SOFT SERVE
Method
SOFT SERVE
- 1
Prepare cornstarch slurry
Whisk 2 tbsp cornstarch with 1/4 cup of the organic whole milk until smooth.
- 2
Warm dairy
In a heavy-bottom saucepan, combine the remaining milk (1 3/4 cups), heavy cream (1 cup), sugar (0.75 cup), and sea salt (0.25 tsp). Warm over medium-low heat until just steaming.
- 3
Thicken custard
Slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Increase heat to medium and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 4–6 minutes).
- 4
Finish custard
Remove from heat and whisk in vanilla extract (2 tsp). If using xanthan gum, sprinkle 0.25 tsp over the surface and whisk vigorously to incorporate.
- 5
Chill base
Strain the base through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean container. Cool briefly, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until completely cold.
- 6
Churn and serve
Churn the cold base in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer instructions until it reaches soft-serve consistency (about 15–25 minutes). Serve immediately as soft serve, or freeze 20–30 minutes to firm slightly.
