Vanilla Ice Cream
A true Italian «gelato», as my mother used to make it. Quick and easy, with no need for an ice-cream maker.
Ingredients
| 4 | eggs size large | ||
| 1 cup | whipping cream 35% | 250 mL | |
| 1 cup | icing/confectioners' sugar | 150 g | |
| 1/4 cup | milk, partly skimmed, 2% | 65 mL | |
| 1/2 tsp | vanilla extract | 2.5 mL |
Before you start
A food processor or a mixer will make things easier for this recipe.
Method
- Put a metal or glass bowl into the freezer so that it will be cold when filling it with the cream mixture.
- Separate the egg whites and yolks : Put the yolks in one bowl and the egg whites in another bowl. Whisk the whites using a mixer until stiff peaks are formed. Set aside.
- Pour the cream in a third bowl, then using the electric mixer, whip the cream until stiff peaks are formed. Set aside.
- Add the sugar to the yolks, then beat well using the mixer until the mixture is pale and fluffy, about 2 min. Pour in the milk and vanilla. Incorporate the egg whites and the whipped cream into the mixture, blending gently with a spatula. Transfer the mixture to the prepared bowl, cover and put it in the freezer.
- After about 1 h, take the bowl out of the freezer, stir the mixture using a whisk, then return the bowl to the freezer. Repeat the same stirring operation after one additional hour in the freezer. It normally takes 3-4 hours until the ice cream is ready.
Remarks
This ice cream will keep up to 1 month in the freezer.

2013-05-13T21:32:22+00:00 may 13, 2013I think I will use this recipe for vanilla ice cream from now on, and never buy it again. It's very very easy WITH A STAND MIXER. I imagine it would be much more time consuming otherwise. It was yummy. :)

2010-08-30T15:21:22+00:00 august 30, 2010 | I would make this recipe againSo this is how you make ice cream...so easy! It was awsome! I never want store bought fake "creamy dessert" again. This was cheap, homemade and delicious. I'm not crazy about the raw eggs but I suppose that's how it's done and I have to live with it. I tried it again with a little less sugar and also with blueberry purée, yum!
