An ‘Easy No Churn Ice Cream Recipe’ for those in the know and those who aren’t
Whether you have a lot of experience in the kitchen, medium-level or are just starting out, this no-churn ice cream recipe is a pleasant surprise to any dedicated lover of cooking (or baking). It seems too simple to be true, especially since ice cream itself is a bit of a fantasy treat that most people wouldn’t consider making at home themselves, naturally assuming it requires difficult or complicated equipment.
So, how many ingredients do we need to make simple ice cream?
No churn ice cream recipes can be found all over the internet and it’s refreshing to discover how absolutely simple the process is. With only 4 ingredients and 4 – 6 hours of freezing time, it’s cheap and as easily satisfying as any shop-bought version. In fact, you may even end up liking the homemade version better!
What is the difference between no-churn ice cream and regular ice cream?
The most obvious difference is that traditional ice cream requires an ice cream machine to churn the ingredients which include eggs and sugar. No churn ice cream only requires a blender or food processor to quickly mix sweetened condensed milk, double cream and fruit, chocolate or other sweet flavourings. No eggs or sugar are required and by adding a couple tablespoons of an alcohol-based liqueur, the consistency stays thick and creamy without turning to freezer ice.
How to make Passionfruit No Churn Ice Cream
A very simple method: Thick double cream is whipped into soft peaks then deliciously sweet and thick condensed milk is added and whipped further. For this recipe, the passionfruit flavour comes from a combination of passionfruit pulp and passionfruit liquor. To assemble simply spread the whipped cream in sections into a freezer container along with drizzles of passionfruit pulp to build beautiful layering. Freeze for 4 – 6 hours or overnight and then it’s ready to eat.
How to eat Passionfruit No Churn Ice Cream
If you have reserved some passionfruit pulp then this is the perfect topping to drizzle over a few scoops. A garnish or grated white chocolate would be lovely or simply serve it alongside warm and cold puddings, cakes, pancakes or crepes.
In Germany, ice cream is served with a traditional spiced fruit rum called Rumtopf. Fruits, sugar and spices are preserved in rum over a number of weeks and months to produce a delicious liquor which is then poured over ice cream. This passionfruit flavour here pairs very well with the rum and spice-soaked fruits. Rumtopf recipe here on flaevor.com
