Homemade milk ice cream

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make homemade ice cream from milk? Prepare the products. Milk is suitable for any fat content, I have 2.5%. Take a measuring cup with a volume of 250ml. You can reduce the amount of sugar to your liking, as the recipe is designed for a sweet tooth. Vanilla sugar, natural vanilla or vanilla extract will do instead of vanilla. Read about how to add this flavor correctly at the end of the recipe.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the eggs well and divide into yolks and whites. Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush. The proteins that remain after separation, you can use to make meringue, omelet or other dishes. Add sugar and vanilla to the yolks.

3. Step 3:

   

   With a mixer at high speed, beat the yolks with sugar until fluffy and light.

4. Step 4:

   

   Pour the milk into a saucepan and heat it up to a very hot state. It is not necessary to boil milk, but it should burn.

5. Step 5:

   

   Pour a small amount of hot milk into the yolks and mix immediately — this way you will prevent the yolks from curdling during further cooking. Pour the next portion of milk into the yolks, mix again. The yolk mass will become quite liquid. Pour it into a saucepan with the remaining milk.

7. Step 6:

   

   Put it on a small fire and, with constant stirring, boil until the first bubbles. As soon as they appear, immediately remove the saucepan from the fire.

8. Step 7:

   

   Cool the resulting mass to a warm state. Then pour it into a suitable container with a lid and put it in the freezer. To make the ice cream homogeneous, without ice crystals, take it out every 40 minutes and mix it with a spoon.

9. Step 8:

   

   At first, the ice cream will be liquid, then it will start to freeze. Keep it in the freezer for at least 4 hours. I left it for the whole night, having mixed it 4 times before. Before serving, remove the container from the freezer for 15 minutes — then it will be more convenient to apply it.

10. Step 9:

    

    Serve the ice cream to the table. I used a special ice cream spoon to make balls. One portion was poured with caramel and sprinkled with nuts, another with cherry jam, the third was served with frozen and freeze-dried raspberries. Enjoy your meal!
