Everyone likes Ice Cream; there are some great flavors out there such as Vanilla, Chocolate, Rocky Road, Butter Pecan and Good Ole Chocolate Chip. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to make your favorite ice cream treat at home? Well if you follow these simple steps you can.
Step One: Gather your favorite ingredients together. You will need 1 pint of light cream, 2 small cans of condensed milk and 1 to 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. You can add cocoa beans for chocolate or chocolate chips. Add candy or anything you want to make your ice cream treat even better.
Step Two: Get a mixing bowl that has a wide opening. You will use the same bowl for both freezing and for churning the ice cream.
Step Three: Mix the ingredients all together until blended. Then place the mixing bowl in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Once the mixture gets firm, place in the freezer for at least half an hour.
Step Four: After a half an hour, the ice cream edges should start to get hard and the middle should still be soft.
Step Five: Remove the ice cream from the freezer. Beat the ice cream with a mixer or wooden spoon until the mixture is smooth and very creamy looking. This process is called churning.
Step Six: You will want to churn the ice cream at least 5 more times or until you get the desired effect.
Step Seven: Once you have achieved the desired effect, place the ice cream back into the freezer for another half an hour or so.
Once frozen enough the ice cream is good enough to eat. Some people prefer to have softer ice cream like soft serve and others like a harder ice cream texture.
You can add anything to your ice cream to give it a blast of flavor. As we mentioned above cocoa beans and chocolate chips are good but you can be creative and add things like cookie dough, candy canes, M&M’s and even cake.
With so many different flavors, you could have a different ice cream everyday for a month. If you want more of an elaborate ice cream reciepe, you can look online there are thousands of different websites that offer a variety of styles and flavors that you have never dreamed of.
