Homemade ice cream recipe step by step

The commercial offer of ice cream is very wide but it will always be delicious to know how to prepare artisan ice cream with which you can obtain more intense and really fresh flavors.

You can use this basic mix and add exotic flavors like date or sarrapia for an extraordinary ice cream; the options are almost endless.

The creaminess of the ice cream will depend on the fatty elements you add to the mixture, as well as how many times the mixture is beaten to evenly integrate the ice crystals.

This is a very simple yet laborious recipe.

List of ingredients

• ¾ cup egg whites (about 6 eggs) (room temperature)
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar (optional)
• 2 ½ cups heavy cream or heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup evaporated milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Whisk the egg whites until stiff

In a large, dry bowl, with an electric mixer on high speed, beat the whites until the mixture forms peaks, at least ten minutes. Once the whites are stiff, gradually add the sugar and cream of tartar and continue beating until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Step 2: Add heavy cream and other ingredients

Slowly add the cream, using a teaspoon at a time, beating on very low speed to avoid drawing air into the mixture; then add the evaporated milk, continuing to beat, and finally the vanilla extract. If you want to add some variety to this mixture, you can add any artificial colours and flavours you like at this point.

Step 3: Cool the mixture

Place the mixture in a plastic container and refrigerate, covered, for about three hours.

Step 4: Whisk the mixture

Remove the mixture from the freezer and blend on maximum speed until you have a consistency similar to meringue, place it back in the plastic container and repeat steps three or four until you have the desired consistency. Three repetitions are usually enough to obtain a very creamy ice cream. Serve with fresh fruit or syrup.

Notes – Tips

• The secret to getting a perfect snow point is that the whites have no traces of shell or yolk; in this sense, be especially careful to remove such impurities from the whites before starting to beat.
• Always try to use fresh eggs and at room temperature.
• This is an ice cream based mix, you can add any artificial colors or flavors. If you want to add fruit flavors, you can add half a cup of fruit pulp in the first iteration of step 4.
