A Little Blog

Most of the ice-cream recipes I can find on the net involves a ice-cream making machine. Which I don’t have; neither do I see them in stores here. Given the weather here, one would suppose ice-cream making ought to be popular. But then good ice-cream parlours or even the street hawker always isn’t too far away.

That said, one can make ice-cream without a ice-cream making machine. You just gotta churn it by hand.

I had tried making a tofu ice-cream which also involved cream and chocolate as ingredients, thought that one didn’t really turned out - I suspect there was more water than cream.

Recently I decided to make tiramisu but didn’t - the prospect of beating many egg-whites without a kitchen machine was too daunting. So the mascarpone sat in the fridge until I decided to make ice-cream with it.

Recipe:
One tub mascarpone (500g)
Half cup yogurt
(whatever else you want to flavour it with)

The idea is simply to mix everything up, put the mix into a freezable container, and freeze the mix. An hour or two after freezing, take the mix out and just stir it up, and freeze again. You want to “disturb” the mix and churn it to give it more texture.

Say after an hour, take the mix out again and churn again, and refreeze.

If you have too much ice crystals, your mix probably had too much water. That was the case with my banana ice-cream experiment where I used pulped banana.

I tried mixing in chunky peanut butter in another experiment. The result was certainly creamy, but also a little salty. In the same mix was three satchets of instant milo.

Now, if you feel like walking to the nearest ice-cream parlour instead of making the ice-cream yourself, I can perfectly understand :)
