NO-CHURN ICE CREAM



No-Churn Ice Cream image

Made without an ice cream maker, this custard-base ice cream is frozen solid in a loaf pan, then churned until creamy in a food processor or blender. It's best scooped straight from the machine, when it has the satiny-chewy texture of soft serve. If you do want to make it ahead, you can return it to the freezer for up to a week, then let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving.

Time 40m

Yield 1 1/2 pints

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 large egg yolks
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
1/2 cup/79 milliliters light corn syrup (or substitute 1/3 cup agave or honey)
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
3 cups/710 milliliters heavy cream
3 ounces/85 grams cream cheese, cubed, at room temperature
1/3 cup/79 milliliters whole milk
Your flavoring of choice (see note)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together yolks, sugar, corn syrup, and salt until smooth.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring cream to a simmer.
  • Whisking yolks constantly, slowly pour half the hot cream into the egg mixture. Scrape custard back into saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until custard is thicken enough to coat the back of a spoon (180 degrees on an instant-read or candy thermometer). Do not let mixture come to a simmer or it could curdle. Remove from heat, whisk in cream cheese, then strain into a heatproof bowl.
  • Nestle bowl in a larger bowl filled with ice water. Using a hand mixer or immersion blender, whip custard until thick and cold, about 5 minutes. Spoon mixture into a loaf pan or a gallon-sized resealable plastic freezer bag. Freeze at least 3 hours or overnight (or up to 1 week).
  • If you used a pan, fill your sink with hot water and set pan in the water to loosen the ice cream, or cut away the plastic bag from ice cream. Using a big knife, cut chunk of ice cream into 2-inch cubes and put them in a food processor or blender. Pulse cubes with milk until the ice cream is smooth and has the consistency of soft serve. Serve immediately, or return to container and freeze for up to 1 week.

Categories     dessert

Time 8h5m

Yield 5 cups of each flavor

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 cup sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup chocolate hazelnut spread, such as Nutella
2 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pinch flaky sea salt
1/2 cup milk or dark chocolate chunks
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup chia seeds
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pinch flaky sea salt
2 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 to 2 tablespoons dried lavender, depending on your taste
5 ripe peaches, roughly chopped
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons butter, cut into cubes
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For the salted chocolate-hazelnut chip: Add the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate hazelnut spread to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or use a hand-held electric mixer) and whip until smooth and combined. Add the heavy cream, vanilla and salt. Whip until stiff peaks form. Stir in the chocolate chunks. Spoon the ice cream into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 6 hours or overnight.
  • For the blueberry chia jam: Combine the blueberries, honey and lemon juice in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook, mashing the berries with a fork occasionally, until the blueberries burst, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the chia seeds and reduce the heat, then simmer until thick, 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, then stir in 1/3- to 1/2-cup water, as needed to thin the jam slightly. Let cool, at least 15 minutes.
  • Add the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or use a hand-held electric mixer). Whip until stiff peaks form. Using a spatula, swirl in the blueberry jam, leaving white streaks to create a swirled blueberry ice cream. Spoon the ice cream into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 6 hours or overnight.
  • For the peach honey lavender: Add 1/2 cup of the cream to a small saucepot and bring to a low boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the lavender. Cover and steep 10 minutes, then strain through a fine-mesh strainer; discard the lavender. Transfer to the fridge to cool completely, at least 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the peaches, honey and butter and toss well to combine. Bake until the peaches have caramelized, 30 to 35 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Add the cooled lavender cream, the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla and the remaining 1 3/4 cups heavy cream to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or use a hand-held electric mixer). Whip until stiff peaks form. Gently stir in the peaches. Spoon the ice cream into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 4 hours or overnight.

VANILLA-HONEY SOFT SERVE ICE CREAM



Vanilla-Honey Soft Serve Ice Cream image

You don't need an ice cream maker for rich, custardy ice cream. With the help of an electric mixer and food processor, you can create ice cream with the texture of soft serve. One of the keys to a silky texture without the ice crystals that plague other no-churn ice cream recipes is using cream cheese (a trick picked up from Jeni Britton Bauer of Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams). This helps hold the custard's emulsification even during freezing. This ice cream is best served right out of the food processor or blender, but if you want to make it entirely ahead, take it out of the freezer 20 minutes before serving. If you would like to make this recipe with an ice cream maker, freeze the custard according to manufacturer's directions after cooling it completely.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use raw honey for a more pronounced flavor and sea salt for a delicate briny touch.
  • Chill the mixing bowl and beaters: This helps the ice cream base thicken faster and results in a smoother texture.
  • Beat the cream until stiff peaks form: This ensures the ice cream has a light and airy texture.
  • Fold in the honey and salt gently: Overmixing can deflate the ice cream and make it icy.
  • Freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours: This allows the flavors to meld and the ice cream to firm up.
  • Serve the ice cream immediately or store it in the freezer for up to 2 weeks: For the best flavor, let the ice cream soften slightly before serving.

Conclusion:

This sea salt honey no-churn ice cream is a delightful treat that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its creamy texture, delicate sweetness, and subtle saltiness, this ice cream is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
