Homemade Chunky Ice Cream Recipe
Ingredients:
- 500 ml heavy whipping cream
- 250 ml whole milk
- 150 g sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 g dark or milk chocolate chunks (or chocolate chips)
- 100 g crushed cookies (vanilla or chocolate cookies work great)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Base:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and vanilla sugar (if using).
- Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the mixture until it becomes thick and creamy. Be careful not to over-whip, as it can turn into butter.
- Add the Mix-Ins:
- Gently fold in the chocolate chunks and crushed cookies into the creamy mixture. Make sure they are evenly distributed.
- Freeze:
- Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan or an airtight container.
- Smooth the top with a spatula and cover it with plastic wrap or a lid.
- Place the container in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
- Serve:
- Once the ice cream is fully set, scoop it into bowls or cones.
- For an extra touch, you can top it with additional chocolate chunks or cookie crumbs.
Tips for Success:
- Chill Your Tools: For best results, chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge before whipping the cream.
- Customize: Feel free to swap out the chocolate and cookies for other mix-ins like nuts, caramel pieces, or fruit.
- Soften Before Serving: If the ice cream is too hard after freezing, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.
