Homemade Ice Cream Recipe
Ingredients:
- 160g heavy whipping cream
- 200g milk
- 35g milk powder
Optional (for flavor):
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (or any other flavoring like chocolate or fruit puree)
- 70-100g sugar (depending on your sweetness preference)
- A pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions:
- Mix the Milk and Milk Powder:
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the milk and milk powder. Stir well until the milk powder is fully dissolved. This step helps to make the ice cream smooth and creamy.
- Whisk the Heavy Cream:
- In another bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with a hand whisk or an electric mixer until it forms soft peaks. You don’t want it to be too stiff; just light and airy.
- Combine the Mixtures:
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the milk and milk powder mixture using a spatula or spoon. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much, as it adds the creaminess to the ice cream.
- Add Flavoring (Optional):
- If you’d like to add flavorings like vanilla extract or a sweetener, mix them in at this stage. You can also add chocolate chips, fruit purees, or any other add-ins you prefer.
- Freeze:
- Pour the mixture into a shallow dish or an airtight container. Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap.
- Place the container in the freezer and let it freeze for about 4-6 hours or overnight. Every 30 minutes for the first 2-3 hours, stir the mixture with a fork to break up any ice crystals. This step helps achieve a smoother texture.
- Serve:
- Once the ice cream is completely frozen, scoop and serve. You can enjoy it as-is or with toppings like fresh fruit, chocolate sauce, or nuts.
