How to make homemade cream ice cream?
The recipe for homemade cream ice cream is very simple and, above all, short. This is a huge difference between homemade and store-bought ice cream. It is worth appreciating the fact that when making this delicious dessert yourself, you avoid many artificial additives that have no beneficial effect on human health.

What do you need to make classic cream ice cream?

• 500 ml of 30% or 36% cream
• 150 g of sugar
• 5 medium-sized chicken egg yolks
• Optionally, a teaspoon of vanilla extract

Place the cream in a saucepan and heat to 80 degrees Celsius - if you don't have a kitchen thermometer, you have to make sure it doesn't boil. Once it reaches the desired temperature, add the vanilla extract if using and mix.

In the bowl of a food processor planetary Zelmer, place the yolks with the sugar and use the whisk attachment to mix until fluffy. While constantly mixing the mixture, gradually start adding the hot cream. Remember to do it slowly. If you pour the warm liquid into the yolks too quickly, they may burn and instead of ice cream, you will end up with sweet scrambled eggs. And we don't want that!

Once both masses are combined, pour everything into a saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring constantly. The mass should start to thicken. To know if it has thickened enough, do a simple test: check if the mixture sticks to the back of the spoon and does not run off it. If so, you are ready to proceed to the next step.

While constantly stirring, transfer the pot to a bain-marie and cool the ice cream mixture to room temperature. You can use a kitchen thermometer or do it "by eye".

Place the cooled cream mass in the ice cream maker's bowl, prepared according to the device's instructions. Mix it for 30-40 minutes, until you get a fluffy ice cream mass. After this time, you can serve the ice cream immediately or place it in a container and put it in the freezer to eat later.

And that's it! The simplest homemade ice cream made with a planetary mixer is ready in about an hour. And that's without buying another appliance that will only take up space in your kitchen.

How to make homemade pistachio ice cream?
Do you dream of ice cream with a different flavor, such as pistachio? In that case, you can add unsalted, chopped pistachios and pistachio paste to the above mass. Do this at the stage of mixing the ingredients, before heating the mass in the pot for the second time. In the same way, you can create nut, sesame or other grain ice cream.

How to make homemade strawberry ice cream?
Do you prefer fruit ice cream? It's also very simple! Just add strawberries to the cream mass. Cut the fruit into small cubes. It's worth keeping some to add whole, and the rest can be blended in a blender to obtain a smooth mousse. If the fruit has released a lot of water and you're afraid that the mixture will be too liquid, you can also use mascarpone cheese. As you can see, making homemade ice cream with a planetary food processor attachment for making frozen desserts is very simple. In this way, you can make many different flavors of ice cream, experimenting and testing the possibilities yourself. Thanks to this, you will definitely be able to prepare your dream type of dessert that you and your whole family will love!
