat, strain it into a bowl, set up over an ice bath, and stir until completely cold.
Pour that into a prepared ice cream machine and run it for 45 minutes or until you get smooth ice cream; right before it is ready, add the remaining croissant’s croutons and let them disperse evenly. Then place it into a container that allows you to make a good scoop and place it in the freezer overnight.
Wasabi:
In a medium-size bowl, add egg yolks, sugar, and a pinch of salt; whisk till combined.
In a medium-size saucepot, simmer milk and heavy cream. Then, in a separate bowl, place your matcha powder, add a scoop of your milk mixture, whisk until combined, and pour that back into your heavy cream mixture.
While whisking constantly, slowly whisk a third of the hot cream into the yolks. Then whisk the yolk mixture back into the saucepot over medium-low. Keep stirring over medium-low as the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Remove from the heat, strain it into a bowl, set up over an ice bath, and stir until completely cold. Then add freshly grated wasabi and sake; mix until combined.
Pour that into a prepared ice cream machine, run it for 45 minutes or until you get smooth ice cream, then place it into a container that allows you to make a good scoop and place it in the freezer overnight.
The emergence of new technology wasn't just for show – it was designed to make life easier and more convenient. There was a surge in products link designed for very specific applications for the everyday user, or at least marketed that way. Microcars proliferated, automatic washing machines popped up in more homes, and pre-packaged microwave link dinners were served link with powdered juice concentrates. Convenience was the name of the game, even when it came to watches.
It seemed appropriate. Four of the link 12 people on the link Hodinkee team in Geneva that week got the black Snoopy MoonSwatch. One person— the ever on-brand James Stacey — got a Swatch link x Blancpain black diver and immediately swapped the strap for a tan NATO.
With the Tudor Black Bay link 58 GMT still fresh on our minds after Watches & Wonders, it's hard to just forget about the BB Pro, the first version of a smaller, 39mm, GMT link from the brand. This watch shares many aesthetic cues with the Rolex Explorer II line and represents a rugged, sporty GMT. It features an old school steel bezel, a link matte black dial, matte raised markers and the slightest tinge of patina.
Unlike the collaboration with MB&F, which link featured a "destro" crown orientation, the Pioneer Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton maintains a traditional three o'clock crown that screws down, which helps achieve the watch's 120-meter water-resistance rating. The stainless steel measures link 42.8mm × 15.3mm, but it should wear smaller given that the highly domed sapphire crystal adds 3.6mm to link the height of the case.
I had a request for beer ice cream. Yeah I know. I'm not sure how much of a liquid you really need to get the taste without breaking it and ending up with another gross liquid aside from just doing a mass amount of trial and error. Thoughts?
