Vanilla Ice Cream

Vanilla Ice Cream

Never known that ice cream is such an easy dessert to make eventhough

you don't have an ice cream maker.  I have been telling my daughter 

that I wanted to make this easy ice cream for the past weeks and yesterday

managed to make it at the right time of the day.  Non working day for me

and non college day for my daughter to enjoy this sumptuous ice cream

especially in this hot weather.  Found this recipe from

Everyday Food With Sarah Carey, Martha Stewart.

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (400 g)

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 tablespoons bourbon* 

2 cups cold heavy cream (500 ml Thickened Cream)

(Note : Above black colour is the original recipe and

red colour is my modification to avoid wastage)

(*Note : Bourbon is to make the ice cream smooth)

Pour into a bowl the sweetened condensed milk with vanilla extract and bourbon.

Mix well and leave at one side.

Pour the cold thickened cream into a mixer bowl.

 

And mix until approximately 3 minutes.

or until stiff peaks form.

With a spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the mixture of

sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract and bourbon.

 

Once you have folded in all the whipped cream into the mixture.

Pour into a prepared loaf pan or any other container that you have.

 

Freeze until firm, around 6 hours (mine 8 hours).

When I scooped it out, it was so soft.

Note : I found it is a bit sweet with condensed milk and I still

can taste the bourbon. Next try, I will reduce the condensed milk

to 350 g and bourbon to 1 1/2 tablespoons.

But the softness and texture were great.

I sprinkled with chocolate rice.  Less than one day, one loaf pan

of ice cream is gone!  I think the other loaf pan will be gone by tomorrow afternoon.

I showed the picture to my colleague and told them that from the bottom of

my heart, I wanted to share with them but with 40 minutes of driving

to work, I believe it will melt by the time I reach office.
