“You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy ice cream, and that is pretty much the same thing.”

If you have never tasted ice cream, signify in the comment section. Nobody would signify because everyone reading this has tasted ice cream at one point or the other. This implies that ice cream is one of the sweetness of the world.

It is a great privilege having a caterer in the family because I am always opportune to stay with her to taste every new thing she gives a trial. In this blog post, you will be given 2 different ice cream recipes, you can try out any of the 2 to make yourself and your kids happy.

Recipe 1: Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream

To make a homemade vanilla ice cream, all you need is Condensed milk, cream, and any vanilla ice cream. However, the cream must be a type with fat of at least 25% to 40%.

1 can condensed milk or milkmaid (about 392 grams)
600 ml cream with at least 25% fat (whipping cream, or heavy cream)
1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Place your bowl, cream, and condensed milk to chill in the fridge overnight,
Add the condensed milk and your vanilla extract into a bowl you will use for mixing and set aside,
Pour your chilled cream into the bowl that has been left in the fridge overnight, then begin to whip with a hand mixer, whisker, or an electric blender. Whip until it is soft (this depends on your type of cream),
Scoop the whipped cream into your condensed milk, or pour the milk into your cream (whichever works for you),
Mix by stirring appropriately, until both are blended,
Pour into a container and place into the freezer to freeze for 8 hours or more. Once it is chilled or iced, it is ready for serving with any toppings of your choice. This can last for about 10 days.

It is easy, isn’t it?

Please note: you can get a whipping cream for your cream, but you will need to add little water for mixing. Whatever measurement you will be using is dependent on the quantity you are making.

If you will be using ⅓ amount of condensed milk tin, then you will need 200 ml cream. So for ⅔ amount of the condensed milk, you will need 400 ml cream, however, if you’ll be exhausting the whole tin, then use 600 ml cream. Your measurement of vanilla extract can be in your preference.
