1 Vanilla bean remains the best option for ice cream. However, vanilla paste is a good
alternative. If using vanilla bean, infuse seeds and bean in hot milk first for 20 min first.
Sieve, and save the pod (wash and dry) for later use. Then, proceed as follow. The
trickiest part in ice cream and sorbet making is being able to get the right texture. If
baking is an accurate science, frozen desserts require even more attention. Professional
glaciers use precise to the gram formulas for each flavor. Indeed, the percentage of
water, fat, dry component, acidity, and sweetness are taken into consideration. Also,
stabilizer is added to improve viscosity and prevent from crystallization. In addition, the
emulsion factor given by the ice cream machine plays an important role in the final
results. However, pretty descent results can be achieved at home. Stabilizer can be
subbed for gelatin (do not sub for agar-agar).
How To Quenelle
2 In the gastronomy world, a quenelle is an elegant way to sublime ice cream, sorbet,
mousse, etc… Choose a dessert spoon with a nice oval shape and curve. Place your
quenelle spoon in warm water and tap dry to remove excess water. In a single motion,
drag the spoon down through the ice cream toward the near edge of the container so it
curls over itself to form the quenelle. Fair enough, it requires some practice. Use beaten
butter to practice and hot water. The best opportunity to making a beautifully shaped
quenelle is after churning (freeze an hour prior proceeding). The use of a PacoJet in
some high end restaurant offers that instant option. Once the ice cream has spent a
night in the freezer, it wont have the same ideal texture. To soften a bit, place in the
refrigerator for about an hour prior scooping out. If using a PacoJet though, frozen ice
cream and sorbet can be re-processed indefinitely and stabilizers are not required. Store
ice cream with a plastic wrap in contact for up to 10 days.

3 Soak gelatin in cold water to soften and drain. In a saucepan, warm up together milk,
vanilla, sugar and salt on low heat. Add dry milk and blend using an immersion blender.
When mixture reaches 113ºF/45ºC, add egg yolks and blend. Cook to 185ºF/85ºC
stirring constantly. Do not boil. Remove custard from the heat, mix in gelatin along with
the chilled heavy cream – refrigerate overnight for maturation. Process in your ice
cream maker according to manufacture instructions. It should run for about 25 minutes.
Transfer ice cream in another frozen container if desired. Freeze an hour prior making
quenelles. Now, ice cream is at its best. Enjoy!
Faire ramollir la gélatine dans de l’eau froide, puis égoutter et réserver. Faire chauffer le
lait avec le sucre, sel, glucose et vanille. Puis ajouter le lait en poudre et a 45ºC, les
jaunes – mixer avec un mixeur plongeant. Cuire a feu doux et à la nappe / 85ºC en
remuant constamment et mixer aussi. Ne pas faire bouillir. (Si cela arrivait par accident
retirer du feu immédiatement et mixer). Hors du feu, ajouter la gélatine et passer au
chinois. Ajouter la crème, mixer et laisser maturer une nuit au froid. Turbiner pendant
environ 25 min, puis congeler. Régalez-vous!
