Homemade vanilla ice cream with a mix of oreo crust and chocolate button

Who doesn't love ice cream right?? We all love it. For some it might not be a constant craving but at some point, we will crave for it especially when the weather is hot. But, that does not mean we don't eat ice cream during winter. During summer, you get to see a few ice cream stand at the park or beaches but it will close down during winter. Over here, they also have ice cream seller in a van. That remind me of the good old day when I used to run to the door when I heard the ice cream seller's bell when he pass through my neighborhood. But since I don't actually come from a rich family, I don't really get to buy it as much as I want. Tengok lalu pun jadi la. Huuhuh..sedih nyer bile terkenang zaman kecik2 dulu.

Apa-apa pun hari ni tak nak sedih2. I want to share with you guys how to make your own ice cream so you can be your own master and make whatever flavor you want and mix anything you can think off in your ice cream. The most basic ice cream flavor is of course vanilla ice cream. So, today I will do vanilla ice cream and here how it goes. 

First you take 3 eggs but only one egg you need the whole thing, the other 2, just the yolks. Put it together in a bowl then add sugar, salt and 1 vanilla pod (vanilla essence for those who can't seem to find a vanilla pod). Ok..here's the thing, you place the bowl on a boiler water. Pernah buat kek steam tak? Guna the steamer? So, lebih kurang cam tu la. Place the bowl on top of the boiler water and stir once a while so that the egg mix properly with the sugar. So, the egg won't get clumpy.

In another bowl, whipped the cream and add vanilla essence. Whipped it continuously until it is stiff.
Using a bigger bowl (yang boleh fit the bowl with the custard mixture tadi), fill it with ice cubes. Ok, this recipe does not use any ice cream maker so kenak la carik alternative. For those who has ice cream maker, well, I guess it will make the work easier. Tapi for those yang takder, no worry, you can still do ice cream. Just prepare a bowl with ice cube sebelum you mix the whipped cream and custard mixture. Bila dah ader, you mix the whipped cream into the bowl container the custard mixture and fold it using a spatula until all is perfectly blend together.
 Scrap all the whipped cream from the bowl and mix it with the custard mixture. So, it look like this..
Before you place the whole ice cream mixture in a container, you can add anything you want to make it your own ice cream. So, I decided to add this..
Letak some oreo crust and chocolate button..
Mix it together and pour it into a glass or plastic container. Then cover the top with a string wrap so that the skin doesn't form.

PLace it in a freezer for 6 hours or overnight like I did and you can enjoy your very own ice cream anything you want to. 
Yummeh...next I will share with you my Dulce De Leche Ice Cream tapi kena habiskan ice cream ni dulu. Hehhe..here's the recipe;

Ingredients:

  • 1 egg
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup of sugars

Try it for yourself!
