Calories: 249kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups whipping cream 500 ml
- 10 oz Sweetened condensed milk 300 ml See Note 1
Optional Ingredients
- Note: All flavouring should be added to the sweetened condensed milk. Keep cookie crumbs and nuts if using separate.
- almond extract, vanilla extract, peppermint extract flavouring of your choice. Start with a ½ teaspoon of extract, mix it in and add more if needed to taste.
- ¼ peanut butter
- ¼ cup syrup of your choice- chocolate, caramel, dulce de leche, maple, lemon, orange, peppermint, rum etc See Note 5 for homemade Dulce de Leche
- ¼ cup cocoa powder mix in to sweetened condensed milk and add more to taste.
- 8 cookies, crumbled flavour of your choice
- ¼ cup nuts of your choice crushed or chopped
- ½ cup Pista pistachio cream mix Pista with sweeten condensed milk and add ¼ cup crushed pistachios. Added to whipped cream until uniformly mixed.
Instructions
- Whip the cream to a soft mound stage, in a large bowl.
- Add flavouring of your choice to the sweetened condensed milk. Start by adding a small amount and test it for flavour. Add more flavouring to get the desired strength.
- Roughly crumble cookies.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk in to the center of the whipped cream (do not stir yet). Add cookie crumbles if using to the center of the whipped cream. Stir gently to mix through. You are trying not to deflate the whipped cream but create swirls of the flavouring and spread the cookies around.
- Freeze at least 10 hours in an airtight container. Remove from freezer about 20 minutes before serving.
Notes
Note 1: Always add your flavouring to the sweetened condensed milk so you can incorporate it evenly. (You do not want to overmix the whipped cream and deflate it.)
Note 2: Whipped cream and sweetened condensed milk are the base for your ice cream. For the least amount of flavouring you will want 1-2 tsps of vanilla extract. (Start by adding 1 teaspoon to the sweetened condensed milk and test for taste. Add more to taste.)
Note 3: Adding cookie crumbs or nuts is optional.
Note 4: If using cookie crumbles, flavoured syrup or peanut butter for flavouring reduce the sweetened condensed milk by about 2 oz (¼ cup ) to avoid overly sweet finished ice cream.
Note 5: For home made Dulce de Leche flavouring remove label from sweetened condensed milk can. Do not open the can. Submerge the can in a large pot ensuring there is at least 2" of water over the can at all times. Bring the water to a simmer. Simmer on stove 2 hours for lighter flavouring and 3 hours for darkened, stronger flavouring. Check the water level a couple of times during the simmering and add water as necessary to maintain at least 2" of water over the can at all times. You can lay the can on its side if you want to make it sit lower in your saucepan in order to leave an allowance for the 2" of water. Remove can with tongs when done. Allow to cool a 3-4 hours. (You don't want to add hot syrup to the whipped cream.) Remove the top when cooled. You may need to scoop the dulce de leche into a bowl and whisk a bit to give it a creamy texture. Add to whipped cream in the center all at once and stir in gently.
