Pumpkin-Pie Ice-Cream

-

After just a teensy sampling of the Ice-Cream, my brain seized up (Brain-Freeze?)! This cosmic reverie of blissfulness seemed like an eternity, but in reality, it was just a mere microsecond.  After thrusting my tongue to the roof of my mouth, I screamed Shazam Shazam inwardly!!!  I'm not talking about the comic book hero but what the word actually means. Holy-Cow, this is amazing. After the sensation of Ice-Cream-Nirvana faded, I began to think about what happened. Dang!!!!!!
 For the record, I am not a pumpkin pie fan. I served it to several people that were blown out of the water. I don't usually brag like this but dang this was the bomb. 
Let's get to it and make some Pumpkin-Pie Ice-Cream. I used the stuff from the can, but don't let me stop you from roasting your own Pumpkin. 








Let's discuss some of the ingredients. This extract is optional, and if you don't add, you may need to increase the pumpkin spice. 



You can either make your own Pumpkin-Spice, which is so super easy or buy store-bought. Pumpkin-Spice- {1 tsp. Cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. Ground (I prefer fresh) Nutmeg, 1/4 tsp. Ground Ginger, 1/8 tsp. Cloves.
The use of Lyles Golden Syrup is another new addition (optional- add to my recipes). Golden syrup is inverted sugar, and when added in small amounts to the Ice-Cream could be a game-changer. The addition of the inverted sugar, which is less sweet than sucrose, will ensure less of the water will form into ice. The Ice-Cream will be softer when frozen, smoother, and creamier. The percentage to use is roughly 20% of the sugar used. So, in other words, if your recipes call for 200g fo sugar, use 40 g of the syrup (Total 240g). If you don't use, consider increasing the total sugar by 10%.
This is not unlike my other Ice-Creams. So very easy to make if you have a scale and a tare feature. Having an excellent mixer like a Vitamix makes this a snap to put together.  


Lets first get all the ingredients together. 

Ok, now let's do this.....using the Tare feature measure out in one bowl the following. Skin-milk-Powder, 47 grams of sugar, Avacream, and Salt and set aside. 

Using your Vitamix (or mixer) and heavy-duty scale (with Tare feature), measure out the Milk, Cream, and Golden Syrup and Pumpkin. Add to the container the Extract, Vanilla Paste, and Pumpkin Spice. Don't forget to run the mixer on low for a few seconds to combine.


Add 4-Yolks to a bowl with 100g of sugar and whip until the ribbon stage.

To the container, add the Whipped Eggs, Run the Vitamix until thoroughly combined. Give it a taste. Add to the Vitamix in increments the bowl containing the Skinmilk Powder, Avacream, and salt. Run the mixer until thoroughly combined.

 Place a large Vaccum Bag into a 1-gallon pitcher folding over edges for stability and pour the contents of the container into the bag—SV-Process for 80-90-Minutes at 162℉ (SEE UPDATE HERE). The stovetop method works too. 
After it's done processing pour contents into bowl and Shock in ice-water!!!!

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...
