Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups heavy cream, chilled
1 1/2 cups whole milk, chilled
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
5 pounds ice (about 7 cups)
2 cups rock salt or ice cream salt
1/2 cup cold brew or brewed strong coffee, chilled
1 1/2 cups full-fat chocolate milk, chilled
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup, optional
1/2 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (about 5 cookies)
1/3 cup finely chopped chocolate (2 ounces)
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract

Steps:

  • For the vanilla ice cream base: Add the heavy cream, milk, sugar and vanilla to a 10-ounce metal coffee can with a lid (see Cook's Note). Close the lid and secure it with duct tape, making sure the can is completely sealed. Shake the mixture lightly to combine. Place the sealed can into an empty 3-pound coffee can with a lid.
  • Put on rubber gloves to protect your skin from the ice and salt. Add the ice around and on top of the sealed can, so the can is completely encased in ice. Pour 1 cup of the rock salt over the ice. Close the large can with the lid and secure it with duct tape. Place the large can on its side directly on the floor or a yoga mat, if desired (see Cook's Note). Roll the can back and forth, making sure to make a full rotation with each roll, about 20 minutes. The rolling is easier with a partner, but it can be done alone.
  • Open the large can and discard the ice and salt. Rinse the small can with water; this will help keep any salt from getting in the ice cream. Open the small can. The mixture should be partially solid with some liquid with crystals forming. Use a large metal spoon to scrape any solids that have accumulated on the sides and bottom of the can and stir them into the rest of the mixture.
  • Seal the small can again with the lid and duct tape. Refill the large can with ice and the remaining 1 cup salt. Seal the large can again with the lid and duct tape. Roll for another 15 to 20 minutes. Open the large can and discard the ice and salt. Rinse the small can and open. Scrape the sides and bottom with the large metal spoon. Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container.
  • For the coffee ice cream: Follow the instructions for the vanilla ice cream base, substituting the cold brew or strong coffee for 1/2 cup of the whole milk.
  • For the chocolate ice cream: Follow the instructions for the vanilla ice cream base, substituting the full-fat chocolate milk for the whole milk. In addition, add the chocolate syrup to the milk mixture, if desired, for a richer flavor.
  • For the cookies and cream ice cream: Follow the instructions for the vanilla ice cream base. After rolling the mixture for the first 20 minutes and stirring in any solid ice cream, stir in the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies. Seal and continue to roll following the instructions.
  • For the chocolate chip ice cream: Follow the instructions for the vanilla ice cream base, adding 1/3 cup finely chopped chocolate (2 ounces) to the cream and milk mixture before rolling.
  • For the mint chocolate chip ice cream: Follow the instructions for the vanilla ice cream base, adding 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract to the cream and milk mixture before rolling.

You've probably seen rolled ice cream all over your Instagram feed, but you can actually make this Thai dessert recipe at home.

Categories     Desserts

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pt heavy cream
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 pinch salt
topping of your choice

Steps:

  • Whisk the heavy cream, condensed milk, and salt in a bowl.
  • Pour the mixture over a half sheet pan, or multiple quarter sheet pans. Make sure the ice cream base just barely covers the bottom. It should be ¼-inch (6 mm) thick or less.
  • Sprinkle any chopped-up toppings you would like. With a whisk, mix the toppings into the ice cream base to ensure they're evenly distributed.
  • Freeze for at least 4 hours. Make sure to also put your scrapers and ice cream bowls in the freezer so the ice cream doesn't melt while rolling.
  • After the ice cream is frozen solid, remove from the freezer and quickly place the metal spatula/paint scraper at an 45° angle against the edge of the pan, pushing carefully forward. If the ice cream needs a little help forming, use a butter knife to push the sheet of cream into the roll.
  • Place the rolled ice cream in a chilled bowl and top with any toppings you desire.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose a sturdy can: Make sure the can you use is strong enough to withstand the rolling and freezing process. Aluminum cans are a good option.
  • Chill the can before freezing: This will help the ice cream freeze more evenly.
  • Use a freezer-safe bag: Place the can inside a freezer-safe bag before freezing to prevent freezer burn.
  • Roll the can regularly: Every 30 minutes to an hour, take the can out of the freezer and roll it back and forth on a hard surface for a few minutes. This will help break up the ice crystals and create a smooth texture.
  • Freeze for at least 4 hours: The ice cream will need at least 4 hours to freeze completely. You can freeze it for longer if you want a firmer texture.
  • Let the ice cream thaw for a few minutes before serving: This will make it easier to scoop.

Conclusion:

Roll-the-can ice cream is a fun and easy way to make a delicious frozen treat. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy a creamy and refreshing dessert that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give roll-the-can ice cream a try!
