Ice-cream!!

[misssullivan]

Its starting to get quite hot again and my favorite treat on a stinking hot day is a big bowl or cone full of nice cold home-made ice-cream!

Making ice-cream is quick, fun and easy.


For your basic vanilla ice-cream all you need is 3 ingredients:

600mL thickened cream
395mL sweetened condensed milk
2 tea spoons of vanilla essence

1.Place all ingredients in a large plastic or metal bowl.
2.Using an electric mixer beat on high untill the mixture is thick and creamy (about 5ish min).
3.Use a spatula to clean down the sides.
4.Cover bowl with cling-wrap or if the bowl has a lid use that.
5.Place in freezer and leave untill firm.
6. serve and enjoy!

For different flavours such chocolate, coffee, strawberry, bananna you can use milk flavourings or toppings (not the sort that set hard) just add instead of vanilla essence ( will need to add more than 2 teaspoons, add ingredients to suit personal taste)

For other faves such as choc-chip, crunchie, sprinkles, nuts etc use original recipe and at step 3 use the spatula to fold in about a cup of your ingredient (again to personal tastes).


Making your own ice-cream is very satisfying and is sure to be a hit with family, friends and especially kids!

Have fun!!

I dunno what store bought stuff has but that would be what, 400% sugar? hehe

I'm sure it tastes good though, and that's what really matters...

I also have a recipe for a sherbet which is sort of like a cross between a sorbet and regular ice-cream

this one is good for any citrus fruits but will use lime as an example

INGREDIENTS:

600mL thickened cream
395mL sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons of grated lime rind
1/4 cup of lime juice
3 egg whites

METHOD:

1. Combine cream, sweetened condensed milk, lime rind and lime juice in a large bowl. Beat with electric mixer untill thick
2. beat egg whites untill firm peaks form.
3. gently fold egg whites into cream mixture
4. spoon into a freezer pan then cover and freeze untill firm
5. serve and enjoy

store bought has a lot more water/milk mixture which gives it the lumpyness. you will find that this recipe will leave your mouth feeling velvety and smooth.

Just made the honeycomb. As always, the moment I took my eyes of the toffee it went from clear to burnt in about 5 seconds - but it was only a little bit overdone, so I will have burnt toffee honeycomb to fold through my icecream! Off to buy some condensed milk now and it should be ready in time for dessert!

EDIT: Yuck - bi-carb not mixed in properly as I panicked about it burning :x Have to make it again...
