What happens when a pregnant lady craves ice cream? She researches how ice cream is made and then goes home and makes some home made ice cream. =) You don't need anything fancy to make your own batch of ice cream. All you need is a bowl, some ingredients, a whisk (or something to stir with) and a place to freeze your concoctions.
Basic Honey Vanilla recipe:
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup honey
1 tbsp vanilla extract
Place ingredients into a bowl (that can go into the freezer) and whisk until it is as fluffy/thick as you want it. Place bowl into freezer for 30 minutes. Take bowl out and whisk everything again until it is all well blended. Place bowl in freezer for another 30 minutes. Go through this pattern 3 times and then leave in freezer until fully frozen - about 2 hours. And now you have honey ice cream!
For Jed's mint ice cream we did it slighly different.
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp mint extract
Place ingrients into a medium pot and stir over medium heat until starting to boil. Take off heat and cool mixture in an ice bath or in the fridge. Pour into bowl and whisk until as fluffy as you want. Place bowl into freezer for 30 minutes. Take out bowl and whisk until all well blended. Go through this pattern at least 3 times then leave bowl in freezer until cream fully frozen - about 2 hours. And now you have sugar ice cream!
We'll post up recipes as we experiment with other ice cream flavors. Enjoy!
