Homemade ice cream, in addition to impeccable taste, prepared with soul and a special approach, can bring pleasure to the whole family. This culinary masterpiece can please not only loved ones, but also colleagues or friends. This sweet delicacy can be made from simple ingredients, adding whatever you see fit. An important point is that ice cream can be prepared not only by hand, but also using an ice cream maker with high productivity.
Making homemade ice cream
Let's get down to details. To prepare this sweet creation, combine the yolks (6 pcs.) with granulated sugar (50 g) in a deep bowl and stir until visually homogeneous.
In a small saucepan, combine condensed milk (300 g) with the same amount of pasteurized milk, heavy cream (375 g), natural vanilla extract (20 g), put on the stove, heat until steam appears and thick, then carefully Pour into the yolk mixture, stirring vigorously with a flat spatula.
To prevent the yolks from curdling, do not turn the heat on too high; pour not the entire mass into the resulting melange, but only half of the liquid. After this, add elite cocoa powder (30 g), then thoroughly mix all the ingredients again until a homogeneous viscous consistency. An excellent indicator of the readiness of the cream is when the spatula leaves a clean mark on the bottom of the pan.
At the next stage, cool the melange. To do this, place the pan with the mixture on a wire rack or pour it into a stand mixer, whipping the cream at minimum speed. Next, add a little salt, again slowly stir the elements with a silicone spatula, then move the mixture into the ice cream maker, set the “Operating mode” and start the cycle. Or pour the resulting mass into airtight containers, and then completely freeze it in the freezer.
At the final stage, we decorate the top of the finished dessert, depending on personal taste preferences and wishes, and immediately serve it to the dessert table with cappuccino or some other hot drink. Such an original and incredibly tasty dessert will appeal not only to adults, but also to children.
Cooking recommendations
- Now let's look at some practical and useful recommendations that are relevant at this stage.
- Firstly, the milk mass should not be too hard, fairly homogeneous and chilled (somewhere between ice and liquid).
- Secondly, to obtain such a consistency, you must constantly stir the delicate ice cream base, otherwise ice crystals will form and the mass will not harden evenly.
- Thirdly, use for this purpose any ice cream maker that simultaneously mixes the frozen mass and freezes it.
So cook and enjoy, pamper your favorite people with something cool in the heat, create something new, don’t be afraid to be original. Bon appetit and successful experiments!
