How to Make Light And Creamy Vanilla Ice Cream Anne Of Green Gables

  1. Chill the whipping cream, electric beaters, and a large mixing bowl in the refrigerator.
  2. Bring about 2 inches of water to a boil in the bottom of a double boiler.
  3. In the top pot of the double boiler, combine 1 packet (1 tablespoon) of unflavored gelatin and 1/4 cup cold water. Let it soften for 5 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, heat 2 cups of milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until tiny bubbles form around the edges.
  5. Add the softened gelatin mixture, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt to the top pot of the double boiler.
  6. Place the top pot over the boiling water in the bottom pot. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon for about 15 minutes until the mixture thickens.
  7. Cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes over boiling water.
  8. Separate 1 large egg into two small bowls. Set aside the egg white.
  9. Beat the egg yolk slightly with a fork.
  10. Remove from heat and slowly whisk the egg yolk into the hot mixture. Cook and stir for 1 more minute.
  11. Strain the hot ice cream mixture through a wire strainer into a large mixing bowl. Let cool to room temperature.
  12. Once cooled, beat the mixture with an electric mixer until light and creamy (about 5 minutes).
  13. In the chilled bowl, whip 2 cups heavy whipping cream with the electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  14. Wash the beaters thoroughly.
  15. Beat the reserved egg white until stiff and glossy but not dry.
  16. Gently fold the whipped cream, then the egg whites, into the ice cream base using a rubber spatula.
  17. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  18. Pour the mixture into a metal bowl or pan.
  19. Freeze for 3-4 hours, or until firm.
