    Quick Vanilla Ice Cream

    January 19, 2018

    Once I started making ice cream this way, I stopped bothering with the egg-laden version. This is 3 minutes work, 30 minutes in your ice cream maker, and then (at least) an hour in the freezer. Ingredients 500 ml. heavy cream (or dairy-free/Pareve substitute) 300 ml. (1¼ cups) milk (or dairy-free/Pareve substitute such as soy milk/rice milk/almond milk) 6-8 Tbsp. sugar (if using dairy-free cream substitute, reduce to 4 Tbsp., as it is significantly sweeter) 1 vanilla bean, scraped for seeds Preparation Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl.

    “Cheat” Ice Cream in a variety of Flavors

    January 20, 2016

    Once I started making ice cream this way, I stopped bothering with the egg-laden version. This is 3 minutes work, 30 minutes in your ice cream maker, and then (at least) an hour in the freezer. You can make it in any flavor you feel like – I have given a few of my favorite options here. As I am sensitive to cow’s-milk, I have also noted the dairy-free/Pareve version, which is also (in this case) the vegan version. I hope you enjoy! Ingredients 500 ml. heavy cream (or dairy-free/Pareve substitute) 300 ml. (1¼ cups) milk (or dairy-free/Pareve substitute such as soy milk/rice milk/almond milk) 6-8 Tbsp. sugar (if using…
