Jill McKinley - Homemade Ice Cream recipes

from 15 Minute Bytes · host Marty Jencius

Jill shares a recipe for homemade ice cream and many other tasty variationsToday’s guest is Jill McKinley — known online as Jill from the Northwoods.Website: https://jillfromthenorthwoods.comNorthwoods Custard Ice CreamThere’s something deeply satisfying about making ice cream the old way — cream warming on the stove, sugar turning amber in a cast iron pan, and that quiet moment when the custard thickens just enough to coat the back of a spoon. This isn’t shortcut ice cream. It’s the kind meant for people who like to stir, watch, and wait.This recipe is built specifically for the home ice cream maker — the countertop churner that hums away in the kitchen while you clean up dinner dishes. It’s a custard base, which means egg yolks are gently cooked to 180°F for safety and silkiness. The result is rich but balanced, creamy but not heavy, with that unmistakable depth that only real caramel or browned butter can create.For regular ice cream leave the eggs out of the preparation.The beauty of this base is its flexibility. Once you understand the rhythm — warm, temper, cook, chill, churn — you can layer in toasted nuts, salted caramel shards, crushed cookies, or fresh summer berries from the farm stand. This formula can be adapted into almost any kind of ice cream custard you would like. Most add-ins should be cooled or even lightly frozen before folding in, so the texture stays smooth and scoopable.This isn’t factory ice cream. It’s Northwoods ice cream — made in small batches, shared in real bowls, eaten slowly. The kind that tastes like you meant to make it.Link to the Recipehttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1MFuahJPgryMAQ-x3ybfcTCc6wMJNUzDM/view?usp=drive_link Email: [email protected]/@15MinuteBytesWebsite: ThePodTalk.Net
