Easy (40 second) egg free vanilla icecream

[Delightful Den]

If you added a few tablespoons of Kahlua it might keep it from freezing so solid and would certainly taste nice.

Yes the alcohol does work
I made the Nigella coffee icecream the other day which is really similar to this recipe and it is delish!!!

As you may gather am rather new to this forum, so thanks to all who have so promptly helped me wth their suggestions, another idea I found onn the net was to add about half teaspoon of guar gum to mixture, so I did to the icecream I made last night and some 10 hours later, it is far from rock hard, can't wait for the grandchildren to try it, thanks again folks,

I've sometimes put glugs of alcohol in my ice-cream but it just doesn't seem to work for me at all.  I usually resort to the old zap it in the microwave for a while, depending on how full the container is.

This house is an alcohol free zone so I've never tried the alcohol thing

[EricaRawlings]

I am not keen to include the alcohol, albeit that small amount - has anyone any other ideas of keeping icecream scoopable, so far I am happy with the guar gum effect, it doesn't appear to have any side effects

I only put vanilla in the kids icecream and I use vodka to make that (but it is only 2teaspoons in 1.3lt. I put it on the bench for 5-15 mins then serve

Meagan, I just added that coffee ice cream to paprika. Looks lovely.
Do you whip with butterfly in thermie?

[Brumington]

This was a hit today made with top and fill, cream, a pinch of salt and a tsp of gelatine dissolved in a tbsp of water (hoping that'll stop the rock hard effect). It's in the freezer for now but first taste out of the icecream machine was yummy.

Yes just insert butterfly add everything ( I bought a short black instant coffee powder from woolies) turn the dial slowly to speed 4 and whip - keep your eye on it 30-90secs depending on the cream. I put too much coffee in so check it with a taste test and add more if needed.

Oh thanks Meagan I can't wait to try it. I love coffee. Have you made it with chocolate?

[Brumington]

Just to let you know the gelatine has certainly helped in keeping the ice cream softer. I can easily scrape some out with a spoon straight from the freezer. A little too easily perhaps! 😊

[EricaRawlings]

Shall try the gelatine next time I make this delicious icecream, there is only one thing better than this forum and thats the Thermomix itself.  Used mine so much today that I am sure it is hoping for a day off tomorrow!!!!

only the recipe on here where you melt chocolate before adding cream and condensed milk

Love the look of this recipe, as the icing sugar is optional, and there are many comments re keeping it from freezing to hard, if included would it stop it help prevent that?
