We enjoy having our ice cream during movie night. It is very fresh tasting. No worries about having freezer icicles in our ice cream as is sometimes the case when you buy it from the grocery store.
Here is an easy recipe for homemade ice cream using just 4 ingredients and a just a basic blender. No need to go out and purchase anything high tech.
Hope you will enjoy this as much as we do!
Ice Cream in a blender makes approximately 1 litre of creamy, tasty ice cream.
Ingredients:
1 cup fresh whole (full fat) milk
1 & 1/4 cups whole (full fat) whipping cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Method:
1. Add all the ingredients into a blender.
2. Blend on high speed for two and a half minutes.
3. Place the mixture into a plastic container. Cover over with plastic wrap and place lid on tightly.
4. Place in freezer for at least 8 hours. The result should be creamy tasting ice cream.
Enjoy this vanilla ice cream as is or add your favorite toppings. Chocolate pieces, fruits, cookies, nuts, marshmallows, and flavored syrups are all wonderful choices. This ice cream is also perfect for making milkshakes, banana splits and sundaes.
