Magic no ice cream maker ice cream

This is the recipe for the ice cream that I made the other night. I got this recipe off of Darby's blog . She has some great recipes and photographs her food beautifully. It makes me want to make everything. Matt loves the ice cream and I like it because I can make changes to it and adjust flavors to make it as I want (i.e. strawberry, coffee, nuts, etc.) I am hoping that I can make it less fatty and will let you know if I try it with less fat. Enjoy!


Yields: 1 quart
Ingredients:
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
pinch of salt
1/4 cup of sour cream
1 1/4 cups of heavy cream

Mix condensed milk, vanilla, salt and sour cream until well combined. To it add…

for CHOCOLATE variation: add 5-6 tablespoons {or more to your liking} of chocolate syrup

for MOCHA variation: mix 1 heaping teaspoon of instant coffee powder with 1 tablespoon of boiling water. Add instant coffee mixture, along with a generous squirt of chocolate syrup to the condensed milk mixture

Mix your heavy whipping cream on high {it would love a cold bowl and cold whisk too} until stiff peeks form {3 or so minutes}. Whisk some of the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture until incorporated and then gently fold the rest of the whipped cream in. Place in an airtight container and freeze 6 hours before serving!
