I got a stand mixer babyyyy!!! I was so excited. I did research, borrowed my neighbour’s KitchenAid and spoke with my Mum about hers. This is a decision that has been years in the making, and I finally did it! I ended up with a Sunbeam Master One and I am so happy! Yes it can be loud on the highest setting, but oh well. I don’t use that setting too often.
Anyway, this post is about icecream (here is the recipe). I wanted to use condensed milk to create a 2 ingredient icecream where I would whip the condensed milk and then add chopped frozen strawberries. So I got all excited and looked into it and found noone had seemed to try it before and document it! Bingo! My market. The only advice I could really find was to refrigerate the condensed milk first, so I did that. Got out my stand mixer, put on the whisk attachment and pressed go.
I watched as it spun and spun and…nothing really happened.
These are my before/after images. Appologies for the strange lighting, but you can still tell that the milk has lightened slightly and has bubbles in it. I think it looks like pancake mix!
What I was hoping for was a light fluffy texture, and what I got was, well, condensed milk.
Not to waste good igredients (I also just wanted icecream!), I went to the shops and grabbed some whipping cream. Whipped it up real good and folded the condensed milk into the cream. Just add the thawed strawberries and viola! It was ready to set (stuff churning it, I just threw it in the freezer).
After a couple of hours I had to try it. This is the first scoop.
How good does that look! It came out super rich thanks to the condensed milk, but still creamy and yum.
Next time, I think I’ll stick to cream and sugar 🙂
Happy Baking!
