Important Tips for Making Vanilla Ice Cream
For ideal ice cream texture, the fresh cream must be very cold before whipping. Depending on the cream’s stage, your ice cream texture may vary:
- Soft peak: for a smoother, more traditional ice cream.
- Whipped cream beginning to form: creates a slightly grainy texture but still creamy and fluffy.
Even if the cream goes past the point and becomes whipped cream, don’t worry! You can still use it to make a delicious ice cream with an amazing flavor and a unique texture.
Necessary Ingredients
- 500g fresh cream (must be fresh!)
- 1 can of condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
Step-by-Step Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream Preparation
Check below the step-by-step to prepare this delicious and easy ice cream:
- Whip the chilled fresh cream in a mixer. If desired, whip to soft peaks for a smoother ice cream. For the grainy and creamy texture, whip until the cream begins to turn into whipped cream.
- In another bowl, mix the condensed milk, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt until homogeneous.
- Gradually fold the whipped cream into the mixture gently to keep it light.
- Pour the mixture into a suitable mold or container, cover with aluminum foil, and freeze for at least 6 hours.
