CUSTARD POWDER ICE CREAM RECIPE–CUSTARD POWDER RECIPES

Custard powder ice cream without ice cream machine was in my try list for long time. Last week when I posted mango ice cream, Raksha told me to prepare vanilla ice cream for her. When I was thinking about it, I reminded about this ice cream recipe which i had bookmarked from jeyashri’s kitchen long back. First time I halved her recipe and tried. But I din’t get it right. There were ice crystals and the ice cream was not soft as I expected. I couldn’t find out the proper reason too. Then I e-mailed jey and asked her for improvements.

She is very sweet that she replied immediately and suggested me to add more custard powder as its quality may differ as per the brand. So this time I added little more custard powder & tried adding more fresh cream too. It came out very well. I was very happy with the result. We all loved it. More than us Raksha thoroughly enjoyed this ice cream and finished half the quantity. Do try this recipe for your kids. I am sure they will enjoy this summer. This recipe makes a good base for any ice cream. Just run ur imaginations, add nuts or chocolate powder, make different flavours with it. Enjoy !

HOW TO MAKE CUSTARD POWDER ICE CREAM – METHOD

Reserve 4 tbsp from 2 cups of milk. Mix custard powder without lumps and set aside.

Boil milk adding sugar and add the custard powder mixture. Boil for sometime till the milk thickens like dosa batter.

Switch off the flame and cool it completely. Now add fresh cream and mix well.

Whip it using a hand blender or mixie for few seconds till it becomes frothy.

Transfer it to an air tight box and freeze it for one hour.
After an hour, beat the mixture in mixie or blender for a minute. Again freeze it for 1 hour.
Repeat this procedure for 5 times. Totally you have to beat this ice cream for 5 times. This helps to avoid ice crystal formation.( Add chopped nuts at this stage if you are using)
Finally freeze it over night by covering the top of ice cream with a butter paper. You can also freeze it for 6 hours. Remove and keep outside for few minutes. Then scoop it.
