Pina-Colada Ice-Cream (Sous-Vide)

-

I've wanted to make Pina-Colada Ice Cream for a while now, but it was not until I ran across this liqueur that it all came together. My culinary process starts out with the idea that over time, which means days and weeks eventually reaches fruition. 


And for those of us that remember the song HERE YOU GO!!!!

 
Pina Colada Ice-Cream needs Coconut so I did some research on the different products and this is what I found. 

Coconut Cream, Cream of Coconut and Coconut milk are all different. 




I decided to use Coconut Cream for a few reasons. 

1- It is unsweetened
2- The fat percentage is likened to Heavy Cream. 





 I am not going to describe the entire process of measuring or making the Ice-Cream because it's identical to my other recipes. The only difference is the use of Cream of Coconut instead of Heavy Cream. The fat percentage is virtually the same. 


Make this sauce many hours before or the day before you serve the Ice-Cream. 

Add the first 5 ingredients to a saucepan and while stirring (use Whisk) bring to a boil. Now lower the flame and simmer until the mixture is reduced by 50%. Stir occasionally. When you are happy with the viscosity set aside. Set in an ice bath to cool. After it has cooled below 150f add the next two ingredients and whisk until combined. Place in Squirt bottle and refrigerate until ready to serve. 
This is strictly optional, but I thought some sweetened shredded Coconut was needed. Yes, I could have bought the sweetened version, but I did not like the listed ingredients. The amounts listed on the scale are arbitrary but it worked. 

Toast the Coconut a bit then add Palm Sugar. When it's toasted to your satisfaction set aside and cool. If you are going to add this to the Ice-Cream, make sure it's frigid. 

I chose to add some sweetened Shredded Coconut to the Ice-Cream while churning.


When done churning stick in the freezer for 6-8 hours. The 70 ml of Rum liqueur makes this easy to scoop out. Very creamy!

Curing Notes and some Math

-

(OP-2016) I wrote this up to help you with some of my recipes. I hope these notes and links expand your knowledge of curing.  My recipes are straightforward to follow if you use the info given below. Replicating my recipes is possible because I use percentages for everything. The weight of meat plus fat is 100%, and all ingredients to be added are expressed as a percentage of the weight of the meat plus fat.  Percentages can be used to standardize recipes regardless of batch size, and all weights are metric. An online calculator is provided below.  No weights are given because the weights of meats vary. Again everything is a percentage of the meat's weight after trimming. Here is an example- Meat weight,  2393  grams, and we want to find out the amount of salt we need in grams-  2393 * 3.5%=83.755 or 2392/100 * 3.5 =83.755 grams. Or 2393 * .035 = 83.755 For most of my recipes, I use  .25%  c...

Eye-of-Round (Sous-Vide)

EYE OF ROUND- EOR  (OP- 5/2017)I've been wanting to do this for a while but prefer other cuts for roast beef (I still do). Anyhow, after reading all the pontificating posts on E-O-R, I wanted to see what all the hype was about. After making about 5 of these E-O-R's, I have dialed in what I believe is the perfect temp and time.  The T/T was selected because it provides the highest moisture retention, texture (tenderness) for slicing using a Deli-Slicer. If you plan on slicing by hand or wanted to slice very thick to serve as an entree it might not work. The E-O-R will be cooked at 128f for 24 hours and sliced on my Berkel Slicer.  (Disclaimer located at the bottom for T/T). Note: The T and T are perfectly fine. The Log Reduction is exceeded 12.  If you plan on purchasing the E-O-R at Costco or another whole seller, I will suggest buying it cryo-vacuumed-sealed. If you don't, there's a possibility that it was mechanically tenderized. I'm not against...

Burnt Ends the Sous-Vide way!!!

  The King of BBQ Brisket is Burnt Ends. But what are Burnt Ends? Traditional Burnt Ends are from the point of brisket. Where I live, you rarely find a whole packer (whole briskets), and when you do come across one, you're usually not in the market for one. Yes, yes, I could buy one and freeze it, but I don't like to freeze the meat. So I decided to make Burnt Ends entirely from the flat. Burnt Ends are a delectable delicacy and are prized by many if not all BBQ enthusiasts. I actually prefer Burnt Ends to BBQ brisket. Sometime during the "cook," the whole brisket is removed, and the point is separated from the flat. Traditionally the point is cubed up and doused with more spices and smoked very low and slow for a couple of more hours, and sometimes BBQ sauced is added. Burnt Ends are typically served with a little char on them with some BBQ sauce on the side or in sandwiches. I recently attended a BBQ workshop, and t...
