Name of Recipe: Vanilla ice-cream
Number of People: Makes 1.5 litres
Ingredients:
160g castor sugar
85g water
140g powdered milk - skim or full cream
30g soft butter
500g milk - skim or full-cream
300g thickened cream
2 tsp vanilla extract or 1 tspn vanilla paste - you can add more if you wish.
Preparation:
Firstly make the condensed milk with the first 4 ingredients or use a can of condensed milk in lieu of.
Place the castor sugar and water in the TM bowl and stir for 2 mins/100o/speed 1.
Add the powdered milk and butter. Beat 2 mins/speed 8.
Leave the condensed milk in the TM bowl and add the milk, cream and vanilla extract.
Cook 7 mins/90o/speed 4.
Pour into a 1.5 litre container * and refrigerate until it has cooled sufficiently to churn or pop it in the freezer for a while to speed up this process. I often just leave it in the fridge overnight and churn it next morning.
Follow the directions of your ice-cream maker or if you don't have one, try the directions in the EDC for the creamy traditional ice-cream.
Delicious served with strawberry liqueur (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=11569.0)
Tips/Hints:
For banana ice-cream (pictured), mash 2-3 large bananas and stir through the mixture here *.
Remove the ice-cream 10-15 minutes before serving or zap it in the microwave to soften it (I store mine in a microwave friendly bowl)

KerrynN - This ice-cream was delicious! We just finished it last night. Will definitely make this one again. I may have gone a little overboard on the vanilla paste though, so I might reduce that a little next time.
Kimmyh - Finally made this and it is lovely. Not too sweet. No machine so blitz in tmx as per edc method. Very easy and makes a good amount.
Amy - I made this today for DB while he's down from university. A lovely ice cream, thanks Judy.
JD - I made the banana version of this (using a can of condensed milk though) for my SIL whilst visiting them this past week in Melbourne. We went to their holiday house in Ballarat for 3 nights and I made it there using DD's Cuisinart for churning but without a TMX, had to use the stove method. It made 1.5 litres and SIL ate most of it before we left. I used full cream products in SIL's banana ice-cream as that's what he likes but I use skim milk when I do it for myself.
troupie - This is our absolute favourite vanilla ice-cream recipe. I use the ice-cream churn (my very old Phillips) and find that it doesn't go too hard. I have even turned it into liquorice ice-cream with good results. Many thanks for posting the recipe for us all to enjoy.
-
Looks just the right dessert for hot weather Judy. ;D
-
I have gone through many tubs of this one CC ;) and you are right, this weather it's all I want for dessert.
-
Looks lovely Judy. The EDC icecream goes a little icy after a few days, does this one?
-
Looks good Judy.
-
Kim, this one doesn't go icy when churned in an ice-cream maker and it takes me at least a week to get through the whole tub on my own. I have even had 2 tubs going at once when I was experimenting with a double batch. The TM bowl held the double batch OK but the ice-cream machine would only take half of it so I did one lot using the freezer/Thermomix method. The ice-cream machine version was a lot smoother but I don't remember exactly how the TMX method turned out - I did eat it all though but remember preferring the ICM version.
-
Will try it judy even though I don't have an icm. Love anything with vanilla.
-
Definitely need icecream this weather. I had a lovely cherry icecream out today. It had all sorts of nuts folded through the icecream. Very tasty.
-
I was hoping to make this for tonight. Is it really necessary to have in the fridge overnight before churning in ice-cream machine?
-
I think it is just to get the mixture to a cold enough temperature so that churning is most effective. I have successfully placed my mixtures into the freezer -without letting them freeze- to let them cool quickly before churning. But I've not tried it with this particular recipe.
-
Yes Jamberie is right, you just need to get it cold enough to go into the ice-cream maker and I sometimes hurry it up by putting it in the freezer for a while if I want ice-cream that day. I generally work it though that I make the mixture later in the day and churn the next morning.
-
Chilling this now, before it goes in the ice-cream maker. the condensed milk tasted really nice ;D
-
I heartily agree! The condensed milk is delish! I was licking the lid, and scraping strawberries along it too! My ice-cream is in the freezer now, having churned, while I wait for the toffee apple pudding to finish cooking.
-
KerrynN - sounds a wonderful dessert! Making the ice cream tonight and will churn in the morning. I've somehow ended up with a lot of milk in the fridge so all ready to go! :)

My DS7 wants me to express how much he enjoyed the ice-cream like this:
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Oh thank you DS7 - that is obviously one happy chappy.
Thanks for the review Kerryn - you did yours completely in the TMX didn't you? Perhaps taste the ice-cream next time and add more vanilla paste if needed. I just use my home made vanilla extract as I find the paste too expensive for something I eat so much of.
-
Finally made this and it is lovely. Not too sweet. No machine so blitz in tmx as per edc method. Very easy and makes a good amount.
-
Thanks Kimmy, glad you enjoyed it. It isn't overly sweet - I forgot to mention that in my recipe. That's why I can eat so much of it :-))
-
Me too Judy ;D
-
I made this today for DB while he's down from university. A lovely ice cream, thanks Judy :-*
-
I could eat that right now Amy but it's a bit late isn't it? Glad it went down well.
-
According to DB, it's never too late for ice cream Judy ;D
-
I tend to agree with him, especially if it is hot.

It made 1.5 litres and SIL ate most of it before we left. He loves ice-cream, just check out the drawer in their freezer in Melbourne and you will see proof of that.
-
A very nice stash of ice cream Judy :D :D My Dad loved ice cream as much as your SIL ;D
-
Hope you enjoyed Melbourne Judy, we are finally having some nice weather.
-
I love the icecream stash. It is all lovely icecream too.

Thanks troupie, it's mine as well especially since I found it doesn't set as hard in the fridge freezer as it does in the stand alone freezers.
I used full cream products in SIL's banana ice-cream as that's what he likes but I use skim milk when I do it for myself.
Yes Wonder, I enjoyed my week with the kids - I haven't been over to see them for 3 years and didn't have time when we all went up to Chookies in August.
