Title: Easy ice cream
Post by: Sverige on June 22, 2015, 08:04 PM
Something of a surprise this. I always thought homemade ice cream needed a special machine, or lots of fussy cooking of "custard" over a water bath. But I made this in no more than ten mins and even whisked by hand without my arm dropping off

Ingredients
500ml whipping cream
400g tin sweetened condensed milk
1 heaped tsp instant coffee
3 heaped tsp cocoa powder

Method
- whisk cream till stiff and fluffy
- add remaining ingredients and blend / whisk together until the coffee dissolves
- pour into container/s and freeze

This made a nice mocha chocolate flavour ice cream but use your imagination on flavourings. The basic method is flexible, quick and easy.

That's a good effort Sverige I make mine in a vitamix blender

Thanks Bob. Do you have any other flavour suggestions? The mocha choc was good but next time I'd like to experiment with something else

Looks very good to me Sverige, my local Indian-store sells cardamom ice cream and it's just so good to eat.

I would suggest Camp Coffee (a syrup of coffee + chicory + sugar); it is wonderful poured over Cornish dairy ice cream (vanilla flavour) and should be even better if integrated into the ice cream from the outset.

Think Id be going down the Baileys Cream route with maybe some coconut block for good measure

Going to give this a go at the weekend, Sverige, looks a treat.

Other flavours? Maybe some caramel sauce mixed in, or a raspberry ripple; some blended raspberries gently folded in before freezing.

I can feel a cafe liegeois coming on first though  :)

Having made this yesterday, and frozen overnight, then served up to South West Scotland's ice-cream guru (my mother in law) tonight, the verdict is a big thumbs up :) Verdict was confirmed by Mrs Garp and Step-Garp.

A simple and quick method to achieve a bloody good result.

Looking forward to trying other variations - thanks for the post, Sverige :)

Good to hear that Garp. Who needs a fancy dancy electric ice cream maker? Not me.

Me neither, mate.

Been instructed to try mint next.

It's the missus's 50th this year so might try a Morgans and Coke version.

Thanks again....fun to make and eat :)

Hi Sverige there are to many to mention like I said I make mine in a vitamix blender
You can make ice cream in a matter of minutes with or without dairy
The vitamix is an expensive piece of kit but it has many uses eg making smoothies blending base gravy etc. However I'm going to use your method next time and leave my machine in the cupboard 

Look our easy it makes ice cream from this YouTube video I've found
