We don't know about you but when we're in need of a frozen treat, Shake Shack is our go-to fast food restaurant. But if you don't happen to be strolling around the mall or have time to order from the fast food restaurant when you need a quick pick-me-up, it's a great idea to have the outlet's cool dessert stored away in your freezer.
Read on to find out how to make their Frozen Vanilla Custard.
Shake Shack Frozen Vanilla Custard
Shake Shack
Ingredients
- 5 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon good quality pure vanilla extract (such as Nielsen-Massey)
Directions
- Put the egg yolks and sugar into a heavy medium saucepan, and whisk until smooth. Whisk in the cream and milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until the custard reaches a temperature of 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer or is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon.
- Strain the custard into a medium bowl. Stir in the salt and vanilla. Set that bowl into a larger bowl filled with ice, then stir the custard frequently until it has cooled. Cover the custard, and refrigerate it until completely chilled, about 4 hours.
- Churn the custard in an ice cream maker following the manufacturer's instructions. Scoop the custard into a quart container with a lid, cover and store in the freezer for at least 2 hours, until firm. Custard can be kept up to a month in the freezer, but we prefer to eat it within 24 hours.
