The secret to creating Hanoi-style egg ice cream

The right egg cream is to have the fatty, greasy taste of eggs, the light sweetness of sugar, the cream layer is smooth, the consistency is moderate and more importantly, it’s not fishy at all. It sounds as simple as doing it, but it’s actually not that easy. To have a delicious egg cream dish, it requires the skill of the cook to be skillful and meticulous in each stage.

Egg cream must be smooth and thick enough to be delicious

The best is to choose chicken eggs we raise with corn, with rice, the yolk is big but fragrant and easy to produce delicious products. Egg cream only uses the beaten egg yolk, so whisking is the most important step, deciding whether your custard is delicious or not. The advice is that you should add a little lemon juice or tarta powder to stiffen and have the desired consistency. After beating for five minutes, if the eggs are foamy, add the powdered sugar and continue beating until the foam is small and smooth.

But the most popular are probably the traditional and cocoa flavors. After beating, just take out the glass to enjoy immediately. It looks nothing special, but it is extremely nutritious because it retains all the nutrients found in the egg yolk.
