Mike Van De Elzen: Home-made vanilla ice cream

This week marks the sad loss of my most favourite ice-cream. Goody goody gum drop! Yes it will still be available in rolling shops but the 2 litre has been removed from the shelves.   So who invented GGGD? The flavour was apparently invented 25 years ago by Murray Taylor, Tip Tops technical general manager. The iconic bubblegum flavoured ice-cream with those Gumdrop candies make for a sweet treat.  So this week I will show you all how to make a basic vanilla ice-cream without a churn. And then you can add in maybe a touch of green / blue food colouring and drop in some wine gums for a chewy little sweet treat.  I will miss you Goody Goody gumdrop. Vanilla Ice-cream  Prep time: 30 minutes  Serves: 12  1 cup sugar   ½ cup water   450 ml cream, beaten to soft peaks   4 egg yolks   ½ tsp vanilla paste   Heat water and sugar in a pot up to a temperature of 120 degrees   Whilst this is happening, beat egg yolks in a mixer till pale. Carefully and slowly! pour in the sugar mixer when it hits 120 degrees.   Continue to beat until the mixture cools down slightly.   Whisk the cream to VERY soft peaks before folding through the vanilla paste and then the egg yolk mixture.   Place into a steel tray.   Place into a steel container to freeze.  Mike’s website – goodfromscratch.co.nz  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
