It’s about time plain ol’ vanilla ice cream got spiced up a bit. Buttermilk and two types of vanilla make this ice cream stand out, making it nearly impossible to put the spoon down.
I change my favorite colors more than most people change cell phone providers. While white and black tend to take over most of my wardrobe and closet, a few bright colors can always be counted on to make themselves known. Kelly green is a favorite, yellow is something I adore but usually can’t pull off, and then there is coral, my dear beloved favorite bright color of the moment. Oh y’all, if I could only comprehend my love affair with this color and explain it to you in 1000 words or less. Even things I normally despise can be made better when they are sporting this color. Take these roses for instance. I am not a fan. I will never be the girl who gets excited about receiving a dozen roses. Never. You’re better off gifting me with a tomato plant or even a citronella plant like my dear sweet neighbors gave me over a month ago that has grown to ginormous size. Those are the sort of plants I get Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy excited over. Yet somehow when I spotted these coral-colored roses at my local market I quite simply couldn’t resist. That color just gets me; I’m lured in every time. I want my phone case, my most cherished favorite sweater, Brenna’s cat collar, B.O.B. Bob’s polo shirt, and anything I can basically think of to be this color. In a perfect world, this would all happen immediately; too bad it’s not a perfect world. Until it is, I’ll just sit here eating this bowl of ice cream in its lovely aqua bowl. Aqua, now there’s another color I just can’t get enough of. So many colors, and so little time.
Ingredients:
- 2 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 Cup Buttermilk
- 3/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Vanilla Extract
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Bean Paste
- 1/4 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
Directions:
- Toss everything into a blender and blend for 1 minute.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream machine and churn for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours in a freezer-safe container before serving.
Suggestions:
- This is not the recipe for cheating and adding lemon juice to milk to make buttermilk. You want the real thing for this recipe. No skimping allowed.
- Don’t have vanilla bean paste hanging out in your kitchen? First of all, you really should. Don’t waste any time ordering some today; I guarantee you won’t have any difficulty finding ways to use it in your baking.
Improvements:
- So what’s vanilla without chocolate? Fold chocolate chunks into the ice cream before freezing or totally drench with chocolate syrup before serving. Chocolate makes everything better.
- After blending the ice cream mixture refrigerate it for 8 hours before churning. The sugar crystals will not be as large if you use this method, resulting in a smoother ice cream.
- Serve this alongside a big ol’ bowl of Summer Blueberry Pie Crisp. I’m telling ya’ folks, it’s pretty much heaven on Earth.
