Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Whole Milk
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 3 Egg Yolks
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 1/4 tsp Curry Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • pinch of Salt

For the White Chocolate Drizzle Topping:

  • 1/2 cup White Chocolate Chips
  • splash of Milk

Instructions

  1. In medium sauce pot, whisk together milk, heavy cream, curry powder, vanilla extract, and salt, then slowly bring to a boil. In a glass or metal bowl whisk egg yolks and sugar until they resemble a sand-like consistency.
  2. When the pot on the stove comes to a boil, slowly temper the sugar and egg yolk mixture by ladling small amounts of the boiling curry cream into the sugar and yolk bowl while quickly whisking together. Add about 1-2 tablespoons of boiling milk at a time while quickly whisking to prevent the boiling milk from cooking the yolks too quickly. When you have ladled about 1/3 of the boiling milk to the tempering sugar and yolk bowl, add the entire bowl mixture to the pot, whisking frequently while pouring. Lower the temperature of the pot to medium heat and let simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the custard reaches 180 degrees F, stirring consistently.
  3. Transfer to a new clean bowl and let completely cool in the refrigerator, ideally letting chill overnight.
  4. Add the curry custard to an ice cream maker and spin the ice cream according to your ice cream maker instructions. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer safe container and pop in the freezer for a little bit longer if a firmer consistency is desired.

For the White Chocolate Drizzle Topping:

  1. Microwave the white chocolate chips in a small bowl for about 1 minute. Add a splash of milk (about 1 - 2 tsp), stir together, then continue to microwave for 15 - 30 seconds. Continue to microwave and/or add milk until you reach a honey-like consistency. Drizzle over your frozen finished curry ice cream, then either continuing to freeze or serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Why temper the egg yolks? This tempering technique allows you to slowly raise the temperature of the egg yolks to the same temperature as the boiling milk without shocking and curdling them. If you were to add the yolks without tempering, they would become scrambled eggs! Slowly increasing the temperature of the yolks and rapidly whisking while combining is the best technique to create a perfect silky smooth ice cream custard base.
  • The tempering technique is the least problematic when you have an extra person helping to pour while you whisk, but tempering can absolutely be done alone in two different ways - 1. using a stand mixer with the whisk attachment while you pour the hot milk into the whisking sugar and egg yolk bowl, or 2. securing the base of the sugar and egg mixture bowl with a towel or rubber pad to prevent movement, then use your left hand to ladle in the hot milk while the right hand rapidly whisks in the secured bowl. Ps. I use option #2 every time I make ice cream!
