Does 4 Ingredients Vanilla Ice Cream Have Real Vanilla?

Vanilla ice cream having real vanilla depends on the ice cream itself. Some ice cream has real vanilla and some ice cream uses artificial vanilla.

What Does Condensed Milk Do In Ice Cream?

The condensed milk will help the ice cream soften up while acting as a component to sweeten the ice cream. If you do not want your ice cream to come out too sweet, then you can use low-fat or fat-free condensed milk.

What is interesting about condensed milk is that the thick and syrupy texture of the milk comes from how it was created. Like any other milk, condensed milk comes from a cow. After the milk is extracted from the cow, the water content of the milk evaporates, leaving behind what we know and love as condensed milk.

Why Vanilla Ice Cream Is The Best?

There are plenty of reasons for vanilla ice cream being a fan favorite. From a universal standpoint, everybody likes the flavor of vanilla.

No matter where you go, everybody loves vanilla ice cream, and by everybody, I mean the people who do not dislike things because they are popular.

I am positive that somebody is going to read this and be like “this blogger is spewing lies because I hate vanilla ice cream.”

Buddy, if society starts to tell you that vanilla ice cream is disgusting, then you will fall in love with that dessert.

My point is that I never came across somebody who generally disliked vanilla ice cream.

What’s The Difference Between Vanilla And New York Vanilla Ice Cream?

Some people have a hard time telling the difference between vanilla and New York vanilla ice cream. I mean, they are both delicious, they are both sweet, and they are both white to the eyes of an amateur.

“Why do we have to be amateurs?” If you look closely at both vanilla and New York vanilla ice cream you will see that the New York vanilla ice cream has a yellowish look to it.

The reason for this is that New York vanilla ice cream is a custard-style ice cream that uses eggs which is why New York vanilla ice cream tends to have a yellow look to it.

On the contrary, regular vanilla ice cream typically does not use eggs therefore the ice cream comes out as white as snow.

Also, the egg affects the taste of the ice cream, giving the New York vanilla ice cream a richer flavor than regular vanilla ice cream.

Which Is Better, Vanilla Bean Or French Vanilla?

Vanilla bean or French vanilla is both great for homemade vanilla ice cream, however, one being better than the other is subjective.

Like the New York vanilla ice cream, the French vanilla uses a custard-style utilized by eggs.

On the other hand, vanilla beans give the ice cream a more authentic vanilla flavor. Also, the vanilla bean gives the ice cream a creamier taste and a thicker consistency.

In conclusion, if you want a richer flavor of ice cream, then go with the French vanilla.

If you want ice cream on the creamy side that is th-th-th-th-thick, then I would recommend trying your homemade vanilla ice cream using vanilla beans.

Either way, you can’t go wrong with homemade ice cream with condensed milk.

Why Do They Call It French Vanilla?

Fun fact, French vanilla was not made in France. “The creator is a great big phony!” Alright, alright, let us not start name-calling.

The reason why this ice cream is called “French vanilla” is that the foundation of the ice cream uses egg yolks which are not used in regular vanilla ice cream.

I guess if I think hard enough eggs do remind me a little about Paris. Actually, I do not think of Paris when I am using eggs. Regardless, the name is the name. As long as the ice cream is good, then you will not hear me complain.

What Is The Best Type Of Vanilla?

This is a 4 ingredients no-churn homemade vanilla ice cream recipe, but there are plenty more vanilla ice creams where that came from. We have already talked about New York vanilla ice cream and French vanilla ice cream, but there is more.

• Madagascar vanilla is known for its rich, sweet, and creamy flavor.
• Mexican vanilla is bold, dark, and smokey. The vanilla is extracted from a tonka bean that contains coumarin. Coumarin is banned from all food consumption products in the United States. So, if you live in the United States do not expect to find any type of ice cream using Mexican vanilla.
• Indian vanilla has a sweet woodsy flavor that some can debate being better than Madagascar vanilla. I think that is subjective and that you should try and compare the two for yourself.
• Indonesian vanilla has a woodsy flavor mix with a sweetness that is perfect for making homemade vanilla ice cream. The richness of the Indonesian vanilla bean can give the ice cream a French vanilla flavor without using egg yolks.
• Tahitian vanilla has a fruitier flavor than any other vanilla bean. This is because the Tahitian vanilla lacks vanillin content, but it still keeps its flavor component that is greater than any other vanilla bean.
• Tonga Vanilla – The vanilla experts say that Tonga vanilla is the king/queen of all vanilla land. Who are these experts you might ask? I do not know, but here is the reason why Tonga vanilla reign superior to other vanilla. The Tonga vanilla bean grows in an environment that is rich in fertile soil. This enhances the vanilla bean’s aromatic and flavor qualities beyond the average vanilla bean.

The Best Type Of Vanilla Extract?

I will not debate with anybody that vanilla extract from the United States is better than vanilla extract in foreign countries because it is pointless.

Truth be told, when you get a vanilla extract to use for your homemade ice cream with a condensed milk recipe, you are probably going to get the vanilla extract from your local grocery store.

Under those circumstances, the best vanilla extract to get is a pure vanilla extract, or you can get vanilla beans.

This will help your homemade vanilla ice cream have a more authentic vanilla taste.

What Is The Best Tasting Ice Cream?

For the sake of this recipe, I will say that the best-tasting ice cream is created using these 4 ingredients no-churn homemade vanilla ice cream recipe.

Then again, when I am in the mood for peanut butter and chocolate my favorite ice cream is from the homemade peanut butter chocolate ice cream recipe.

Also, I can’t forget about the times I am in the mood for a blueberry dessert. Those days the homemade blueberry ice cream recipe is my best friend.

The point I am trying to make is that the best-tasting ice cream for me depends on how I am feeling that day and every recipe I just mentioned will get you through your day with a smile on your face.

How Do I Substitute Condensed Milk For Ice Cream?

Mixing the nonfat milk with sugar, margarine, and boiling water will give the substitute milk the same thickness and richness that condensed milk has.
