Cream

To please yourself with a cool dessert on a hot summer day, we suggest preparing a real ice cream at home in 5 minutes. This recipe does not require constant stirring while it sets, which makes it very easy to prepare.

Ingredients:

• 550 ml cream 33% and above;
• 170 g condensed milk;
• 7 g gelatin.

Recipe:

1. We prepare gelatin for use as indicated in the manufacturer's instructions.
2. Pour the cream and condensed milk into the mixer bowl. Beat until smooth for 10 seconds. Next, increase the speed of the mixer and pour in the gelatin in a thin stream.
3. Continue beating for 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes soft and fluffy.
4. Place the ice cream in a plastic container with a lid, level it with a spoon and put it in the freezer for 5-6 hours.
5. We take out the frozen dessert and enjoy its taste.

To make it more convenient to put ice cream into portioned plates, you can hold the spoon in boiling water for a few seconds. Then the balls will turn out smooth and neat. This dessert can be served with fresh fruit, chocolate chips, nuts or other toppings.

Important! If you use gelatin, which according to the recipe needs to be heated, then cool it before pouring it into the cream.

Ice cream in a briquette

This ice cream made with cream and milk turns out very tasty and creamy. Eggs are not used in its preparation, and due to starch it produces a very delicate and velvety structure, without ice crystals.

Ingredients:

• 250 ml milk;

2. Add starch, powdered sugar and milk to the same saucepan. Whisk until all lumps are separated.
3. Place the saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil while stirring constantly. When the first bubbles appear, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for another 3 minutes.
4. At this time, whip the cream to stable peaks. We start at low speeds, gradually increasing speed.
5. Remove the milk cream from the heat and remove the vanilla pod. Add a small portion of whipped cream and mix.
6. Place the milk cream into a bowl with whipped cream and carefully combine with a whisk so that the cream does not fall off and the mass becomes homogeneous.
7. Take a convenient form or container and place the waffle cake on the bottom.
8. Place future ice cream on top and smooth with a spatula. Cover with the second waffle and press down lightly.
9. Place the ice cream in the freezer for 12 hours.

We take out the ice cream and cut it into portions. It turns out very dense and incredibly tasty. Can't compare to store bought!
