SUPER EASY ICE CREAM!



Super Easy Ice Cream! image

Here is a simple and delicious ice cream recipe that does not require an ice cream maker! For a different flare try substituting 1/2 cup of the heavy whipping cream with flavored coffee creamer (I would reccomend not using the low fat kind) or egg nog. You can also sub the vanilla for any other flavor extract. Freezing time (cooking time) varies on how shallow your container is. I would sugest using this up within a week for best taste. Enjoy! --Recipe modified from "Quick Cook"

Time 12h45m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup half-and-half cream
1 ⅛ cups white sugar
3 tablespoons grated lemon zest
5 egg yolks
¾ cup fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Combine heavy cream, half and half, sugar, and lemon zest in a saucepan; bring to a simmer over low heat. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Cover saucepan and allow the mixture to steep for 10 minutes.
  • Uncover pan and bring back to a simmer over low heat. Beat the egg yolks in a bowl. Gradually stir one cup of the hot cream mixture into the eggs, several tablespoons at a time.

Cook and stir over low heat until the mixture just coats the back of a spoon, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; cover. Refrigerate overnight.
  • Stir the lemon juice into the cold ice cream mixture. Freeze in a 4 to 5 quart ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions. Transfer ice cream to a lidded freezer container, and freeze for 4 hours to ripen flavors before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the ice cream will be. Use fresh milk, cream, and eggs, and choose ripe, flavorful fruit.
  • Chill your ingredients and equipment before using them: This will help the ice cream freeze more quickly and smoothly.
  • Don't overbeat the ice cream: Overbeating will make the ice cream tough and grainy. Beat it just until it is thick and creamy.
  • Freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours before serving: This will give it time to firm up and develop its full flavor.
  • Store the ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer: It will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Making homemade ice cream is a fun and easy way to enjoy a delicious, refreshing treat. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create your own unique flavors and combinations. So get creative and experiment! The possibilities are endless.
