I too am a bit heavy on the cream & vanilla pods, so suspect my recipe is just like yours. BUT, if you're doing it as a school project, why not try to get some of the class to make it via the "shake in a plastic bag full of ice method"? You could compare results & see which tasted best.
I believe you put cream/milk in a plastic bag (tied tight!) & put that inside a larger plastic bag full of ice cubes (tied even tighter!) and shake until it thickens/freezes. I'm sure I've seen it on ready steady cook. You can probably google it for more info.0 -
I have made ice cream with a class - we added salt to the ice using the double bag method. This lowers the temperature (you can really feel it) and will freeze the cream/milk/sugar/vanilla mix. I'm not sure that ice will stay cold enough for long enough without the salt.Stash Busting Challenge waiting for inspiration:D :j0

Yep this does work really well, add some salt in with the ice like chiefpossession says to take the temperature down even further (this freezing mixture goes down to -5-10 degrees). If you crush the ice a little bit rather than use big chunks this helps with the cooling too.:staradmin:starmod: beware of geeks bearing .gifs...:starmod::staradmin:starmod: Whoever said "nothing is impossible" obviously never tried to nail jelly to a tree :starmod:0 -

I posted a great recipe for Christmas Ice Cream on the Xmas Meals thread and remembered this one which I use mainly in the summer but would be more suitable for children at Xmas. Good to have with Xmas pud , mince pies etc too. Dead easy to make BUT you do need REAL vanilla extract not essence.. I use the Madagascar one from Lakeland, expensive but it lasts ages.
Home Made Ice Cream
1 pint (570ml) double cream
4 tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
10 level tablespoons sifted icing sugar ( Seems a lot I know but it doesn't taste too sweet)
Beat the cream and milk together in a bowl until the mixture has thickened slightly. Add the vanilla extract and icing sugar and mix gently until well combined. Pour into a tray or carton and place in the freezer for approx 1 hour or until the edges of the mixture have frozen. Empty back into a bowl and mix lightly then return to container and freeze until firm.

Excellent :T real vanilla ice cream without eggs for my allergic dd -thank you Ellidee.
Would adding melted chocolate to it make a good chocolate ice cream do you think ? -or instant coffee powder for a coffee flavour :think:0 -
Thank you for your comments ladies. I don't know how to do links but if you look on the Christmas & Special Occasions Board there is a thread called Christmas Menus. I posted the Xmas Ice Cream recipe there.
Thriftlady there is a variation on the Xmas recipe where you can replace the fruit & nuts with 140 g (5oz ) chocolate chips plus an extra 100g (4oz) chopped marshmallows. Omit the coffee and brandy but add an extra tablespoon of cocoa and a teaspoon of vanilla extract. HTHNothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task. William James0 -
