Homemade ice cream is a fun and delicious challenge, and you can experiment with different flavors and toppings to satisfy your tastes. Here's a basic ice cream making method that you can tweak and innovate to your personal preferences.
Cream:2 cups, choose high-fat cream for a richer taste.
Whole milk:1 cup to increase the lubrication of the ice cream.
Sugar:3 4 cups, the amount of granulated sugar can be adjusted according to taste.
Egg yolk:6 pcs, for making cuonnaise for ice cream.
Vanilla extract or vanilla bean:1 teaspoon or 1 stick for vanilla flavor.
Salt:1 4 teaspoons to enhance the overall taste of the ice cream.
1.Making the custard:
Heat the milk in a saucepan, but do not bring it to a boil. In a separate container, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar. Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg yolk paste, stirring constantly to prevent the yolk from curdling. Then pour the mixture back into the pan and stir continuously over medium-low heat until the mixture thickens. Add vanilla extract or vanilla beans to the mixture, and finally add salt and stir well. Let the mayonnaise cool.
2.Whipping cream:
Whip the cream until it is neutrally frothy, not too hard. A blender or hand blender can be used.
3.Mix custard and cream:
Mix together the whipped cream and the cool custarnaise and stir gently. Make sure the mixture is smooth and free of particles.
4.Cooling:
Place the mixture in the refrigerator to cool, preferably for a few hours or overnight. This helps to ensure that the texture of the ice cream is more delicate.
5.Stir and freeze:
Pour the cooled mixture into the ice cream maker, stir and freeze according to the machine's instructions. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can pour the mixture into a container and stir it every 30 minutes until the ice cream is set.
6.Enjoy:
Place the prepared ice cream in an airtight container, place it in the freezer and wait a few hours until the ice cream is completely set. Then you'll be able to indulge in delicious homemade ice cream.
Toppings such as chocolate chips, nuts or fruit can be added to the custard to add flavor.
Taste the mixture before cooling, adjusting the amount of sugar and vanilla again to suit your taste.
With these steps, you can make homemade ice cream with a strong taste and a controlled flavor. Homemade ice cream is not only a way to satisfy your taste, but also a joy to make.
