Making Ice Cream At Home

Forum Thread

I have tried to make ice cream at home with 3 little ones recently. We have great fun.   I enjoyed the process of making this ice cream with my kids. So do them. Of course may be they found a chance to taste a little bit of the yummy chocolate/milk mixture, whipped cream and chocolate chips when they help me to stir or mix it.

It tasted very nice and smooth. But don't keep more than 2 weeks as no preservative added. Share the recipe here:

Ingredients:

  1. 3 egg yolks
  2. 40g sugar
  3. 1 tsp corn flour
  4. 170g fresh milk
  5. 1 tsp vanilla essence
  6. 100g cooking chocolate
  7. 220g non-dairy whipping cream ( available from Phoon Huat)
  8. 50g chocolate chips (optional)


Method:
1. Beat egg yolks sugar and corn flour until sugar has dissolved and pale in a pot.

2. Add in fresh milk, vanilla essence and cooking chocolate.

3. Boil the mixture and stir and cook at low heat until chocolate has melted and slightly thicken. Remove from heat and leave to cool.

4. In another bowl, whisk non-dairy whipping cream until stiff. Then fold into the cooled milk mixture.

5. Stir in chocolate chips (optional) and mix well.

6. Pour into a container and freeze for 3 hours. Take out from fridge, whisk the mixture again until smooth. Then freeze again until set.

I learnt how to make ice cream at Tom's Palette...

I learnt how to make my ice cream at Tom's Palette homemade ice cream shop... I don't know if you all heard of them before but they are basically a singaporean ice cream shop that seems pretty enthusiastic about teaching other people about making ice cream... i learnt that there is no need to use an ice cream machine. basically if you churn the ice cream by hand, the ice cream will still turn out pretty soft and nice... and it is definitely doable with the kids helping out...

It definitely helps alot!!!

It definitely helps alot!!! I've tried Greenfield's whipped cream and if the recipe needs to whip till stiff, thats what happens when i start to fold in the rest of the ingredients....thanx!! guess i have to make a trip to phoon huat to buy the non dairy one....

You are definitely more

You are definitely more experience than me in making ice cream with ice cream maker! I don't use (don't have) ice cream maker. I just use simple method to make simple, nice and smooth ice cream, and have fun with my kids... hehe...  
 
I use whisking machine to whip the whipping cream till its stiff. As the recipe requires non dairy whipping cream, it is quite easy to whip it up.
 
For dairy whipping cream, it is not easy to do so as if over whipped, the cream will be separated. Hope it helps...

Thanks for sharing! I tried

Thanks for sharing! I tried the recipe over the weekend with my kids (and yes they loved tasting while "helping") and it was yummy!

Altho I have to admit that cos I didn't know how to measure in "g' the milk and whisking cream, I did the equivalent in "ml" and it came out fine too.

Wow! Nice, GreenQ!

GreenQ : Wow, nice one!

Amylqf : Hey, me too! So far only ice lollies..

MMM : Sticky Chewy is my favourite too! With lots of chopped almonds... heaven.

Has anyone bought the ice cream maker from Toys R Us?

Was wondering if it will work the same way as the whisking machine...

Will share

Hi,

Will share our results this afternoon. The kids are so excited about making the ice cream. If I am successful I will make more as my sils are coming over to our house this weekend.. was thinking of shredding our cadbury white chocolate into the mixture... (as my sil bought 2 bars for us but I am not a white choc lover) see how it goes first.

I also went to buy a whisking machine yesterday... I nearly fell off the chair when I went to best denki... machine gg at min $498. Fortunately I manage to find aerogaz at $29.90 at giant. That is good enough for my needs and my mum said she would like to use the machine after that so it makes economic sense or my hubby will be like.... why don't you spend $29.90 to buy yourself lots of ice cream  The man just don't get it.

Haha my fav is sticky chewy choc from Swensens. If I am successful today.... I can explore more to reach that level one day : ) This is just the beginning. Thanks for sharing.

Hi MMM, I used to use

Hi MMM, I used to use toblerone chocolate and other bitter chocolate. It tasted ok, not bitter. But I never used this strong bitter droplets. I think shd not be bitter as it will mix with other ingredients... 
 
Yes, you have bought the correct non daily whipping cream! Only put the require amount of it in the bowl as per step 4. As the recipe only require 220g of it, you can store the balance in freezer. Juz chill it in the refrigerator for few hours before use.
 
For step 6. Pour the mixture into a container. Put in the freezer for roughly 3 hours or until it is semi-frozen (half is frozen and half still in liquid state). If you over-freeze it also never mind, just use a fork to break it into small pieces. Put the ice cream into a bowl, whisk using electric mixer.. This is the make the ice cream smoother and fluffier. Then put it in a container and freeze again until fully set.
 
I use plain fresh milk only. Never tried chocolate fresh milk. I think using chocolate fresh milk will increase the chocolate taste...  
 
You are welcome to ask any qtn! Hope I can help.... Have fun and enjoy your own ice cream, MMM!!

Thks GreenQ. The problem is

Thks GreenQ. The problem is my DD only takes strawberry flavour ice-cream, and my DS only takes chocolate flavour ice-cream, so no choice, need to make two flavours.
