Questions & Answers

Q: How do you make the custard base for the ice cream?

To make the custard base, you mix seven large egg yolks, one cup of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Heat a mixture of whole milk and heavy cream, then temper the yolks and combine everything. Heat and stir until the mixture thickens.

Q: What ingredients are added to make the mac and cheese flavor?

For the mac and cheese flavor, you steep three parmigiano rinds in the hot milk and cream mixture. Add the mixture to the egg and sugar mix, then strain it and mix in three packets of Kraft mac and cheese. Churn it in an ice cream machine and freeze overnight.

Q: Can I substitute wasabi with a different ingredient?

If you cannot find or don't want to use wasabi, you can use fake wasabi from the store or omit it altogether. The wasabi adds a unique twist to the ice cream flavor, but it is not necessary for the recipe.

Q: How do you incorporate the buttered croissant into the ice cream?

Cut four croissants into cubes and bake them until dried and golden brown. Mix milk powder with the custard base and steep three-quarters of the croissant croutons in it. Strain, churn, and add the remaining croissant croutons near the end. Freeze the ice cream overnight.
