FYI, there is a lot of lovely vanilla flavor left in those vanilla beans you used for the ice cream custard. Whenever you use vanilla beans, when done, bury the bean in a large jar of sugar. Add more beans as you use them. After a few weeks, you'll have a lovely vanilla sugar, excellent for coffee, sprinkled on cookies or crepes, etc. As you use the sugar, keep refilling the jar, and you'll have good vanilla sugar for several years. Eventually, the beans will lose their flavor, and you'll want to start over. If you have a lot of beans, jars of vanilla sugar make good gifts, especially if you provide directions to refill the sugar whenever the level drops to 2/3 full.

@@suran396 Yes, once you have scraped out the contents (which contain the most intense flavour), this is how my mom (and myself and everyone I know) always use the “leftover” empty pod, though usually not for recipes where you boiled it along with its contents. If you already boiled it, it may not have that much flavour left, of course. And the moisture it has soaked up be a bit of a hassle, though the sugar will probably soak it up, but I’d say even that’s worth experimenting with. After all, the worst case scenario is having to discard a bit of sugar, second best/worst case is that it only gives a bit of vanilla flavour. Hardly something that doesn’t make it worth the try.
The vanilla seeds never gets old, it makes me laugh every time. 😂
OMG, I totally forgot about your "Seedless" Vanilla Pods, Jamie!🤣🤣🤣💖
This was a tour de force! And while the dessert looks and sounds (and surely tastes) incredible, I question the enormous amount of in-between washing-up of the "bowling downpour" (I counted 10), glass jugs (8), strainers (3 plus 1 tamis), spatulas (4), measuring cups, pastry scrapers, whisks, (wooden) spoons, saucepans, squeeze bottle, piping bag and nozzle, ice cream scoop, miscellaneous utensils like knives, offset spatula, frying pan, ladle...... not forgetting Steve (formerly known as Whiz Kid and Pulsator) - twice, immersion blender and beaker, "Whitey Ford" with her 3 elements (the connection between a gelato machine and baseball is unclear at this stage) and the wiping and/or scrubbing of the wooden board at least 4 times during this episode. These videos take so much more than cooking, filming and editing. I for one hugely appreciate the hard work (and unwitting humour)

Next time you make an ice cream I’d suggest making it first and allowing it to fully freeze while prepping the other components. You could also do it the day before. The big issue is commercial ice cream freezers actively freeze and maintain subzero temps while churning. Home gamer “freezers” don’t. You still need to finish it in the ice box after so it’s firmer than soft serve. This recipient seems like it’s made for a production kitchen so a slight adjustment is okay. All the flavors were still there and it sounds amazing.
@ambsquared

I have the same ice cream maker. You definitely need to freeze the ice cream overnight if you want to be able to scoop it. Also take the custard and refrigerate it fully. You can even put in the freezer for an hour before churning. The closer the custard is to freezing before you churn will keep the tub cold longer.

Honey, you have got to allow your ice cream to ripen for at least four hours in the freezer. Put wax paper on the surface to keep its quality as it firms up. But thank you for making one of my favorite Thomas Keller desserts. And don’t forget the incredible recipe on page 313 to honor Sally Schmitt. That is one worth doing for a video!
The editing in this was pure gold. 😅
Jamie, you've gotta remember the photos in cook books aren't the actual foods because they melt. As far as when he serves in his restaurant, he's got super deep freezers to solidify dishes before being served. We saw the vision and your tummy doesn't care what it looks like. 🤩

Your new Thomas Keller chapter is having an interesting effect: Where your Adventures With Julia was entertaining and informative, it did not make me wish I’d kept my Art Of French Cooking, far from it. On the other hand, where I never really had any interest in trying the rarified cooking of Thomas Keller, you make him seem quite accessible and the end results seem to be well worth the effort.
that chocolate sauce is really just ganache. which does make for a great chocolate sauce, but is also amazing as frosting and in many other places.
Love to see how much you co-operate with your upstairs neighbor. Very kind of them to let you keep your tools (and ice) up there.

Hello, I’m enjoying your journey into the culinary world. Just a touch of advise from a pastry chef… take a dampened kitchen towel, shape it into a ring (doughnut) onto your cutting board or counter and place your bowl into the center. This will stabilize your bowl when you need to temper your eggs.
2:31 Got it! Glad to see that Steve has been named!
I will never again scrape out the seeds from a vanilla bean without thinking of you Jamie!😂
You bring me great joy when you decide to use a new appliance with us. Reminds me of my husband who doesn't really read instructions until he is in the thick of it.😆
Little hint for you when chopping chocolate, especially if it's a thicker block. Use a bread knife, and lever it the way you would with a kitchen knife. It just destroys chocolate with no effort at all. Watch your fingers though, since it'll do the same to them.
Wiz Kid is a great name though!!!!

One of my best memories of Banana Split, was this old-fasioned restaurant (closed after a huge fire...😒), with my kids (for almost 30 years ago) at their birthdays. The Banana Split was so huge, even adults had problems eating one. Easy made too.... 1/2 banana, then 3 different icecreams (vanilla, chocolate and strawberry), then whipped cream with cherries on top, and last ones 2 different sauces (chocolate and strawberry). Happy times! ❤
I have really been enjoying this channel. It makes me want to challenge myself a bit in the kitchen. And as much as I don't like banana's I really wanna try this recipe.

The ice cubes 😂😂😂
I have to watch you every day just to keep my sanity 😅 don't ever quit!
1) I feel like the soft banana and vanilla coulda put right through the tamis or the strainer, without putting it through a blender first. The fibres and the vanilla pod would've stayed in the tamis, anyway. 2) You can add a few table spoons of salt to the ice-water bath - it lowers the freezing point, so the bowl stays cooler longer.
tip: when you're scooping ice cream and it won't come off the scooper, rub your hand on the back of the scoop to heat it up and the ice cream will fall right off
