Hello Can you make this Keto? If so what would I need to change and what would the measurements be of said changes. Thank you for your help. Fantastic channel by the way. I love it.
Nice. Always learning a couple of tips with each new episode. I made a vanilla custard with 15 egg yolks and it reminded me too much off egg nog 😂, way too many egg yolks😮. Keep up the excellent videos
Managed to get the Xanthan gum, for £12 off Amazon for 500g, my Ninja only uses 550g containers, so I only use 0.5g per mix, only tried it once after trying the ice cream calculator this weekend, really impressed with the ice cream, and the feel of it. Think that tub will probably out live me as well as have enough for 1000 containers worth. Thanks for the info on eggs, i have used them before in a gelato recipe, but really didnt think it added much in taste or texture, think i will save them going forward and stick with gum :)
Hey! I love your videos! I saw a recipe where they use beaten egg whites,Heavy Cream and milk. What are your thoughts on that recipe? The egg whites are a stabilizer instead of milk powder?
Hi ✌️ I have heard of the beaten egg white thing. I’ve not done it myself, might give it a bash and film it so we can all see what it’s like together 🤔
Great video. I remember quite recently I saw a recipe for 12 egg yolks. I haven't been making icecream too long but I laughed and was like that is too many. One of my first tries for real icecream was a French version. I found it very rich, it was nice but it was easy to have too much.
Great Video Nick! One question - in some of your prior videos you've used egg yolks and stabilisers - any reason, as I would think it's one or the other? Thanks
I just like to try things really. Stabilizers far out do egg yolks if used correctly. I’d use stabilizers in EVERY ice cream even those with eggs. This video was about egg yolks so I didn’t want it changed by another means. 👍
Lightbulb moment for me was watching a cafe make 2 eggs scrambled look like 4 or 5 at home. I watched them add water, blitz it on a milkshake machine and it was a great scramble where you couldn't register the amount of filler. Two yolks bonded a hell of a lot of water. 6 eggs in a pint is way too much for mine.
I wonder if the tempering eggs is just a historical leftover and for multitasking assistance (i.e. you can heat up a big batch of dairy liquid without having to watch it, then temper the eggs, add them, and stir until you get them up to 165/170F.) I've been learning about custards for a little while now and I think you are only the second person that I saw just throw the eggs in to heat everything up at once. It seems much more convenient and definitely the way I'll be doing it.
I’m sure the answer is out there and someone much more intelligent than I will teach us the reason but…… in a home environment, there’s just no point for ice cream. We are stood there watching the mix! I’ve never had egg bits in my bases doing it my way, why make it harder than necessary 🤷♂️
Hey Nick, i have been working on perfecting my base lately and getting closer to ideal target. Now, i can give away some of the excess ice cream to neighbors but have a lot of egg whites left over. So my question is... What if i just use the whole egg for my custard? Seems like a lot less wasteful, no?
I always recommend people try this. See what happens… overrun central, weird texture etc etc. it’s just worth doing. I’d actually say I HATE the texture of whole egg custard bases.
I enjoyed your teaching and appreciate your method. Would you tell me please why mine turned too frozen next day. Couldn't scoop it untill i left it for around 15 minutes. My freezer goes dow to -18 Any suggestions please?
Thank you for replying, i am a big fan and love your comprehensive explanation and teaching. I used your recipe of mascarpone cherry Gelato and also this one the vanilla custred( no stabilisers as you recommended) ice-cream I used CM powder 5g/lt and CMC 1/4 teaspoon. I am really confused is it something wrong I've done or it is the freezers or the ice-cream machine (sage smart)
How many times have I wasted egg whites because of frozen custards, it's been so annoying, definitely agree eggs are expensive, but it's the only natural emulsifier stabiliser out there where you don't need a science lab to produce it or have to faff about at home with fermentation to make a stabiliser powder. Haagen dazs uk vanilla use eggs but i hardly taste any egg in there, I guess it's a small percentage used.
That is very true, actually HD and B&J have also started sneaking in the stabilizers too, they haven’t been shouting about it though. HD only use the right amount of yolk to allow the lecithin to emulsify, any more is a waste.
@@PolarIceCreamery i guess the challenge is understanding the correct amount of egg yolk to use if the use case is specifically to activate lechitin. How is the egg quality at your new location? Was it chicken eggs you used? . I never knew HD were not 100 percent clean. How they get away it is very interesting.
@@cs00aap2 yep as mentioned in the video, most people don’t n is why they are using eggs and the amount of lecithin needed is surprisingly low. The eggs here are fine, a little smaller than the UK eggs and the yolks are not as orange but that’s just down to their feed. Egg quality here in Canada is actually really good it appears.
