The Best Ice-cream Ever!

I am definitely an ice-cream fiend. I love it. One of my favourite parts of having kids is that when they have an ice-cream I get to have one too šŸ™‚

As you would imagine, I love making ice-cream in the Bellini and this super simple recipe for ice-cream is just delicious and doesn’t require an ice-cream maker. Full credit to Helen Brown, one of the members of the Bellini Addicts Facebook Group, who shared it on a thread a while ago. I’m not sure where she got it from originally, but it’s brilliant, so enjoy!

Tips

  • An ice bath cools the ice-cream more rapidly than putting it in the freezer, helping to prevent icy bits.
  • The other tip is to put cling wrap over the top of the ice-cream in the container so it touches the ice-cream. This prevents condensation.
  • You can add flavour if desired after cooling in the ice bath, before freezing or when you blend for the second time.
  • Flavours can be anything you like, from caramel sauce, to strawberries, to honeycomb chips, go nuts and put in whatever floats your boat.
