Hi Zoe, I've made lots of ice creams, and lately I tried one with 7 yolks (normally I use 4) and found it rich and luxurious, however, when I took it out of the freezer (each time) it smelled of sulfur. So my question is in regards to your custard having 10 yolks - have you ever experienced that? Love the fermenting idea also. Can the fermenting be done when I've already added my flavouring or only when its at the custard stage? i do lots of fruit based ice creams.
Hi. The sulfur smell and/or flavor when cooking with eggs can be caused by the eggs being cooked too quickly, so making the custard over a lower heat can really make a difference. If you have an instant thermometer, you can use it to cook the custard to 170F, then instantly strain the custard and chill the custard.
Letting the custard sit overnight is different than fermentation. It is just to allow the custard to become smooth and absorb the water so it doesn’t become icy when frozen. Fermenting with eggs is not recommended.
There are also ice cream recipes without eggs if you’d prefer.
