Homemade Ice Cream Without an Ice Cream Maker

Getting ice cream from stores is cool, knowing how to make it by yourself is amazing, here is how to do it yourself.


Ingredients

 1 cup (250ml) whole milk
A pinch of salt
3/4 cup (150g) sugar
2 cups (500ml) heavy cream
5 large egg yolks
3/4 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract

Directions

• Heat the milk, heavy milk, salt, and sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the milk and cream are warm (but not boiling) and the sugar has dissolved.

• In a separate bowl, stir together the egg yolks. Then gradually pour some of the milk into the yolks, whisking constantly as you pour.

• Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon

• Strain the custard into the heavy cream , chill until very cold atleast 4 hrs , add the vanilla extract, then refrigerate to chill thoroughly. Transfer the custard to your refrigerator freezer, and stir vigorously. After forty-five minutes, check it.As it starts to freeze near the edges, remove it from the freezer and stir it vigorously, really beat it up and break up any frozen sections. Return to freezer.

• Continue to check the mixture every 30 minutes, stirring vigorously as it’s freezing. Keep checking periodically and stirring while it freezes (by hand or with the electric mixer) until the ice cream is frozen.
• This is done to achieve the creamy texture of the ice cream.

• It will likely take 2-3 hours to be ready. Transfer the ice cream to a covered storage container until ready to serve

It's a little time consuming but it's all worth it.

Now enjoy your homemade ice cream
