What is custard ice cream?

Custard ice cream aka frozen custard is similar to ice cream but it made with eggs along with heavy cream and sugar. It is stirred until thick then frozen. Custard ice cream usually has a thicker consistency than ice cream.

How to make chocolate custard ice cream.

If you thinking that making custard-style ice cream is hard we’ll let you in on a little secret. When we first thought about making custard ice cream we thought it is going to be way too hard and that we should just stick to traditional ice cream recipes but let us tell you it is not hard at all.

We are going to share with you a few little tips to help on your way to making some delicious custard ice cream.

  • Egg yolks
  • Sugar
  • Cocoa powder. We recommend Ghirardelli 100% Unsweetened Ground Cocoa Powder.
  • Cornstarch
  • Butter
  • Vanilla extract
  • Salt
  • Creamy peanut butter
  • Peanuts

Tools that you will need:

  • Ice cream maker
  • Freezer-safe bowl
  • Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Instant-read thermometer

A few helpful tips:

  • When it comes time to incorporate the warm cream mixture to the eggs vigorously whisk while pouring. This will prevent the eggs from cooking and turning into scrambled eggs.
  • Don’t want to whisk by hand? You can use an electric mixer. Just have the mixer running on medium-high speed then slowly pour the cream mixture down the side of the bowl. Keep mixing until everything is well incorporated.
  • Don’t put your ice cream in your ice cream maker if it is frozen solid. This can damage your ice cream maker. Allow it to soften before churning in your ice cream maker.

Don’t feel like peanut butter and chocolate? No problem here is a couple of other flavor ideas.

  • Raspberries
  • Fudge sauce
  • Marshmallows
  • Oreos
  • Brownie pieces

Psst...We want to let you in on a little secret. W Psst...We want to let you in on a little secret. We don't actually eat cakes and cookies all day. As much as we would like to. We try to keep a balanced diet as much as possible. With some recent health issues that came up, we have been trying to limit our amount of sugar and processed food to get our health back in shape. Not saying we don't like a good chocolate cookie now and then we don't deprive ourselves of desserts (just limit them). After doing some research on more healthier options we found @noosayoghurt This yogurt is the best tasting yogurt we have ever tried (by the way this is not sponsored). 

They have been a great option for breakfast and lunch for us.
They are so good especially their coconut almond chocolate flavor. And great to just grab out of the refrigerator and start enjoying. What are a couple of ways you add healthier choices to your diet? We are always looking for new ways.
