Aunt Sarah's Recipe For Frozen Custard Recipe

Aunt Sarah's Recipe for Frozen Custard

History:
Aunt Sarah's Recipe for Frozen Custard has been passed down through generations in our family. It originated from a time when homemade frozen treats were a special treat, often made only during special occasions or hot summer days. This recipe is a true classic and remains beloved by many for its rich and creamy texture.

Fun Facts:
- Frozen custard is a dessert that originated in the United States, specifically in the Midwest. It is known for its smooth and velvety texture, which sets it apart from other frozen desserts.
- The addition of corn starch in this recipe helps to thicken the custard and give it a smoother consistency.
- The use of a double boiler ensures that the custard is cooked gently and evenly, preventing it from curdling or becoming lumpy.
- Adding the eggs and sugar to the hot milk mixture helps to create a creamy and flavorful base for the custard.
- The inclusion of vanilla adds a delightful aroma and taste to the frozen custard.

Recipe:

Ingredients:
- 1 quart of rich, sweet milk
- 2 tablespoons of corn starch
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup of sugar
- Small tablespoon of vanilla

Instructions:
1. In a double boiler, heat the milk until hot but not boiling.
2. In a separate bowl, moisten the corn starch with a little milk, then stir it into the hot milk mixture. Continue stirring until the mixture begins to thicken.
3. In another bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together until creamy. Add this mixture to the hot milk and continue cooking for about a minute.
4. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
5. Once cooled, pour the custard mixture into a four-quart freezer canister.
6. Prepare the ice and salt mixture by crushing the ice into small pieces. The finer the ice, the quicker the custard will freeze. Mix the ice with a fourth of the quantity of coarse rock salt.
7. Place the freezer canister in a tub and surround it with the ice and salt mixture. Use about 10 pounds of ice and 2 pounds of salt to pack the sides and cover the top of the canister.
8. Slowly turn the crank on the ice cream freezer until the custard becomes thoroughly chilled. Keep the hole in the top of the tub open to allow the salt water to drain.
9. Once the custard is cold and has reached a firm consistency, remove the inside paddle of the ice cream freezer.
10. Close the freezer tightly and carefully drain off the salt water.
11. Repack the tub with fresh ice and salt, allowing the custard to stand for several hours to further firm up.
12. After the allotted time, the frozen custard is ready to be served and enjoyed!

Similar Recipe Dishes:
- Vanilla Ice Cream: Substitute the corn starch with an equal amount of cornstarch or arrowroot powder, and omit the eggs. Follow the rest of the instructions as mentioned above.
- Chocolate Frozen Custard: Add 1/2 cup of cocoa powder to the milk mixture before heating. Increase the sugar to 1 1/2 cups. Proceed with the recipe as usual, adding additional chocolate syrup or chocolate chips before freezing for a richer chocolate flavor.
- Fruit Flavored Frozen Custard: Add your choice of fruit puree or chopped fruits (such as strawberries, peaches, or mangoes) to the custard mixture before freezing. Blend the fruit with the custard in a blender or food processor until smooth.
- Nutty Frozen Custard: Stir in your favorite chopped nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans) into the custard mixture before freezing. The nuts will add crunch and texture to the creamy custard.
