Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe – Sharmis Passion

Vanilla ice cream is a classic dessert that most of us love at any time. It is creamy, smooth and perfect to eat as is or as a dessert after a meal. The taste is simple but its taste is very rich and satisfying. It can also be eaten alone or with cakes, brownies or fruits. The good thing is that it can be customized as per your taste.

Making this ice cream at home is as easy as it looks and the sweetness and creaminess can be reduced as per requirement. If done correctly, the texture comes out soft and foamy. This can be made when a homemade sweet is needed immediately. It takes a little preparation but everyone enjoys it a lot.

About Vanilla Ice Cream

Vanilla ice cream is a much-loved ice cream flavor across the world. Made from milk, cream, sugar and vanilla essence it is simple yet comforting and gives off a nice sweet vanilla aroma. The taste of this homemade version is fresher and creamier than the store-bought one.

The texture comes out smooth and soft. If prepared completely like store-bought ice cream, it melts slowly and is not icy. The use of fresh cream makes it richer while the milk base keeps it light. Whipping and mixing gives a foamy consistency. Over blending makes the ice cream too soft.

Small variations can be tried with this ice cream. Some people add condensed milk or eggs to make it more delicious. Simply pour in, add chocolate chips, nuts or fruit for extra flavor. The vanilla essence can also be replaced with vanilla bean paste for a stronger aroma. A few drops of other essence can be added for small changes.

I make this ice cream during weekends or when we get together. I sometimes add fruit puree for different tastes or sometimes even add some dry fruits.

vanilla ice cream ingredients

• full fat milk – I used for rich flavor and smooth texture. Low fat milk may not give as creamy a feel.
• Sugar – I used it for sweetness. Don’t add too much sugar, it may make the ice cream too sweet.
• cmc – I used it as a stabilizer. This helps avoid ice crystals and keeps the ice cream soft.
• GM – I have just added cream for volume. If you don’t want, you can leave.
• milk powder – I used milk for richness and flavor, it also helps thicken the mixture.
• corn flour – I have just added milk to thicken it, it also helps to get a smooth texture without lumps.
• fresh cream – I added it while blending to make the ice cream creamy and light. You can also use whipping cream.
• vanilla essence – I have added for mild taste and aroma. If you want a stronger taste you can use vanilla extract.

Expert Tips

• mixture – I first mix CMC, GMS, corn flour and milk powder well so that there are no lumps later.
• boil milk – I boil the milk thoroughly and keep stirring it. I usually keep it on low flame otherwise it may stick a little at the bottom.
• cooling and filtration – Before straining, I cool the mixture completely. This helps to get smooth ice cream without pieces.
• blending – I mix the frozen mixture with the cream for a few minutes until it becomes foamy. This step makes the ice cream airy and easy to scoop out.
• to solidify – I just stay for at least 8 hours or overnight. Proper freezing helps to get the right texture but sometimes I am a little hasty.

serving and storage

Serve this ice cream chilled. It tastes good as a dessert after lunch or dinner. Scoop immediately after removing from the freezer. You can store leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. It remains good for 3-4 days.
