homemade vanilla ice cream (no heavy cream)

Today I’m gonna share with you guys my homemade vanilla ice cream recipe.

So many recipes calling heavy cream for making ice cream. I used to make my ice cream dessert using heavy cream and condensed milk (two ingredient ice cream-recipe will soon)….when I in Maldives. But here in Srilanka heavy cream or whipping cream is the most expensive milk product ..even difficult to find.instead of using canned condensed milk make your own one.recipe here my homemade condensed milk

So I have googled how to make ice cream without using heavy or whipping cream. Finally I found this wonderful recipe from eating well .

The ice cream was so so delicious. You cannot imagine how creaminess it has without heavy cream.

This is a custard based ice cream recipe. what you have to do is make custard mixture ,chilled and churn using your ice cream maker.

Don’t you own an ice cream maker…don’t don’t don’t worry guys…still you can make any ice cream recipe without a machine..using still freezing method. It will takes almost two days to finish. but definitely worth it.

Here’s a simple recipe for low-fat no machine vanilla ice cream.

Let’s get started….

You’ll need: milk,condensed milk ,gelatin and vanilla essense, egg yolks

Whisk egg yolks and condensed milk in large bowl.

Sprinkle gelatin over water in a small bowl and set a side

Pour 1 ½ cups milk in a heavy bottomed sauce pan and heat the milk over medium heat until small bubbles appeared ..(edges of the pan)

Gradually add hot milk in to the egg mixture and whisk until fully blended

Return the mixture to the pan and cook over medium heat ,stirring with the wooden spoon until the back of the spoon is lightly coated.

Strain the custard to the bowl and add softened gelatin ,vanilla and remaining 1 ½ c milk.

Cover and refrigerate until chilled.

Pour in to the ice cream machine and churn according to the manufactures direction.

Still freezing method:

Put custard mixture in the freezer for about 45 minutes.by this time its start to freeze near the edges.take it out and give it a quick stir using whisk or hand held mixture.do this procedure until you have a smooth consistency in ice cristles.

Happy cooking,
