Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe, ice creams as such need no introduction but here we can talk about the texture of the ice cream made using this recipe. It is a smooth, soft and delicious ice cream with a flavour loved by one and all, vanilla. ANd the best part is that it calls for just 3 ingredients and 10-12 minutes of yours and a few hours of your freezer (obviously).
There are zillions of recipes for ice cream on the internet, using different ingredients and different methods. I was making ice cream for the first time so I chose the one with minimum ingredients and easiest method, without compromising on the taste (in case of ice cream it is okay to be greedy). The recipe uses heavy cream, condensed milk and vanilla extract. I used homemade condensed milk. I used an electric beater to thicken the cream. You can also use a hand blender or a mixer jar.
1. Cold cream beats better. So make sure to refrigerate it well before use. Chill the bowl and blades of the beater (or mixer jar or hand blender, if using that) in the freezer for at least 15 minutes.
2. In a bowl add 200 g heavy cream. In a larger bowl add enough ice cubes. Place the bowl with cream in the bowl with ice.
3. Beat the cream for 10-12 minutes at the highest speed of the electric beater. The cream will start to thicken. Be patient and keep beating. After beating the cream should no longer be runny. It will form soft peaks.
4. Add 200 g condensed milk and ½ tsp vanilla extract. Mix everything.
5. Pour the ice cream mix in a freezer safe container. Pack with the cling film. Put the cap. Put it in the freezer to set for 10-12 hours.
6. Take out of freezer and scoop out Once the ice cream is set, scoop it.
7. Garnish with some tutti frutti or chocolate chips and serve.
