Gemma's Bigger Bolder Baking Homemade Ice Cream Holiday Flavors
Hi Bold Bakers! Back by popular demand, is my homemade no machine ice cream but with a twist.
I am making BIG & BOLD holiday flavors and customizing them from some of your great
suggestions. So let's get baking!
To make my homemade no machine ice cream, all you need is a stand mixer or a hand mixer
and just two ingredients. It is that easy.
To make your ice cream base, you're going to whip your cream on high speed until it
reaches stiff peaks. I use heavy whipping cream but I know it's not available everywhere
so I put other options in the description box below.
Once your cream is whipped to stiff peaks, this is what it should look like. Nice and
thick: this is the texture you're looking for.
Our next ingredient is the condensed milk. I use Fat Free because it doesn't actually
seem as sweet. Also, unfortunately there's no substitute for the condensed milk.
The condensed milk whips better when it's cold so I like to leave my tin in the fridge
overnight before using it.
Now you turn the machine back on high and you're going to whip these two ingredients
together until your mixture is thick again.
Make sure you stay tuned until the very end of this video to see all of the holiday flavors.
And there you have it, that's your ice cream base. Now this is the texture your base should
be: really thick. This is why we whip it up again after we add the condensed milk.
Now let's get started on our first holiday flavor.
Oooh, yumm!
Do you want to know what to do with your leftover holiday dessert? We're going to make it into ice cream.
We are making Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream. The pie that I'm using is from my holiday pie video
so if you want that recipe go check out that video.
In a large bowl, we're going to break up our pumpkin pie slice, crust and all. I like to
leave some bits big for nice texture. And then just add in your base. And then just
simply mix the two together.
Thanks to you guys for the great suggestion for this flavor.
Can you believe it is this easy to make Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream?
If you're going to the trouble to make homemade ice cream, I think you should store it in
a really nice container. I'm going to put a link in the description box below where
I got these guys.
Now just pour your ice cream into the container. I topped mine off with seasonal pie crust shapes.
Your homemade ice cream would not be complete without a personalized sticker. Because I
like my pumpkin pie a la mode.
Oh, my gosh it's so good. It's like my two favorite things: pie and ice cream together.
Your ice cream takes around 6 hours to freeze or preferably overnight. But I'm definitely
going to have more of this when it's frozen.
Our next flavor was suggested by Mia Lopez via Pinterest and it is Sugar Cookie ice cream.
Now there is always an abundance of cookies around the holidays so this is a great way
to reinvent them.
For my sugar cookies, I'm using my favorite recipe from my Bubbly Baby Cupcake video.
For this ice cream, you want to break up your sugar cookies. I like to crush them pretty
well but still leave some chunks in there for good texture.
Add in your cookies to your ice cream base and then simply mix them together. During
the holidays when you're looking at an abundance of cookies in your house, now you know what
to do with them.
I like to add extra sprinkles into the ice cream base because everybody loves sprinkles.
Because this is the season of giving, please share this video with your friends and family
who love baking an don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to my channel.
Now into the container. For added effect, I like to add crushed cookies and sprinkles
to the top of my ice cream. I'm going to call this one Sugar Cookie Christmas. I'm going
to put a link in the description box below of how you can make these stickers yourself.
Now on with the lid and into the freezer.
Our next flavor is one of my favorites: Butter Pecan.
To make this flavor you simply caramelize pecans. In a heavy bottom pan, you're going
to add in your pecans, butter and brown sugar. Then simmer these three ingredients together
until they start to turn a golden brown. It takes around 4 minutes.
Then pour them onto parchment paper and let them cool.
When your pecans are done, they're going to look like this: beautiful caramel and nutty.
Mmmm. These are so good.
Like the other ice creams, we're going to break this up leaving some bits fine and some
bits chunky.
Now add your pecans to your base and then mix it all together. You cannot go wrong with
caramelized pecans.
And then into your ice cream container. And then top it off with more caramelized pecans.
These ice creams make fantastic gifts for the holidays. They are so creative and you
can customize them anyway you want.
So this flavor is a gift to all of my Bold Bakers.
But we can't just stop here.
This next ice cream flavor, is the most requested from you guys and it's mint. I'm going to
show you a really easy way how to do it and how to use up all of your candy canes.
With my mortar and pestle, I'm going to break up the candy canes. All the measurements for
these ice creams can be found in the description box below the video.
Now again add your ice cream base to a large bowl. And then add in your candy. So not everyone
is a lover of candy canes but when you try them like this you will be. Look at that beautiful
color coming from the candy.
Now put it into your container and top it off with more crushed candy canes. I'm calling
this one Peppermint Snow Ice Cream.
Recently I was lucky enough to attend a party hosted by HGTV Handmade. There were other
great YouTube Channels there who made really creative holiday gifts. I'm going to put a
link to all of the videos in the description box below.
A lot of you have really enjoyed my Cinnamon Rolls video and some have asked what to do
with any leftover rolls. So I would suggest eating them. Or, make ice cream.
To make this flavor, you want to chop your cinnamon roll nice and small. The more filling
and flavor you add to your ice cream base, the better it scoops and the better it tastes.
If you have any leftover cream cheese topping, that would also be really good in here. I'm
just saying.
Scoop your ice cream into your tub and then sprinkle some lovely cinnamon roll crumbs
on top. Now you can truly have breakfast for dessert.
It would not be the holidays without hot chocolate. A lot of you have asked me how to make chocolate
ice cream. It is really easy and I'll show you how.
You want to start out with good quality melted chocolate. We are going to add the ice cream
base using a method called introducing. We're going to add in a little ice cream base. Mix
it. And then we're going to follow with the rest of the ice cream base. And then simply
fold it in. You want to work a little bit fast because you don't want the chocolate
to set.
This tastes absolutely gorgeous. You guys are going to love it!
You can't have hot chocolate without mini marshmallows. So add in lots of those guys
in there. Drizzle melted chocolate for even more indulgence and then just swirl it in.
Fill your tub with your hot chocolate ice cream. Top with mini marshmallows and grated
chocolate. And then finish it off with your label.
Once your ice cream is frozen, you can finally dig in. I'm going to try the Peppermint Snow
flavor.
You know a scoop of this and the Frozen Hot Chocolate would be perfect together. You guys
are going to like this!
And there you have it, that's how easy it is to make holiday ice cream and there's a
flavor for everyone.
