bakergirl77 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I love vanilla ice cream its really easy to make as you start off with a custard base and then you can make any flavour you like. For something creamy you can use 50% cream and 50% milk or if you want it a little lighter in calories use skimmed milk. For a raspberry ripple type you just make some coulis up and before its fully frozen fold it through and let set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wooler123 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Home made ice cream is just the best!! I started making my own a few months ago and totally addicted to the stuff. It is a lot easier than you may be led to believe just make sure you give it a good mix to break down ice crystals in between freezing. I found the recipes given for ice cream vary so probably finding one that suits you and your budget, I tried one from the Guardian newspaper first and found it very expensive to make and far too rich and 'grown up' for general family consumption. I have settled on one from Mary Berry which is still rich but appeals to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discodown Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I'm certain I saw a cheats recipe involving a tin of low fat custard. I can't remember where I saw it though. Google it, its probably on the net somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wooler123 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Rich Vanilla Ice Cream 4 Egg Yolks 1/2 pint milk 1/2 pint double cream 1 1/2 tsp vanilla essence 1) Put egg yolks and sugar into a bowl and whisk until a light colour 2)Heat the milk in a pan to just below boiling point. Add a little of the hot milk to the egg-yolk mix and stir to blend, then pour in remaining milk. 3)Pour back into pan and heat gently, stirring until the froth disappears and the mixture coats the back of a spoon. Do not boil. 4)Leave the custard to cool, then stir in the cream and vanilla essence. 5)Pour into a container and freeze for 3 hours. Tip into a bowl and mash to break down ice crystals. Return to container. Freeze for 2 hours. Mash and freeze for a further 2 hours. Remove from freezer 1/2 hour before serving. I use an electric mixer for the 'mashing' bit, I have found that if you don't do this bit properly the resulting ice cream isn't as smooth as it can be. Sounds a bit of a faff but it is really easy. I don't have an ice cream maker and don't intend to buy one as I really enjoy making it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WindyHill Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 If you freeze it without an ice cream maker, make sure you keep stiring it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
