Tips To Make Ice Cream At Home

There are a couple of things to keep in mind while making ice cream at home. This is to ensure that your ice cream turns out delicious every time and tastes just like the store-brought ones.

Here Are Some Tips To Make Homemade Ice Cream

• Use full cream milk instead of the low fat one. This is so that the ice cream turns out super creamy and delicious, and that too without the addition of any extra ingredients.
• In case you don’t have custard powder at home, you can use cornflour instead. But remember to add a bit of vanilla essence to the ice cream base for flavour as the custard powder already has vanilla mixed in.
• Adding a bit of malai or milk cream as well as milk powder to the ice cream will make the dish even creamier. If milk cream is not available at home, you can add some packaged fresh cream or condensed milk instead.

1. First, bring milk to a boil and add sugar to it. Use full-fat milk and let it simmer on medium-low heat till sugar dissolves. Take a small quantity of this milk and mix with custard powder to make a smooth, lump-free mix and keep aside.
2. Add the custard powder milk to the simmering milk in the pan, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Let it simmer till it thickens and then cool it down to room temperature.
3. Now, take the ice cream mixture in a grinder and add milk powder, milk cream and give it a good mix in the blender. The mixture would become even thicker.
4. Divide this mixture into two parts in airtight containers. Add cocoa powder to one part and mix it. Place both containers in the freezer and let them set freezer for 2 hours.
5. Now, take another container and make alternate layers of vanilla and chocolate in the container. Sprinkle chocolate chips in between. Let it set and serve with chocolate sauce drizzled on top!
