Do i bin the slightly curdled / scrambled ice cream custard

7 replies

I am making home made ice cream with the egg yolks left over from my pavlova

have made ice cream a million times before, yet today somehow (and it didnt boil amd i stirred constantly the egg either scrambled or curdled....

I took it off the heat immediatly and cooled it down fast and have sieved it....
but the custardy bit is still ever so slightly lumpy....

the question is do i carry in regardless (ie add the cream then churn and see what happens)

Or should i just bin it and have extra cream on my pavlova.

I didnt really need the ice cream, was only making it to use the egg yolks that i had.

Votes please!!!

Bin it.

I'd carry on - how would you tell the texture of frozen ice cream? All good ingredients, so it's got to taste good.

I have used it before- worked fine. I just picked out the lumpy bits before churning.

nannyl · 23/12/2009 22:49

maybe i'll carry on then....

even now the lumpy bits are tiny... maybe the size of a grain of granulated sugar? so certainly not 'pick-out-able'
i have sieved it and its all sieved too
