We all scream for, Ice Cream!

I scream

You scream

We all scream...

FOR ICE CREAM!!!

My current block in school is all about ice cream... does it get better than that?!  I may have spoken before about the 2 people in my class who are training to become ice cream makers.  Their apprenticeship is only 2 years, so they have their mid-term exam next week.  This means, for the two weeks of school, we're talking all about ice cream.

Did you know there are 8 different kinds of ice cream?!  Yes, eight.... and I'm not talking about flavors here.

1. Kremeis (Cream Ice)
2. Rahmeis (No clue about the translation)
3. Milcheis (Milk Ice)
4. Eiskrem (Ice Cream)
5. Fruchteis (Fruit Ice)
6. Fruchteiskrem (Fruit Ice Cream)
7. Sorbet (Sorbet)
8. Wassereis (Water Ice)

What's the difference??  Well mostly it has to do with the percentage of milk or fat within the ice cream.  Obviously the fruit ice creams differ in that fruit is used in the production.

Today, I made Parfait...

And here is my recipe:

150g Vollei
120g Eigelb
300g Zucker

Warm und kalt schlagen

650g Fruchtmark
1000g Schlagsahne

Unterheben

Now in English:

150g Eggs
120g Yolks
300g Sugar

Beat warm and cold.  Basically whip the batter over low heat until warm.  Then, beat in the machine until cold.

650g Fruit Puree
1000g Whipped Cream

Fold this into the egg and sugar mixture.

Choose whatever fruit puree you find the best, and have yourself a wonderful parfait whichever way you like it prepared!  Ours will be turned into a Eisbomben (Igloo-looking ice cream treat) tomorrow!
