After days of thinking about buying my own ice cream maker, I found an amazing recipe that lets you make ice cream without an ice cream machine! Mind Blown.
I decided to make vanilla ice cream with evaporated milk.... mmmmm. Recipe follows:
-----------------------------------------------------------
1 can evaporated milk
¾ cup confectioners sugar
Pinch of salt
1 vanilla bean, split in half lengthwise
¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup confectioners sugar
Pinch of salt
1 vanilla bean, split in half lengthwise
¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
Whip evaporated milk on high in stand mixer until light and fluffy (5 minutes). Slowly add confectioner's sugar, salt and vanilla and whip for 1 more minute.
Freeze in freezer for 1 hour in stainless steel mixing bowl.
Remove from freezer and mix for 1 minute.
Repeat 4 times.
-----------------------------------------------------------
I didn't use my vanilla beans because I didn't want to waste them in case the recipe turned out to be a bust (vanilla beans are expensive!). But boy was I excited to have made this recipe!
Yes, it takes 4 hours to make, but in the end, I felt so accomplished to have made my own ice cream without the huge machine. The recipe and work involved is pretty simple. All you need is time and commitment.
The ice cream came out pretty tasty and had a great texture. It was extremely airy and guilt free!
A good recipe to start your ice cream making adventures with- especially for those that can't have eggs!
I am definitely ready to make more flavors and perhaps try some new recipes with chocolate and maybe some condensed milk??!
