Hello friends welcome to "Madras Samayal"
Today lets see how to make our favorite Ice Cream
We can make it 3 ways
With eggs, Custard powder or with Cream
Since cream is hard to fine in our local stores
I am going to make with milk
Today I am going to make base with eggs ,
next week I will upload a video with custard powder
I have taken 1 liter of full fat milk
Transfer this to a heavy bottom pan
We need to cook until the milk reduces to half (500ml)
Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally
It takes approximately 35-45 minutes on medium heat.
Now after 45 minutes milk has reduced to half
Turn off the heat and transfer it to a stand
In the meanwhile lets prepare egg base
We need 3 eggs yolks for this recipe
we also need 3/4 cup (150g) of sugar
Whisk until it turns pale yellow
Once done gradually add some milk and beat together
Add 2 tbsp of butter to add creaminess to the recipe.
Now gradually add the egg mixture and stir well
Gradually add the egg-milk mixture and stir well.
Turn on the heat to medium and cook until it thickens
Now after 7 minutes the mixture has thickened
Turn off the heat and add 1 tbsp of vanilla extract.
Pass it trough a filter to collect any solid particles
Perfect
Once cooled store it in an air tight container and freeze
Air tight box prevents ice deposits
Freeze if for 2- 3 hours
Now after 3 hours, lets blend
Freeze it for another 3 hours
Now you can see its thick, lets beat them again
Freeze it again and repeat 2 more times
Beat it for every 3 to 4 hours ( total of 4 times)
Now I am going to caramelize some cashews
Melt 1 tsp of ghee
Add broken cashews and roast until golden
Now to this add 2 tsp of sugar
and roast until it become golden brown
Once cooled break it into tiny pieces
Add it to the ice cream and freeze it gain
Freeze it again and serve :)
That's it our delicious homemade ice cream is ready to be served.
