Homemade ice cream - seriously the most delicious thing ever!!
We have an abundance of milk at the moment. We have weaned Marmalade's calves, but are still milking her for a few more weeks. And of course when you have lots of milk - you also have lots of cream!! So we have been pretty indulgent with our cooking lately - trying to use it up!
I use to make this recipe for homemade ice cream a lot, but haven't for a while so it was a real treat - and sooooo easy to make!
It literally is just three ingredients; cream, a can of sweetened condensed milk and some vanilla!
I use a cup and half of cream, and whip it well until it is stiff, but not butter obviously! I am still using my very first mix master, a Kenwood that was a gift from my mother in law. It still works a treat!
Then it is simply a matter of folding in the condensed milk and a teaspoon or two of vanilla, to taste. Pour the mixture into a container (I actually use a washed store bought ice-cream container) and freeze it! About 3-4 hours is enough for it to be well set.
We had some last night on a plum crumble and it was delicious - the texture and taste is so close to store bought ice cream that I'm sure people wouldn't tell the difference if they weren't told!
I'd love to know some more recipes that cream is good for - if you have some suggestions, let me know in the comments below.
