I would like to make strawberry ice cream with my new cuisinart ice-
cream maker. It calls for vanilla extract - 1tsp. I am wondering if using real vanilla bean will make a noticable difference in flavor. If so, what would be an equivalent amount of vanilla bean for 1tsp of extract. If there is a high quality vanilla extract that would be just as good, please recommend one. Thanks |

I'd use 1/2 of a bean, split lengthways, and scrape the insides into your cream. |

No sense wasting a bean when the main flavor isn't vanilla. Use Penzey's, Spice Island, something of that sort. kimberly |

I've found that extracts that are artificial are very chemical tasting. I've only seen a few that aren't artificial; i.e., lemon, orange, almond, anise. As to using vanilla extract with strawberry, depending on your own tastes, it may enhance the flavor. But I would use a good vanilla extract (Madagascar?). I bought 10 extracts when I bought the Cuisinart ice cream maker; basically I'm down to just a few that I use now. BTW the Cuisinart recipes are for 3 cups of liquid/milk, so if I'm adding a lot of strawberries, think about the ultimate volume you will have to churn. About 2 weeks ago I made strawberry ice cream using cream/milk mixture. I made it without eggs. Even using 2 cups cream to 1 cup whole milk, it tasted a bit icey. I haven't made the strawberry using eggs. It certainly would be creamier using eggs, if creaminess is what you're after. Good luck. Dee Dee |
