Hey guys, it’s Ro!
Welcome to another Nerdy Nummies!
Today we are gonna be making something that I have been getting so many requests for.
I’ve been getting a lot of, hint, Kingdom Hearts requests for,
Sea Salt Ice Cream Popsicles.
It’s summertime, I thought this was a perfect fit, so let’s get started!
The things you will need, will be: 2 cups of milk, 1 cup of heavy whipping cream,
1/3 cup of regular sugar, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, 2 eggs,
some sea salt, you’ll also need 2 food coloring dyes, ones gonna be royal blue,
and one’s gonna be leaf green. You’ll also need a mixer, I’m using just a
hand mixer, but you can use a stand mixer, what ever you’d like.
You also need 2 big bowls, oh! Like so, and some popsicle trays.
Now these trays, you’ll just want a rounded bottom, anything so it will look
like the video game. I ordered these ones online I’ll put a link down below
so if you want to check ‘em out.
Last but not least, you’ll need some Wooden popsicle sticks, I found these I think
at Michaels or something, I’ll try to find those and put a link too.
OK, let’s put it all together!
The first thing that you’re gonna do is we’re gonna take our eggs, and we’re gonna
separate our egg whites and our egg yolks into these two bowls.
So you’re just gonna take an egg, and put the egg white into this bowl, let it
drip out, and then put your egg yolk over here, boop!
Now it’s time to mix, the first thing that we’re gonna mix are our egg whites,
this will take a few minutes, just wait until they start to form peaks like a
meringue. And then we’re gonna move over here and we're gonna mix together our sugar and yolks until
it’s really thick. Once you’ve mixed up your two egg mixtures, now you’re gonna
take your 2 cups of milk and we’re gonna head over to the stove with a
medium sized saucepan.
Pour your milk into the medium sized saucepan and slowly bring the milk to a boil,
on about a medium heat. You’re gonna want to stir occasionally because milk can burn!
Remove the milk from the stove and then you’re gonna pour it into the bowl with
the sugar and the egg yolks.
Then you’re gonna take your mixer again and mix it together again until everything is
evenly combined.
Now that you’ve mixed this all together, doo-dew-doo-doo-dew! We are gonna pour
it back into our medium sized saucepan on the burner, but this time you’re gonna
keep it on LOW heat, you do not want it to boil. You just keep it on the heat,
slowly stirring until it becomes a thick, like custard.
Once your mixture is like a custard, you’re gonna take it off of the stove,
and then we’re gonna pour it into our egg white mixture. Just slowly pour it in.
Then you’re gonna mix it together on a low speed until everything is combined
and add some sea salt.
When you’re adding your sea salt, just make sure it’s a good balance between
sweet and salty, I do not have an exact measurement because everybody has a
different liking, to this, but start small and then keep adding until it’s that
perfect balance between sweet and salty!
Do a little taste test, are you salty enough?
Oh that’s so good!
Oh!
Uh, a little bit more salt.
Little bit more salt in your game! Salt in your games!
OH! Yeah, that’s it! Perfect!
Now you’re gonna take this mixture and you’re gonna place it in the refrigerator
for about 5 minutes to chill, and then we’ll add our final ingredients!
Once your mixture has cooled from being in the fridge, we’re gonna add our 1 cup of
heavy cream… Weeeeeee!!!!
And some vanilla extract.
Then we’re gonna mix it up one more time and then add our food coloring.
Now, when you’re adding your food colorings, what you’re gonna do is
add 7 drops of blue, 1 drop of green. That’s the color that I found looks
closest to the video game.
Now you’re gonna mix it up until your color is evenly combined, it should
look like that beautiful blue!
To make things a little bit easier, I transferred our popsicle mixture into
this little measuring cup because it has this little pour spigot.
Then you’re gonna take out your popsicle molds, and you’re gonna fill them
up, carefully! Doo-Doo-Dee-Doo-Doo-Doo-Doo!!!
Leave a little bit of room at the top, because when we put our sticks in it
will make the liquid rise a little bit.
Once you’ve filled these molds, you’re gonna put these in the freezer for 1 hour,
and in 1 hour, this liquid is going to get a little bit more firm, and that’s
when we’ll stick in the popsicle sticks. because they will stay in position.
If you put them in before then, they might lean off to the side, so just put them
in the freezer for 1 hour, let them get a little bit more firm, and then
put in the popsicle sticks!
Ta-da! Here are the Kingdom Hearts Sea Salt Ice Cream Popsicles that we made!
They’re so cute, and perfect for the summertime!
I couldn’t think of a more perfect treat!
