Raw eggs in homemade ice cream?

I've been looking for recipes for homemade ice cream (especially a version of Chunky Monkey) and many call for raw eggs. Is this safe? And is there an alternative to raw eggs. I'm not sure I can bring myself to eat ice cream that I know has raw eggs in it.Raw eggs in homemade ice cream?
If the recipe has raw eggs, does it call for you to heat the milk and sugar (scald)? If so, hmmm


And no, the egg whites don't help coagulate the ice cream! You should only be using eggyolks, not the whites --it's about getting a creamier texture from the egg yolks -- whites will make of mess of some expensive ingredients!


If you have to have egg yolks in your ice cream, you're going to have to make what they call Custard (Del Monico or Creme Glacee)


Here's the deal -- You can modify the recipe by heating the milk/ or 1/2 of the required cream, and all the full amount of required sugar to scalding (dissolving the sugar in the process), pour it over the beaten, raw egg yolks, whisking so that you don't let the eggs curlde. Then, pour this into a sauce pan, cooking %26amp; stirring constantly until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. Chill this mixture , then add the remainder of cream and flavorings.


Just follow these directions, and I promise, your frozen treat will be a real crowd pleaser. Enjoy.Raw eggs in homemade ice cream?
Yes raw eggs are safe for ice cream.
yes, there is always a risk of salmonella contamination when using raw eggs. its really not an issue of right or wrong, but rather if you are willing to take a small risk.


i would imagine you would be taking a much greater risk if you eat raw fish or beef tataki or anything that isnt cooked to well-done.





i would suppose that 'egg beaters' MIGHT be a possible alternative, although the taste would undoubtedly not be the same.
the recipe may call for raw eggs, but it probably says also that you need to cook ( coddle or scald) them to make a custard which forms the base of you ice cream. 99% of all ice creams are custard based
tuna ice cream also nasty.
raw eggs are safe as long as they are fresh
Try a homemade recipe where you have to cook the custard before it goes into the ice cream maker.
yes, you need the egg whites to coagulate the rest of the milk
Usually raw eggs in ice cream are cooked in a custard to about 175 F and then cooled, which is safe.
i used to drink health shakes and they had raw eggs in them


musel men drink raw eggs every day sometimes the reson is for


protein they have alot of protein in eggs





try using marshmallow fluff instead


eggs are basicaly safe butt nowa days i would recomend cooking them
Salmonella can be present in raw eggs, It varies from area to area. The above recipes are right that say to make your base as a custard. If you don't have experience making a custard, be sure to use a double boiler and stir with a soft scraper continually. Joy of Cooking is a great source book.
Is that even good?
