Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup caramelized white chocolate
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare your caramelized white chocolate in advance by slowly roasting white chocolate in the oven at 250°F (120°C), stirring every 10 minutes until it turns a deep golden caramel color. Allow to cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream and begin whipping using an electric mixer. Whip until stiff peaks form, creating a light and fluffy texture.
- Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract into the whipped cream, ensuring you maintain the cream's airy consistency.
- Roughly chop the caramelized white chocolate and fold it into the cream mixture along with the chocolate chips, distributing evenly.
- Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
- Cover the container tightly with plastic wrap or a lid to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Place in the freezer for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the ice cream to set completely.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: When caramelizing white chocolate, use a low and slow approach. Stir frequently to prevent burning and achieve that beautiful golden color.
- Whipping Technique: For the fluffiest texture, ensure your heavy cream is very cold before whipping. Use a chilled bowl and beaters for the best results.
- Folding Matters: When incorporating condensed milk and mix-ins, use a gentle folding motion to preserve the air in the whipped cream, which is crucial for a light texture.
- Freezing Hack: Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream before freezing to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Serving Perfection: Always let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping to ensure smooth, easy serving.
- Storage Tip: Store your homemade ice cream in an airtight container with a piece of plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface to maintain freshness and prevent freezer burn.
