How to Make Ice Cream without Using Ice Cream Maker
Steps 1: Prepare Base
As we know most ice cream bases begin with milk, cream and sugar, but there are a few additional ingredients that will help stop the formation of large crystals for smooth ice cream. For that reason, ice cream bases with egg yolks work well. Start your base by mixing half and half amount of sugar and egg yolks in a medium sauce pan.
Step 2: Chilling Base
To quickly chill your ice cream base, place it in a bowl over a second bowl full of ice and whisk until it is chilled. When you’re ready begin freezing, pour the ice cream base into a large, shallow non-plastic or glass dish. Using a shallow dish or tray type dish will increases the surface area to freezing air in refrigerator and speeds the freezing process.
Step 3: Freezing and Scarping
Cover the dish and place it in the freezer for about 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, the edges will just begin forming ice and solidify. Scrape the frozen edges from the side of the dish with a spatula or whisk and stir vigorously into the rest of the liquid. Freeze again for 30 minutes, scrape the edges, stir and freeze again.
