However old we get, those childhood images of sunshine and ice cream never seem to fade. But one thing has definitely changed. Instead of standing in line for ages, coins in your hot little hand, you can now make your own ice cream at home instead. With a CARRERA electric whisk, it’s really easy.
Now it’s so easy to make your own ice cream with a hand whisk, everyone can make their own favorite flavors. With natural ingredients becoming more important it’s hardly surprising ice cream makers are so popular. But do you really need an expensive machine just to make ice cream? Here’s how to whip up a tasty treat in no time using a normal hand blender and the whisk attachments.
Making your own ice cream isn’t rocket science. The basic recipe is simple and uses the ingredients you find in vanilla ice cream. After that, you can tweak it any way you want.
It’s really easy to vary the taste of the basic mixture. All you do is fold in the ingredients you want – for example spices, mate tea or chai, syrup, liquid chocolate, cocoa or pureed fruit.
Want more? Try adding chopped nuts or pieces of chocolate or dates to your DIY ice cream 2.0 too. Just make sure you only fold them in at the end. If you do it too soon, the ice cream might not freeze consistently. You can also add semi-liquid ingredients like pureed fruit or syrup just before you serve your ice cream. Drizzles and patterns always make a good impression.
Tip: When using pureed fruit, always add a little sugar to prevent ice crystals from forming.
