Make your own ice cream

Caught the end of an icecream making recipe on Good Morning yesterday. See link for details

It is does mention using an icecream machine, but I seem to remember making icecream as a child where it was put in the freezer and removed every hour to stir. Not sure how smooth the resultant icecream was though!

Ice cream is basically just frozen custard, so make your custard according to your usual recipe - you can use half cream and half milk to cut down fat content if you want, then churn in your ice cream machine or freeze in a plastic box. If you aren't churning it you need to get it out of the freezer and give it a good stir once or twice, just before it's fully frozen, to break up the ice crystals and get a nice smooth mix.

what are you favourite vanilla ice cream recipes please?
We're going to be making it at school and we have to do it on the cheap. My own ice cream tends to be rather heavy on the cream and vanilla pods making it too expensive for our school project.

How can I make it taste good but with less expensive ingredients......

many thanks

The recipe I use for "everyday" ice cream is 150ml whipping cream, 250ml milk, 2 egg yolks and about 75g vanilla sugar (or you could use caster sugar with a slosh of vanilla extract) - whisk the yolks with the sugar, whisk in the milk, fold in the whipped cream. My children prefer this to an ice cream with proper custard, as it's not so rich. Don't know though how school would feel these days, as the egg yolks aren't cooked - I suppose you could make a sloppy custard, leave to cool and then fold in the cream - I expect that would work. I use this recipe as a base, then bung in a smashed up Crunchie bar, and call it "honeycomb ice-cream" :rotfl: - complete cheat, but tastes fab

i do a quick vanilla ice cream which always turns out great. Use one large tin of sweetened condenced milk, single cream and a little milk to make to disired quanity for your ice cream maker (or tub if freezing the normal way), normally about 800ml. few drops of vanilla extract or essance, which ever one i have in and then add in what ever flavor you want. Peppermint essance and a few choc chips are always nice

I did my first ice cream today!

It was

-pint of double cream brought to the boil,

-add 1/2 tsp vanilla essence.

- Stir in 3 oz sugar until it dissolves.

-Beat egg yolks until the tunr light in colour. Add the cream mixture and stir quickly to keep it smooth.

Pour into a tub and pop in freezer. Because it is double cream it doesn't need stirring as there aren't any crystals. I added in some leftover plum juices from the stewed plums I did last summer (knew I'd find a use for them when I put the juice in the freezer) and gently stirred them in when it was half frozen so it has the 'ripple' look.

on post #4 how many eggs do I use, how much does it make and does the cream not split if you boil it ( never done this )
Thanks
