Ice Cream- the word makes so many restless! I m of that
kind.. I like all flavors, all types, even if the ice cream melts and becomes a
goop I on it. Anything with ice cream
in it, I can simply swallow. My cousins used to make fun of me saying that even
if the word ‘ice cream’ is scribbled on a paper and given I would gulp it.
Well
I wouldn’t blame them because thatz how crazy I would go for the ice cream. Now
having boasted about my love for ice creams, I needn’t say that I have tried my
fair share of homemade ice creams and this is the basic recipe for the simplest
but the best of all flavors the vanilla ice cream. I don’t have an ice cream
maker so the recipe calls for simple whisking. I have used hand mixer. But the
simple balloon whisk and little elbow grease will do the job efficiently! So
here it is!
Ingredients:
Fresh Cream/Heavy Cream-1/2 litre
Sugar-3/4 cup
Vanilla Extract-2 tsp
How It Happened:
1. Take cream in a mixing bowl; whisk it well for 5-7
minutes until it froths well.
2. Add vanilla extract and sugar and keep whisking until the
sugar is completely dissolved and is slightly thickened.
3. Now pour the mixture into a freezer safe box and freeze
it. You can freeze in a blast-chiller as well.
4. Once when it is frozen, say after 2-3 hours, once again
whisk well (if using hand mixer use full speed) and again freeze them, repeat
the process twice and them freeze for minimum of 5 hours or overnight.
5. Serve with salted caramel sauce or chocolate sauce and
chopped nuts.
Notes:
* I used Amul fresh cream but you can use whipping cream as
well.
* The whisking after freezing is done to break any ice
crystals formed. You can use mixie/blender to beat them.
* Use good quality vanilla extract. You can use vanilla pods
too.
* You can use any topping or have it plain
* For home made salted caramel sauce recipe refer here.
