A simple recipe for ice cream at home with a photo

- a pan with thick sides and bottom;
- culinary silicone spatula;
- a bowl;

Milk will not burn in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, which should be rinsed with cold water beforehand. It is better to take the dishes enameled, fireproof, made of clay or faience. After mixing 100 ml of milk with 60 g of sugar in it and adding a little vanilla, heat the mass properly, but do not bring the aromatic composition to a boil. The vanilla pod can be substituted for vanilla sugar, or you can put a pinch of vanillin in a saucepan.
A bowl is needed to grind 2 eggs until smooth using a whisk. If you beat the eggs until foam forms, it will interfere with the preparation of the ice cream. Pour the composition into a saucepan with warmed milk.
After setting the pot over low heat, it is important to wait until the mixture becomes slightly thick. It is better not to overheat the milk, otherwise the egg yolks will begin to curl. The heated formulation requires continuous stirring with a silicone cooking spatula to prevent the formation of a film on the milk surface. The further algorithm for making ice cream is as follows:
- Check the composition for readiness by running your finger along the silicone spatula with the remnants of the mass, which should not float back onto the left trace.
- If the mass is ready, remove the pan from the stove and cool it to room temperature.
- Whisk 200 ml of 33% cream cold until firm and mix with the milk mixture.
- Cool the mixture for 3 hours in the freezer, stirring the mixture every 30 minutes to obtain a smooth homogeneous composition without ice crystals.
- Transfer the milk mass to a silicone mold if it is already difficult to mix.
- Cover the container with a lid and leave in the freezer for 3-4 hours or overnight.
Pre-ice cream should stand at room temperature.

While heating the milk mixture over low heat, it is important to stir the composition constantly, and then remove from the stove when boiling. After mixing egg yolks (4 pcs) and sugar (50 g), beat the mass with a whisk until a creamy, light-colored composition appears. Then combine it with the milk-chocolate mixture, carefully pouring the yolks into the saucepan.
Put the resulting composition on medium heat, cook with continuous stirring, but do not boil. When the consistency of the mixture becomes enveloping, you can remove the container from the heat. The appearance of a crust will be avoided by aluminum foil, which should be used to cover the container.
Before placing the mass in the freezer compartment, it is important to wait until the composition has completely cooled. Then the finished mixture can be left in the refrigerator. It is convenient to freeze the cooled composition in a special device.
An ice cream maker is a device that makes ice cream preparation easier. If this unit is not at home, then when cooling, the mixture should be stirred every 30 minutes.
