In an effort to clean my
house, a photo caught my attention. It was an image of a little girl who
laughs and holds an ice cream. I have changed so much since then. The photo was
taken at my fifth birthday party! My mom
used to make little ice creams (that look like sandwiches) that everybody loved.
The scent of vanilla drove me crazy. We never sat down to eat them,we just ran around holding an ice cream; the melted
ice cream dripped onto our clothes and the carpets of the house made my mom
mad.... Nonetheless she always cooked them again every time I asked her (with my
help of course). In nostalgic mood I called her to give me the recipe which I post. I would like to mention that although I usually change the recipes she tells me, this time
I followed it step by step. The process was really easy and I didn’t have to use an
ice cream maker. It was so yummy! I have to admit that a little friend of mine
was much more excited than I was... I guess this recipe was written for children...
Ingredients
Some biscuits with
rectangular shape
400gr sweetened condensed
milk
400gr evaporated full fat
milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
extract
2 tablespoons sugar
Steps
Chill the heavy cream in the
fridge for about one hour before use and the evaporated milk in the freezer for
about half an hour. In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream, the vanilla extract
and the sugar with mixer for about 10 minutes. Pour in the bowl the
sweetened milk and beat with the mixer on high speed for 5 minutes more. Remove the evaporated
milk from the freezer and add to the bowl, beat with the mixer on high speed for
10 minutes. Pour this mixture into a metal bowl; place it to the freezer for
about half an hour. Take the bowl out of the
freezer and beat the ice cream until it’s creamy once again. Repeat the
previous step twice. Do this again so that you
have beaten the mixture a total of 3 times while freezing in meantime. Put the ice cream back
into the freezer until it’s quite soft but not too hard to handle. Take one
biscuit and spoon ice cream over top of the biscuit, use the back of a spoon to
press evenly. Place over the ice cream another biscuit and refreeze until set.
Tips
- To succeed without ice cream to harden and without making crystals, it is very important to beat the cream very well.
- In case you want to avoid all this process of beating and freezing so many times you can use an ice cream maker.
omg!!! feelin' the past! mum?
