Homemade Soft Serve Frozen Custard

now people might be wondering what the heck does milwaukee have to offer other than a silly name milwaukeeans just playing but i have two words for you frozen custard better than you think [Music] okay so i'm not trying to drag milwaukee i'm simply saying that for some reason it's just not talked about enough which makes me kind of sad because it's the undisputed frozen custard capital of the world with more custard shops per capita than anywhere else it popularized frozen custard at the 1933's world fair an event comparable to the fictional stark expo but instead of killer robots they had uh frozen custard what's the difference between frozen custard and ice cream good question well let's just say it takes a killer combination to make it right but do you want to know what else makes an amazing combination bundling your home and car insurance obviously and that's where today's sponsor geico comes in sure like ice cream car insurance is great by itself but if you add home insurance the egg yolks in our flawless analogy you'll end up with a concoction that's greater than the sum of its parts in every way because combining your home and car insurance could save you even more for bundling made easy visit geico.com today and of course you can head to the description to get a quote and find out how much you could save i'm just trying to keep you safe okay i'm just trying we're just trying to help you out okay so with all that said let's do this shall we okay so first thing for frozen custard is well maybe not putting your face in the pot sorry for how i am what you should actually do is get a medium sized sauce pot and add two and a quarter cup or 530 milliliters of heavy cream one cup or 240 milliliters of whole milk two thirds of a cup plus two tablespoons or 175 grams of granulated sugar that was a mouthful and half a teaspoon or three grams of kosher salt lastly you're going to add the bean scrape from one vanilla bean pod one vanilla bean pod then go ahead and toss the whole pot in too why not we can go fishing for it lighter now toss that there pot onto the stove set it to medium heat and stir occasionally until very hot and steamy and the sugar is dissolved ideally about 175 degrees fahrenheit or 80 degrees celsius no boiling or simmering at any point if you boil this not only will i be very angry but you'll also ruin your ice cream so you don't want either of those things whilst you're heating your milky cream mixture go ahead and separate out seven egg yolks in a medium sized bowl i like to crack them all into one bowl and then pull the yolks out by hand just a little bit easier this way it's a westawatt technique now once your milk mixture is at temperature ladle and whisk in a splash of your hot milk into the egg yolks whisk until combined then repeat a couple more times until your egg yolks are nice and hot then pour that yolk mixture back into the pot and continue to heat adjusting it back and forth from medium to low to maintain that 175 while stirring constantly until that mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon beautifully about 15 minutes now if it curdles or the egg yolk cooks you went too dang hot that's all i gotta say to you now straighten your mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl and set it over an ice bath then just stir until it's completely cold now from this point all you gotta do is turn it in an ice cream maker according to the ice cream maker's directions look i don't like doing the whole freezing the base for 24 hours so i use an ice cream maker with a compressor that's not a flex i'm just saying use any ice cream maker that your budget allows now if you're like me and you prefer frozen custard in a soft serve form i have a way for you to do it without a 5 000 soft serve machine instead of placing your ice cream in the freezer to firm up to scoop simply take the ice cream straight from your ice cream maker place it in a piping bag with a star design tip and pipe it into the cone of your choice and bang now you have your own soft-serve frozen custard it's pretty much the same thing maybe not exactly but pretty close to make your own waffle cone you're gonna need a waffle cone maker sorry about it preheat that there waffle cone micro now to make your waffle cone batter start by mixing together two egg whites until nice and frothy then whisk in a quarter cup or 65 grams of heavy cream two teaspoons or nine grams of vanilla extract half a cup or 115 grams of granulated sugar then while constantly whisking slowly streaming a quarter cup or 56 grams of unsalted melted butter once that's all mixed together and emulsified finally sift in 2 3 of a cup or 100 grams of all-purpose flour until you decide that sifting it takes too long and it's boring so just pour it all in then whisk it all together until thoroughly combined you've got a beautiful waffle batter now at this point your waffle iron should be nice and preheated go ahead and grease it lightly with some oil you can use spray that's easier than this then go ahead and toss in a quarter cup of your batter and cook it for about two minutes then burn it a couple times because this thing gets hotter than you expect whoops okay maybe more like one minute just keep your eyes on until it's a lovely golden brown okay maybe i should have gotten a better machine pull the waffles out of the hot iron and onto a clean dry towel then using a cone shaper which should have been included with your machine tightly wrap it around the cone while it's still pliable and hold it together until it can hold its own shape then just let it cool standing up in a glass until crispy and crunchy now all you gotta do is scoop your lovely frozen custard or pipe it if you wish then admire its beauty and don't forget to lick your fingies when you're done this is a very basic frozen custard it's just cream sugar milk eggs vanilla wow well first off let me just say that this is very good this is not like a typical soft serve you know this is the real deal in terms of texture flavor it's rich it's creamy the one that kind of wanted to cover was um anybody who bites their ice cream it's okay if you lip it notice how i'm lipping it i'm not biting it i'm scooping it with my upper lip but if you bite your ice cream what is wrong with you what are you doing frozen custard similar to ice cream yet somehow better maybe no i don't know you need a basic ice cream machine to do this it doesn't have to be as bougie as mine but you can have soft serve just a piping bag bro that is how i want all frozen custard to be at home okay thank you bye but do you want to know what else is creamy and delicious don't answer that b-roll [Music] all right guys and that is it thanks again to my friends at geico for sponsoring this video they're helping me with my culinary journey around the united states and they want to help you too not so much with food but by saving you money on your home and car insurance which is uh important too so like i said before head down to that link below and visit geico.com today so what we did today was frozen custard but it's also kind of a soft serve at the same time now could you freeze it and scoop it of course you can there's nothing wrong with that i won't judge you at all because you still made it and i'm still proud of you for that frozen custard and ice cream is very different and i think that this recipe exudes the essence of what our frozen custard should be it's not complicated it's simple it's rich it's smooth it's frozen yeah that's the cute name that i thought of it i don't know okay so with all that said if you enjoyed this video or you learned something leave a like subscribe and i will see you next time [Music] you