What skim milk powder did you use in this video? please send a link if it possible. I would like to study its nutrition fact in order to buy a similar one in our country.
When an ice cream recipe calls for skim milk powder, could you successfully substitute casein protein powder for that? I'm looking for a lower carb and higher protein content...
You could try! Protein powder does different things to a mix and if you use too much, you’ll end up with a block of super hard whatever. For carb reduction (not elimination), you’re better off changing to a sugar substitute with 0 net carbs and leaving the skim milk powder alone.
Hi mate, I came across your channel last night and instant sub! I've just bought the KitchenAid ice cream attachment and have been researching extensively about ice cream making day and night over the last week. You sir are by far the best I’ve come across, thank you for sharing your expertise! I’ve yet to go through all your videos but have gone through a couple since last night. Just a couple of requests and questions: 1. Can you please please do a recipe for Haagen Dazs Praline (with an egg version). 2. I’ve noticed you use the milk powder in all the recipes which so far I’ve seen. You mention on one of the videos you use the milk powder to stabilise, but in this egg recipe you mention the eggs are to stabilise. Is the milk powder necessary, if so what role does it play? 3. If I am wanting a sugar less ice cream can I reduce the sugar and substitute the missing sugar with stevia or sugar alcohols? To what extent will sugar reduction have an impact on the overall ice cream? 4. Can I use this vanilla recipe as a base recipe and then incorporate other flavours into? Many thanks once again ps I've actually seen that Michelin star video and thank god I don't need all those eggs! pps I'd love to come to visit your place when in Berkshire. I don't travel down south often but will need to make an excuse.
What about using whole eggs? Chef Jean-Pierre made a traditional tiramisu and threw it in the freezer. I made a coffee base with eggs and LBG last night. The good news is the eggs didn't curdle at 85C where the LBG needs to be. I scorched something though - there's a burnt marshmallow/caramel taste. Perhaps the SMP? Do you add certain ingredients when the pot comes off the hob so that they don't scortch? btw, do you prefer kofi, or thanks on youtube?
Yep you can use whole eggs, the white is mostly just water so it’s pointless really. The white “can” make the overrun go too far depending on the ice cream. Personally I don’t add at certain times but it sounds like general overheating. Try going to 75c, that’s usually enough for most LBG 👍 a bit safer too. I’ll check out Chef’s tiramisu. Either UA-cam thanks or ko-fi, either is good with me! Thank you so much! ☺️
@@PolarIceCreamery Thank you, Nick! I'm only on my third batch and I'm making better ice cream than anything in the store. I appreciate your knowledge and feedback.
I followed a recipee from a gelato chef from a shop in florance a little while ago. The video was strange as it showed her making the chocolate gelato. Strange because as you said that most of the youtube stuff on icecream do the hot mixture tempering onto eggs. She had the eggs in the pan, then added the sugar and then the choco powder, turned on the heat while adding the milk. She was chatting to the interviewer about gelato, so never got to see what else she did as it cut. So i did the same and it was like a revalation. I then was interested in finding about how to do the same but with stabalizers found you and followed some recipes and have a cupboard of goodies, tastes as good as the eggs. Used to have gelato 2000 for 20 years plus until funny enough the plastics broke rather than the the unit. Got the Ninja shitloads of pints . Happy days.
That’s another good way, mixing the sugars and yolks etc, much easier than the old way. She knew what she was doing 👍 Always good to help load up the freezer with the good stuff 🍨🍨🍨✌️
I love custard ice cream. As for others, I like eggs in some and not in others. Since I have chickens, I am always trying to find ways to use them up.😂
Wonderfully educational talk.

Thanks 🙏

Thanks 🙏
Thank you for this video! I’ve thought of this and couldn’t find a good detailed answer. Appreciate the information! 🙏🏻👍🏻
You're so welcome! ✌️

Hi, I responded to your other comment 👍
@@PolarIceCreamery Thank you, I replied back with a follow up question to your reply in the other video. Many thanks
It’s not showing my end 🤔 feel free to ask again.
Hey another amazing video. My icecream is melting too quickly what should I do
Stabilize the water, increase fat content, increase viscosity, higher overrun. All of these will slow melting times.
Thank you for the video!
My pleasure! ✌️

Out of curiosity why remove the egg whites, its a good amount of protien and I cant really think of any drawbacks.
It’s a lot of water and it increases overrun unnecessarily. Plus the resulting consistency is horrid!
Is this OK to make in a Donvier?
Absolutely, it might be best to take out 20g of sugar to make it freeze faster though 👍
Do I have to temper the eggs or can raw egg yolks be used?
Well you can’t make a custard without cooking the yolks. It’s all in the video, egg yolks need a correct temperature to “work”.
Hi! Which ice cream machine do you recommend?
Budget?
@@PolarIceCreamery up to 1000 US dollars. What ice cream machine did you use in this video?
