Cooling Mixture for Eggnog Ice Cream

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Jennifer Cail. On behalf of Expert Village I'm going to show you how to make this delicious refreshing eggnog ice cream. Our next step before making our ice cream is going to be cooling the custard completely in the refrigerator. Now you might feel this and say "hey this feels pretty cool the cream came straight out of the refrigerator and we also gave it an ice bath to cool down the custard rapidly. But this is not going to be cooled enough. This needs to be as close to freezing as possible without actually freezing, before we put it into our ice cream maker. So we are going to put it in the refrigerator all tightly covered for at least two hours. If you like to make your custard base in advance you can do it the night before you can leave this in the refrigerator for about 24 hours probably get a away with a little bit longer but you don't want to chance it too much. So if you're going to say make this for a dessert for a dinner party then you're going to want to make the custard the night before unless you are able to get at home from work really early before your dinner party. Because it needs a good two hours, you will not most likely to be able to do this while you're making dinner. So if you are going to have this for dessert you want to make sure to give yourself plenty of time."
