Blender Ice Cream

• porții: 3½ cups
• timp activ: 15 minutes
• timp total: 6 hours

Ingrediente

2 cups heavy cream

1 cup sweetened condensed milk

¼ cup light corn syrup

¼ cup whole milk

2 Tbsp sugar

1 Tbsp vanilla extract

¼ tsp salt

Instrucțiuni

(The ice cream base for this method is made entirely in the blender.)

Process heavy cream until it reaches stiff peaks (stopping to scrape down the sides as needed)

Stir in all the other ingredients, and turn on the blender and process this mixture until well combined.

Transfer into a container and freeze until firm (6 hours).

Note

Results: While the blender makes easy work of bringing this ice cream together and dispersing ingredients evenly, it’s the multiple kinds of sugars (sweetened condensed milk, granulated sugar, and corn syrup) that maximize texture and stability. Most notably, corn syrup prevents ice crystal formation to keep this ice cream softer and smoother. This ice cream was velvety and creamy without any trace of iciness. It melted slower than other methods and felt the most like traditional ice cream.

Pros: Tastes and feels just like churned ice cream; the texture is perfectly smooth and creamy. The process is quick and easy, and the ice cream doesn’t melt as quickly as that of other methods.

Cons: The method requires a blender and works best with a variable speed blender (not one with just an on/off switch) to allow you to control how the mixture comes together.
