Hi Bold Bakers!
Just because it’s the holiday season does not mean that we can’t give my two-ingredient
ice cream a festive makeover.
I have five amazing flavors for you, including gingerbread cookie and chocolate peppermint,
so let’s get started.
As always the recipe for this ice cream can be found on BiggerBolderBaking.com and I want
to make sure that you head over there because it is your holiday baking destination.
Every recipe you could possibly need and exclusive ones that are just on my website.
Okay, now let’s get started on our ice cream base.
Now I know I've made this many times before, but for those of you haven't seen it, I'm
gonna make it really quick.
So using a stand mixer or hand mixer whip up your cream until it’s stiff peaks.
This will take roughly two to three minutes.
Once your cream is nice and stiff pour in cold condensed milk.
Now you want make sure that it is cold because it will whip up much better.
Continue whipping for another two to three minutes until this mix becomes very thick.
Now this next step is optional but I like to add a little bit of vanilla extract into
my ice cream.
Perfect, once your mix is thick your ice cream is ready to go.
So now that our ice cream base is done, let’s starts out by asking our first flavor.
Now gingerbread cookies are in abundance around the holidays but let’s put them to really
good use and make gingerbread cookie ice cream.
So here I have some little gingerbread cookies that I made, they’re so sweet, hello!
So we are going to use these to flavor out ice cream so here I have a pestle and mortar,
I'm just gonna pop these guys straight in there then go ahead and just crush them up
until there's big bits and small bits left.
Now you don't have to use gingerbread cookies, feel free to use any kind of cookie that you
like.
Once they're all smushed up go ahead and pour them into your bowl.
So into our cookie crumbs we’re going to go ahead and add in our ice cream base.
This is how simple it is to make this ice cream.
Pick whatever flavor you want and then mix it into your ice cream base.
Look at that, pretty much like instant ice cream.
No ice cream machine needed, really, really easy and also this recipe doesn't contain
eggs.
Fantastic.
Okay so our next step is to put it into our ice cream tub.
Now I have a link on my website of where you can buy these, they're really inexpensive
and I find them really good.
Then just go ahead, take your ice cream and fill your tub all the way to the top.
You know around the holidays this is even a really good gift idea, so simple and you
can make so many different flavors from the one base.
To finish off your ice cream, I like to top it with a few cookie crumbs, just to make
it look really pretty.
So now if you've seen my ice cream videos before you know that I go over the top with
my own homemade stickers, which are also available on my website, and then just stick him there
right on the front.
And there is our first flavor, now we’re gonna pop him into the freezer for a minimum
of four hours, but preferably overnight.
And he will last happily in the freezer for up to eight weeks.
So now in my opinion you cannot have a slice of apple pie without a big scoop of ice cream.
But I'm gonna flip that on its head a little bit and I am going to make an apple pie ice
cream.
So now the star of the show for this ice cream is my apple pie filling.
And I have a recipe on my website of how you can make this, you can also use applesauce
or apple purée.
Just go ahead and put him into the bowl, and then next we’re going to add in some cookie
crumbs, and that's gonna act as the crust of the apple pie, in you go.
And then just like our previous ice cream, we're gonna go ahead and add in our ice cream
base.
And then with a spatula just mix it all together.
There you go, another easy fall recipe ready to go into our tub.
This ice cream is the perfect marriage of summer and fall in one dessert.
Around the holidays if you find yourself with some apple pie filling or even pumpkin pie
filling, mix it into the ice cream base and you will have for yourself an amazing dessert.
And because I believe all your desserts should be dressed up, sprinkle over a few more cookie
crumbs.
There is no doubt about it but this is fall in a tub.
This little guy is ready for the freezer.
So cranberries are not just a side dish you have with your turkey, we are gonna take that
beautiful red fruit and turn it into a cranberry and white chocolate ice cream.
