- [Kelly Clarkson] There are a few things that
scream summer more than ice cream.
It's awesome, uh here to teach us how to make
hundreds of different flavors.
Please welcome, homemade ice cream aficionado
and food network star Catherine McCord, everybody.
(Crowd cheering and applauding)
It's lovely to meet you.
- [Catherine McCord] I'm so happy to be here with you.
- [Kelly Clarkson] I'm so happy to be here
with you because you brought ice cream.
Um, and if you can teach me how to make a hundred
flavors of ice cream right now, you're a magician.
Cause I'm not good at making things
in the kitchen in general.
- No, this is so easy and I am telling you.
- [Kelly Clarkson] and I that's what they
all lead with by the way, by the way.
- [Catherine McCord] I promise you it's only
a few ingredients and like the homemade ice
cream is so much easier and tastier
than anything you can buy at the grocery.
And funny story my father-in-law is
an ice cream distributor. And when my husband
and I started dating, my husband sent me
pints and pints of ice cream. And I was like,
I'm gonna love you forever.
I know that this is... so today,
this is like in honor of that.
- Oh, that's so sweet. Well, how do we get started?
What's happening here?
- [Catherine McCord] Yeah so, in this pot,
we have got cream, heavy cream.
We've got whole milk, we've got a vanilla bean
tons and tons of flavor. Little bit of sugar
and a pinch of salt to kind of bring up the flavor.
So, you, like this has been heating, just warming to bring
up that vanilla flavor and then that's your base.
But to really like thicken it up
and jazz it up are these egg yolks.
That's our thickener.
- [Kelly Clarkson] Okay.
- So get your whisk and start like whisking
get some elbow grease in there.
- [Kelly Clarkson] Okay.
- Now one of the tips and tricks
of making the perfect vanilla ice cream, is tempering.
So get your temper.
- What does that mean?
If you want to get your temper, you know
when your temper gets really mad, what you mean?
- I don't know what you mean. I don't know what you mean
I'm so zen and cool, so yeah.
- [Catherine McCord] I'm so zen and cool.
- So zen.
- [Catherine McCord] So we're gonna take
uh, about a quarter of this mixture
and we're going to pour, you can pour it or spoon.
I'm just, but slowly
because we do not want scrambled eggs.
We, so you got to really beat it fast.
- Like all of it.
- [Catherine McCord] Just a little bit
no a quarter of it, we're gonna do a quarter of it.
- [Kelly Clarkson] Oh okay.
- And whisk, whisk, whisk, whisk
whisk quarter, quarter, quarter, just keep whisking.
Because all we're trying to do is like tempering those eggs.
So you can see like, let me show you.
See what I got here? See no scrambled eggs. It's like magic.
- [Kelly Clarkson] Yeah okay, okay.
- Yay and then pour it, yup pour yolks back in.
Or you could do it the other way.
It doesn't honestly, at this point, it doesn't matter.
Whisk, whisk, whisk, whisk, whisk
like this, now see how, (mutters) did you any egg yolks?
- [Kelly Clarkson] No, no, no, no. I did, I did a good job.
- By the way, who said you can't cook?
You're like a pro already!
- I'm totally faking it until I make it.
- [Catherine McCord] Fake it 'till you make it.
Yeah. So at this point we want to
refrigerate this or just let it sit here.
So it gets nice and nice and cold.
And then what we're going to do,
pour this mixture, after it's cold into our ice cream maker.
- Okay.
- [Catherine McCord] Now with ice cream,
we can add some flavoring. So like tell me what are like
what's some of your favorite ice cream flavors
- Anything with chocolate, like cookies and cream.
- [Catherine McCord] Oh I love that. Okay.
- Yeah.
- So at this point you could add some espresso,
you can add in um strawberry, because
we have our basic vanilla, but like
we're talking about like really like jazzing it up.
- Yeah, I love strawberries.
- [Catherine McCord] Fresh strawberries.
Um you can, and then you just let the ice cream maker go.
Now today in honor of your daughter River Rose's birthday.
- Oh it's comin- yes, yes.
- [Catherine McCord] Yes. So it, her birthday coming up
but we always do like birthday months,
Um we made River Rose ice scream.
- [Kelly Clarkson] Oh She's going to freak out.
I gotta to take this home. Okay.
- I put in some rose water in here and we've got some little
look at these like little gummy fish because
her name is River Rose.
- River Rose. That's sweet.
- So we are getting our ice cream scoopers out
- Okay.
because we are going to make this for your daughter.
- Now here's a really good trick, you know
when you get your pints of ice cream
and you're like, throw it on the ground and it's so hard?
- [Kelly Clarkson] And it's so hard. Yeah.
- It's so hard. Take his and put it into
hot water and it immediately will like scoop it.
- [Kelly Clarkson] Oh okay.
- But look at this because we made ours
in our ice cream scooper it's a little bit soft.
- Yeah.
- [Catherine McCord] So you can still get like,
Ooh, look at that and just put in your cup.
Okay. And what kid is not going to
like better than one named after them?
- My literally, my kids ask for ice cream
every night and I'm like, no.
- [Catherine McCord] Yeah.
- But (stutters) and I'm like no,
every day isn't ice cream day, it's not no.
- [Catherine McCord] We've got some sprinkles.
You could do some...
- Then you can control your ingredients too.
Like, that's kind of cool.
Like if you're making it that's cool.
- [Catherine McCord] And you can like make,
like, you could put colors out dyes
- Are these like edible Roses?
- [Catherine McCord] They're edible roses.
- That's adorable.
- It's just for her, so edible roses, you can out some
more gummy fish, and to pink it up You could also add
in, um little bit of plant-based food coloring.
So you don't get any dyes in there
but you get that pink gorgeous flavor.
- Oh my gosh. That's really good.
- [Catherine McCord] Right!
- Thank you so much! This is amazing
and what a fun summer thing to do for families. So cool.
