1. Creamy ice cream
This is the same classic ice cream according to GOST, but which can be made at home!
Ingredients: 400 ml of milk, 300 ml of 33% cream, 40 g of milk powder, 120 g of sugar, 14 g of corn starch, vanillin.
How to do: Immediately mix the starch thoroughly in 50 ml of milk until dissolved and set aside. Combine all dry ingredients, pour in about a quarter of the milk and stir. Add remaining milk and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
Stir the starch again, add it to the mixture, reduce the heat and stand for another 2-3 minutes on the stove to thicken the mass. Pass it through a sieve and put it to cool in a bowl of ice. First, stir the workpiece constantly so that it does not become covered with a milk film. Put it in the freezer after 5 minutes.
During this time, beat the cream in a large bowl with a mixer and then pour in the cooled milk mixture. Put the ice cream back in the freezer and stir it every 30-40 minutes for the first 3-4 hours. Leave the ice cream there for another 3 hours alone - and it's done!