So for this ice cream obviously you need some cooked cranberries, now I cooked these down
in a pot with a little bit of water and a little bit of sugar, just to make them nice
and soft and to give them a little bit of sweetness.
So go ahead and add that into your bowl.
Next we’re gonna add in some chocolate chips.
You can use a chopped up chocolate bar, whatever you like.
White chocolate and cranberry goes really well together.
And then of course, our lovely ice cream base.
In you go.
And then with a spatula, fold them all together.
Now when I mix them I don't like to mix it too much, because I want a little bit of a
ripple effect from the cranberries, I don't want pink ice cream.
So I gently mix them together.
Perfect.
And there we have another flavor ready for our tub.
Cranberry and whites chocolate work so well together because you have tart and you have
the sweet, so they really balance each other out.
Lovely.
To give the ice cream a little extra texture, sprinkle some white chocolate chips on top.
And then on with our sticker.
I'm calling this ice cream “White Christmas.”
I'm really excited to try this flavor because it doesn't only look good, but I know it's
gonna taste great too, so I'm gonna pop him into the freezer.
When Santa comes to town, you have to have cookies and milk ready for him.
Well we are gonna mix things up a little bit and make Santa’s cookies and milk ice cream.
Now you always give Santa a traditional chocolate chip cookie, I'm pretty sure those are his
favorite, so I'm gonna put those in here and I'm gonna bash them up with my pestle and
mortar until they kind of resemble crumbs.
Big chunky crumbs and fine bits too.
Then take your crushed cookies and pour them into your bowl.
Okay now I'm sure it’s no surprise that I'm going to say add in your ice cream base.
Then with a spatula just gently fold these together.
What I really like about this ice cream is the big chunks of cookie, I like to leave
it nice and chunky.
Then you get nice big chocolate chips, a little bit of chewy cookie, it’s just the best.
Now wonder why Santa likes it so much.
Our next step is into our tub.
So now this is just a two-ingredient ice cream recipe, but by adding something so simple
like a cookie you make this crazy Big and Bold dessert, with just three ingredients.
It’s so simple.
And around the holidays when it’s really busy, this is the perfect treat.
There we go, lovely.
And then a few sprinkles of cookie crumbs on top, look at that lovely color.
And then as always, my trusty sticker, for “Santa’s Milk & Cookies.”
So I saved the very best for last, this next flavor is a winning combination around the
holidays.
It is chocolate and peppermint ice cream.
So here I have a little bit of melted chocolate, now you want to make sure that when you melt
it, it has time to cool down, you don't want your chocolate to be hot when it mixes in
with the rest of your ingredients.
So I'm gonna put that into my bowl.
Then I'm gonna add in some crushed up candy canes, which you can get a lot around the
holidays, I love those guys.
And then last but not least, our ice cream base.
Now because the chocolate hardens, your ant to move swiftly at this point and fold of
the ingredients really fast together.
Just until all the chocolate is combined throughout.
There you go you see those beautiful swirls of chocolate coming through your ice cream.
Now I'm just gonna pop it into my tub.
Around the holidays I always have candy canes in the house, and sometimes I never know what
to do with them, so this is a perfect way to use them up.
Now just to make our ice cream look extra beautiful, I'm gonna sprinkle over a few crushed
candy canes on top.
So no matter who's eating it, they know exactly what they're getting.
So now this ice cream is very aptly named “Peppermint Bark” because it’s chocolate
and peppermint, and definitely a holiday flavor.
I'm glad I only have to way four hours for these to freeze because I don't think I could
wait any longer to dig into these ice creams.
In just a few hours your ice cream flavors will be frozen, so scoop yourself your favorite
flavors and enjoy.
Oh my gosh, there is no rule that ice cream is just for the summertime.
These holiday flavors are out of this world, and I know you're going to love them.
Mm, yummy.
Thank you so much for watching, I really hope you enjoyed this episode, and I’ll see you
back here really soon for more Bigger Bolder Baking.
