This is a simple homemade ice cream recipe for people who don't have
an ice cream maker. Using just a bowl and a small hand blender, you
can still achieve a thick, fluffy texture similar to traditional churned
ice cream. The process works by periodically blending the mixture while
it freezes, which keeps ice crystals small and creates a smoother
result.
Ingredients:
4 egg yolks
1 pint heavy cream (preferably A2 milk cream)
1-2 teaspoons or tablespoons honey
1-2 teaspoons or tablespoons maple syrup
1 pinch salt flakes
@Bitcoin Beans 100% cacao
Cacao nibs
Optional - Oshi #hodlbutter of course :)
Equipment:
Small mixing bowl
Hand blender
Freezer
Plastic wrap or towel for covering the bowl
Instructions:
1. Separate the egg yolks and place them in a small mixing bowl.
2. Pour in the pint of heavy cream. The cream is key for creating a
thick and fluffy ice cream texture.
3. Add honey and maple syrup (about 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon each,
depending on sweetness).
4. Add a small pinch of salt flakes.
5. Blend the mixture with a hand blender for about 5 minutes, until
it thickens.
6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a towel and place it in the
freezer for about 1 hour.
7. Remove from the freezer and blend again for 1-2 minutes.
8. Return to the freezer for another 1-2 hours.
9. Repeat the freeze-and-blend cycle 1-2 more times to break up
ice crystals and create a smoother texture.
10. During the final blend, mix in the Bitcoin Beans 100% cacao and
cacao nibs to taste.
11. Freeze until firm.
Serving:
If frozen overnight, move the bowl to the refrigerator or counter for
a short time before serving so it softens slightly and scoops easily.
Enjoy!
