Make Ice Cream Yourself: This Is How It Works

This is how you make ice cream

You only need three ingredients for the ice cream: 400g sweetened condensed milk, a teaspoon of vanilla bean pulp or vanilla sugar, and 500ml cream. You don’t need an ice cream maker for this. If you are lactose intolerant, substitute the ingredients accordingly.

• Before you start preparing, you need a 1.5l bowl that is suitable for the freezer. Put them in the freezer before making the ice cream.
• First, put the condensed milk in a mixing bowl. Then add the vanilla and mix both ingredients together.
• At this point, you can vary the recipe as you wish.
• If you fancy a strawberry ice cream, then carefully fold in strawberry pieces or strawberry puree into the condensed milk.
• Different pieces of fruit, berries, or even crumbles or biscuit pieces are also well suited for this.
• Refine your ice cream with lavender syrup, for example.

Five hours in the freezer are necessary

Always make sure that you whip the cream without any additives until stiff and only carefully fold it into the condensed milk. Otherwise, the structure of the mass could be destroyed.

• Put the cream in another bowl and whip it until stiff without adding a cream stabilizer or anything similar.
• Cream with a slightly higher fat content is best suited for this.
• Now add three tablespoons of the cream to the condensed milk and stir the mass. This is necessary to loosen the condensed milk a little first.
• Then all you have to do is carefully fold the remaining cream into the condensed milk.
• The entire mass is now placed in the pre-cooled bowl. It takes four to five hours in the freezer for the ice cream to have the right consistency.
• Do not keep the ice cream in the freezer for too long, otherwise, it will become too hard.
