Homemade Ice Cream

How to make homemade vanilla ice cream. This ice cream is delicious and doesn't require an ice cream maker or having to get it out every few hours to stir it around. It's a simple recipe and doesn't require much time to make and only about 6 hours to freeze depending on how big your box is.

First of all gather all your ingredients:

2 eggs
2oz/60g Caster Sugar (about 1/4 cup)
10floz/300ml Double Cream (about 1 1/4 cup)
1-2 teaspoons of Vanilla Extract

Step 1 Beating the Egg White

You will need to separate your eggs for this step, you can buy devices to do this but it really isn't nessescary.

Crack the egg and pour over your hand, let the egg white slip between your fingers until just the yolk is left in your hand. Keep the egg yolks in a smaller bowl as you will need them later.

Beat the egg whites until they form peaks and are quite stiff, then add the sugar a spoonful at a time. It is the same process as making meringue so if you change your mind about wanting ice cream stop here dollop the mixture onto a sheet and stick in the oven. The mixture should look quite glossy/shiny and stiff when finished.

i used regular milk. It tasted like ice cream, but not that creamy and needed scraping from my spoon to work.

i made a batch again but decreased the amount of egg yolks by half and whipping the final mixture.
hope it works

As I was making this, the egg whites are not turning white and stiff.... Did I do something wrong?

using just egg whites. .. you can blend the up till frothy with a fork (lots of bubbles) then add a small pinch of sugar , then go back to whipping ,, this time either by hand or prefered , with a machine , blender, wand, whatever, , that is clean, , absoloutely no YOLKS or yellow . . if you get a drop, hey it happens, , but it works best without, , and faster. good luck.

Hi, you may not of done anything wrong. I forgot to mention it is normally best to whip the eggs when they are at room temperature NOT straight out the fridge. It is also to make sure the equipment you are using is clean and that there is none of the yolk in the egg white mixture. Hope this helps

Are you able to replace the cream with whipping cream? or do you need it at all?

[alskent]

Yes I think whipping cream would acheive the same result!

Welcome to this place! I like the look of the ice cream. Are you a student in Newcastle? L

[alskent]

Nope, too young at the moment - perhaps in a couple of years when I get the right qualifications and can get to uni *fingers crossed*

Ah well, give my regards to Newcastle, esp. The Trent House L
