Elk River Falls, Alpine Coaster, Peach Cobbler with Homemade Custard Ice Cream

Hi, Ya'll! In this video I spent a day with my brother, Teddy and his 2 grandsons. We drove to Elk Park, NC and hiked a short distance to Elk River Falls. We then drove to Banner Elk, NC to Alpine Coaster ride. On the way home we stopped for pizza at Smokey Mountain Bakers in Roan Mountain, TN and made a quick stop at the Davis Girls Peach shed. I made peach cobbler with those peaches and homemade vanilla custard ice cream. Yum, Yum as Joe said. I'll demonstrate how to make the ice cream in a future video.

HOMEMADE VANILLA CUSTARD ICE CREAM
Use 2 quart electric ice cream maker. Freeze the bowl overnight.

CUSTARD INGREDIENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS:
Make the night before you want to make the ice cream.

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups whole milk
3 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1/8 heaping cup flour
¼ tsp. salt
2 cups heavy cream

INSTRUCTIONS:
In a double boiler over medium high, mix together milk and egg yolks.
Then slowly, as you stir, add sugar, flour and salt.

Mix continually with a whisk to get all lumps out and it begins to thicken. It will take 12 to 15 minutes. Keep stirring so it doesn’t stick.
You know when it’s thickened enough when you coat a spoon, run your finger down the back of the spoon. If the mixture doesn’t run back together, it’s ready.

Remove from heat and add 1 T. vanilla extract or paste.
Refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.

In a 2 quart electric ice cream maker with paddle in place and ice cream maker running, pour the ice cream mix in and add 2 cups of heavy cream.

Custard is ready in 15 to 20 minutes.
