Equipment

  • Ice Cream Maker
  • Refrigerator

Materials

  • 500 ml Condensed Milk
  • 0.5 cup Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla essence
  • 0.5 cup Cream
  • 0.5 cup Dry fruits
  • 2 piece Egg

Instructions

  • Before starting to make ice cream, focus on getting all the ingredients ready. It will save you a lot of time and hassle. The most important thing is to keep the pre-freezer bowl in the freezer overnight. There should be no liquid splashing and moisture in the mixture. Regular users and professionals keep the bowl in the freezer for immediate cooking.
  • Check the ingredients like milk, sugar, cream, and flavoring substances before starting. All the ingredients should be freezing to maintain the machine's core temperature. Warm ingredients can decrease the solid consistency and makes it lumpy during churning. If the bowl gets warm, your ice cream will turn into a creamy liquid rather than an ice-cold dessert. It is your responsibility to make sure that all the ingredients freeze. Put the ingredients in a bowl along with lots of ice to keep the temperature low. Only bring the ingredients out of the freezer when putting it in the machine.

Use pure milk, fresh eggs, fresh fruits, nuts seeds, chocolates, and strawberries. Choose the ingredients according to your liking, and don't be a miser when putting in the ingredients. After adding and mixing, leave the bowl in the refrigerator to be very chilled. It's preferable if you cool it down overnight.

Adding too much alcohol or nuts can change the taste and flavor into a bad one. Add sweetener before adding in the cream and make it dissolve. Fruits should not increase the liquidity and consistency of the base as well. 
  • Always add your ice cream base to the bowl after you start the ice cream maker. If you put the ingredients in a steady machine, the sides will hold onto the mixture and ruin both the cream and the machine.
