Vanilla Ice Cream - How to make Vanilla Ice Cream @ Home - Ice Cream without Ice Cream Maker

IcE CrEAm... without an ice-cream maker? Whoa... thank God I found this recipe. This was the surprise treat for VJ's 2012 bday. I wanted to bake him a heart cake, but he would smell the baked flavor and there would be no surprise. So I had dropped the idea of cake and this Ice-Cream recipe came into my mind. Thankfully, I had the condensed milk and whip cream handy. So silently I made this while he was playing with Prajju and watching some movie :P

Ingredients

Sweetened Condensed Milk - 1 can (14 oz)
Whip Cream - 600 ml
Vanilla extract - 2 tsp
Chopped nuts of your choice and chocolate chips/shavings

Method

1. Add the whip cream in a large bowl. Beat on high using a hand mixer until it turns firm. If you don't have a hand mixer use a whisk and whisk well.
2. Add in the condensed milk and vanilla extract and beat for few more minutes.
3. Now, add the chopped nuts and the chocolate chips and give it a good stir. If you are using chocolate shavings, sprinkle them at the time of serving or only when you are done with the stirring process.
4. Transfer to a freezer safe bowl and freeze until done preferably whole night.

** If you don't have a hand mixture and not able to get a firm mixture of all the ingredients, do not worry. Whisk them all together as much as possible and transfer to freezer safe bowl. Freeze it. Take them out every 30 mins and mix them evenly. Do this 3-4 times and then allow to set down completely.
