Homemade Cream Ice Cream

Cooking method

1. Step 1:

   

   How do you make homemade ice cream from cream? Gather your ingredients. Pay special attention to choosing the cream — buy a natural, high-quality product with no vegetable fats, at least 33% fat. The flavor of the finished ice cream depends on it. Chill the cream well before you start. I made half a batch.

2. Step 2:

   

   Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan — this matters, so the mixture doesn't scorch as it cooks. Put the egg yolks in it, add the powdered sugar, and add the vanillin (or vanilla sugar). Mix everything well until smooth.

3. Step 3:

   

   Pour the milk into the yolk mixture a little at a time, stirring well after each addition.

4. Step 4:

   

   Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens. Don't let it come to a boil, or the yolks may curdle. You should end up with a thick, smooth custard — very tasty, by the way. Let it cool completely.

5. Step 5:

   

   Pour the cold cream into a deep bowl. Start whipping it on a low mixer speed, gradually increasing the speed. Whip the cream to stiff peaks.

6. Step 6:

   

   Pour the fully cooled yolk custard into the whipped cream.

7. Step 7:

   

   Fold the custard into the cream. You'll get a smooth, fairly liquid mixture that tastes a lot like melted ice cream.

8. Step 8:

   

   Transfer it to a container with a lid and put it in the freezer for at least 8 hours. Every 2 hours, take the ice cream out and stir it with a spoon — this prevents ice crystals from forming. Serve the finished ice cream with berries, nuts, or chocolate. Enjoy!
