Ice cream ? Why not, this year’s weather in fall is very inviting to have cold and warm dessert. In California, weather can be as warm as 22 C/72 F in fall this year. This recipe does not need ice cream maker to make this ice cream. Original recipe is from America’s Test Kitchen but I modified to my taste.

Ingredients :

  • 100 ml sweetened condensed milk
  • 50 gr white chocolate
  • 1 tablespoons of vanilla extract
  • 75 gr sour cream
  • a pinch of salt
  • 250 ml heavy cream
  • 75 – 100 gr rough crushed Oreo (scrap out the cream)

 

Method :

  1. Combine sweetened condensed milk with white chocolate in the medium bowl, microwave it for 1 minutes. Stir halfway through and let it cool. I was melting the chocolate and the milk using double boiler or put it in the glass bowl over the boiling water in the saucepan ( don’t let the bowl touch the water, otherwise it will burn the chocolate). Let it cool
  2. Add the vanilla extract to the white chocolate mixture, mix it well.
  3. Add the sour cream to the white chocolate mixture, mix it well.
  4. Add salt, incorporate well.
  5. Whip the heavy cream with electric mixer until the soft peak.
  6. Whisk 1/3 of whipped cream to the white chocolate mixture and fold the rest.
  7. Gently whisk the Oreo crushed to the mixture.
  8. Pour the ice cream mixture to the air tight container, freeze for at least 6 hours.
  9. Enjoy your ice cream !

Handmade Chocolate Ice Cream

csc_1779

I thought it is going to be chilled this fall but I was wrong so far because it’s still warm during the day. Making an ice cream sounds a good idea, not only a solution for me to cool off the day but also  this recipe does not need ice cream maker. Works for me ! since I don’t have one.

 

I got this recipe from Cook’s Country magazine years ago, actually I took all these pictures back in 2009 I did not take the new pictures as I was struggling with styling and the heat. As you can see the styling (back then) was so awful (to my recent standard). This recipe is quite simple but it tastes so good, go ahead give it a try.

 

Ingredients :

  • 1 tsp instant coffee
  • 1 tbsp hot water
  • 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped fine
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups of cold heavy cream

 

Method :

  1. Combine coffee and hot water. Let it stand until coffee dissolves, about 5 minutes
  2. Melt the chocolate in double boiler or in the microwave, cool aside.
  3. Add milk, coffee and vanilla extract to chocolate mixture. Mix well.
  4. Whip heavy cream to soft peak, fold in chocolate mixture.
  5. Pour into plastic air tight container, freeze for 6 hours
