September 2008, Chicken Farm Bakers’ Project #2: White Chocolate Ice Cream with White Chocolate and Nougat Chunks

We bake by the heart, that's the motto of our group, the Chicken farm Bakers (the name comes from the fact that we use a lot of eggs when baking and it will be great if we have our own farm, haha). Now, we have more member from 2 to 8, I'm so happy. But I don't want to limit ourself to the bake goods, there are so many kinds of sweet which we love.
So this project #2 I'm a host and I suggest White Chocolate Ice Cream.

As we don't limit the creation or the recipe so my Ice Cream is my own creation. Due to the fact that I really want to make white chocolate ice cream but I brought a wrong chocolate (I wanted the plain one but picked the nougat one instead, Haha), so I have to find a delicious way to add the White Chocolate with Nougat into it.

So, welcome you to the Chicken Farm Bakers’ Project #2, the White Chocolate Ice Cream, that become one of my favorite recipes now.

September 2008, Chicken Farm Bakers’ Project #2: White Chocolate Ice Cream with White Chocolate and Nougat Chunks

80 g	White chocolate, Chopped
3	Egg Yolks
25 g	Sugar
¼ teaspoon	Sea salt
1 cup/250 ml	Milk
1 cup/ 250 ml	heavy (whipping) cream
50 g	White chocolate with Nougat, chopped

In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and the salt. Cook the milk, cream, in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until almost simmering. Slowly pour the milk and cream into the egg-and-sugar mixture, whisking as you pour.

Whisk in the white chocolate until it is completely melted.

Return the mixture to the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a heat-resistant plastic or wooden spatula, until the custard reaches 175°F and lightly coats the spatula.

Strain the custard into a clean bowl and cool over an ice bath until room temperature. Refrigerate the custard for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.

Churn the ice cream in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Fold the White chocolate with Nougat chunks into the ice cream and freeze until scoop able.
