Tips & Tricks

  1. For a smoother texture, churn the ice cream mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions before freezing.

  2. If you don't have whipping cream powder, you can use heavy cream. Adjust the amount of condensed milk to taste, depending on your preferred level of sweetness.

  3. Add your favorite toppings like chocolate sauce, sprinkles, or chopped nuts for an extra touch.

FAQS

  1. Can I use a different type of milk?

    While condensed milk is crucial for sweetness and texture, you can experiment with different types of cream, like heavy cream, for a richer flavor. However, the results may vary slightly.

  2. How long does the ice cream last in the freezer?

    Homemade ice cream is best consumed within 1-2 weeks to maintain its optimal texture and flavor. Store it in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.

  3. Can I add other flavorings?

    Absolutely! Feel free to add extracts like almond or peppermint, or mix in fruits, chocolate chips, or cookies for a customized flavor experience.

  4. How to prevent ice crystals from forming?

    Make sure to freeze the ice cream in a container that seals tightly and avoid temperature fluctuations in your freezer. Adding a tablespoon of vodka can also help minimize ice crystal formation.

  5. Can I use a hand mixer instead of a stand mixer?

    Yes, a hand mixer works perfectly fine for whipping the cream. Just ensure the mixture reaches stiff peaks before adding the other ingredients.
