How to make Sea Salt Ice Cream

[darxetta]

Equipment:
Wire whisk or fork
Wooden spoon
Medium sized saucepan
Medium sized bowl
1 cup measure
1 teaspoon measure
Ice cream maker, ice-pop molds, or just a simple pan

INgredients:
2 eggs
•1 cup milk
•1 cup sugar
•1 cup heavy cream
•1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
•sea-salt
•blue and green food coloring (optional)

THE HOW TO:

1.Crack 2 eggs into the bowl and whisk well for a few minutes. A wire whisk works best but a fork can do.
2.Add the cup of sugar into the eggs and continue to whisk well until creamy.
3.Heat the milk in the saucepan over medium heat until warmish hot while constantly stirring with the wooden spoon (do not use a metal spoon it will scratch your pot and make the milk burn easier). The milk should be right before boiling, but do not let it boil. Do not heat too fast or the milk will curdle.
4.Add the egg and sugar mixture into the warm milk and heat over medium to low heat until thickened. This will take a while and the mixture may boil a bit. If it does reduce your heat to low (to prevent further boiling) and keep stirring until it has the consistency of very thin pudding. If you want a slightly richer ice cream, add a couple more sprinklings of sugar to this step.
5.Remove the saucepan from the heat and stick it in the fridge to cool.
6.Once your mixture has cooled to room temperature or below, take it out of the fridge and add the heavy cream and vanilla. People who want a slightly richer ice-cream may want to add a little more vanilla than usual.
7.Add sea-salt slowly and taste until you have a slightly salty but sweet flavor to your liking.
8.(Optional) Add the food coloring. To get the traditional kingdom hearts color, I used 10 drops of blue and 2 drops of green.

ICE POP METHOD:
This is the simplest method, and it results in sea salt ice cream pops much like you see in Kingdom Hearts 2 and 358/2 days. Simply pour your mixture into your ice-pop molds and put the molds into your freezer. When they are fully frozen you will have ice cold sea salt ice cream pops ready to be taken to your nearest clock tower.

ICE CREAM MAKER METHOD:
This method results in hard ice-cream much the consistency of what you would find in a local Edy’s tub. Simply turn the ice cream maker on and pour your concoction in and let it run from 1-2 hours. You will have to wait longer than normal for sea salt ice-cream to freeze because the salt lowers the freezing temperature. After it has thickened, place it in a storage container and put it in the freezer to freeze.

GHETTO FABULOUS WAY:
If any of the other methods are unavailable to you, just put the mixture into a contanier and stick it in the freezer. This basically makes a brick of ice cream, way harder than any other methods, but it still tastes good and you can scrape it out and put it in a bowl all the same.

Very interesting....I'm tempted to give it a try!

I think it'd be kinda cool to have a Sea Salt Ice Cream Carving contest... =P

For starters, i definately wood love to try it sometime. To have two completely opposite flavors bursting wood add a twist in any ice cream.
