Ice cream is a popular dessert that can be sweet, salty, sour or mixed flavors. Regardless of your preference in
ice cream, the process of making it is similar. Below is the step-by-step guide to making ice
cream:
Step 1: Prepare ingredients
To make delicious ice cream, you will need the following ingredients: fresh cream, sugar, milk, and some flavorings (such as vanilla extract or chocolate chips). These ingredients can be purchased at supermarkets or food stores.
Step 2: Heat milk and fresh cream
Place the milk and fresh cream in a pot over medium heat until they are warm but not boiling. This helps to make the cream easier to whip. You can also add some vanilla extract or other flavorings during this step to enhance the taste.
Step 3: Whip the cream
Once the pot is off the heat, pour the fresh cream into a large bowl and use an electric mixer or hand mixer to whip it until it becomes smooth and glossy. This process may take a few minutes, but once the cream is fluffy, you can stop.
Step 4: Add sugar and milk
Add the sugar and milk to the whipped cream and mix them together with the mixer or by hand. You can adjust the ratio of sugar to milk based on your personal preference for richness. If you want a more intense flavor, add more milk.
Step 5: Chill and freeze
Pour the mixture into a sealed container and put it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours. This allows the ice cream to thicken and become firm. Then freeze the container in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight until the ice cream is completely solid. If you want a softer texture, shorten the freezing time.
Step 6: Add toppings
Finally, you can customize your ice cream by adding toppings such as fruit pieces, chocolate chips, or nuts. These toppings can enhance the flavor and texture of the ice cream.
In summary, making ice cream is relatively simple, but it requires careful attention to each step to ensure that the final product is of high quality.
