15-Minute Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe

Indulging in creamy, homemade vanilla ice cream doesn’t have to be a lengthy affair. With just a few simple ingredients and a bit of technique, you can whip up a delightful treat in a mere quarter of an hour.

Ingredients:

• 300ml double cream
• 200ml full-fat milk
• 150g granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt

Method:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the double cream and full-fat milk. Whisk gently until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.

2. Add the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Continue to whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved, and the mixture becomes slightly frothy.

3. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. After 5 minutes, remove it and stir vigorously with a fork to break up any ice crystals. Return it to the freezer.

4. Repeat this stirring process every 5 minutes for a total of about 15 minutes. By the end, you’ll have a silky, soft-serve consistency.

5. For a firmer texture, simply pop it in the freezer for a further 30 minutes before serving.

Scoop into bowls, garnish with your favourite toppings, and enjoy your homemade vanilla ice cream. It’s a delightful treat, ready in the time it takes to brew a cup of tea!

Classic Vanilla Buttercream Frosting is a delightful treat that elevates any cake or cupcake to new heights. With its creamy texture and rich flavour, this frosting is a staple in British baking.

To make this indulgent frosting, you'll need unsalted butter, which should be at room temperature to ensure perfect blending.
