Description:
Indulge in the creamy sweetness of homemade vanilla ice cream with this easy-to-follow recipe. Made with Sweet’n Low for a guilt-free treat that’s perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 packet of unflavored gelatin
- 1/2 cup skim milk
- 1/2 packet of Sweet ‘n Low
- Pinch of salt
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
-
Prepare Your Freezer:
- Turn the temperature control of your refrigerator to the coldest setting to ensure proper freezing.
-
Soften Gelatin:
- In a small bowl, soften the gelatin by sprinkling it over 2 tablespoons of milk. Let it sit for a few minutes until it becomes spongy.
-
Scald Milk:
- In a double boiler, scald the remaining milk. Once scalded, stir in the Sweet’N Low and salt until dissolved.
-
Cook the Milk Mixture:
- Cook the milk mixture for 2 minutes, stirring often. Then, slowly pour it into the beaten egg yolk, stirring continuously to prevent scrambling.
-
Thicken the Mixture:
- Return the mixture to the double boiler and cook over hot (but not boiling) water for an additional 2 minutes or until it coats the back of a spoon.
-
Incorporate Gelatin and Vanilla:
- Add the softened gelatin and vanilla extract to the mixture, stirring until fully dissolved and well combined.
-
Transfer to Freezing Tray:
- Pour the mixture into a freezing tray or shallow container. Place it in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes or until it’s partially firm.
-
Beat the Mixture:
- Once partially firm, transfer the mixture to a chilled bowl. Using an electric mixer or egg beater, beat the mixture until it’s creamy and free from any lumps.
-
Fold in Egg White:
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg white until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the stiffly beaten egg white into the creamy mixture until fully incorporated.
-
Freeze Again:
- Return the mixture to the freezing tray and freeze until it’s just firm. This may take several hours or overnight depending on your freezer’s temperature.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the ice cream is firm, scoop it into bowls or cones, and serve it as a delightful dessert or snack. 🍨
-
Reset Temperature Control:
- Don’t forget to reset the temperature control of your refrigerator once you’ve finished enjoying your delicious homemade ice cream.
