Ice cream without alcohol: how to do it
Lucky for those who have an ice cream maker, because with it gourmets and those with a sweet tooth can make irresistible ice cream without alcohol with very little effort!
The simple basic recipe for ice cream without alcohol
For a heavenly creamy basic recipe that you can adapt as you like, you will need (for four portions):
The ingredients:
- 250 millilitres each of cream and milk
- 4 egg yolks (medium-sized eggs)
- 90 grams of sugar (can alternatively be replaced with the same amount of xylitol)
Preparation:
Bring the milk and cream to the boil and then leave to cool. Mix the egg yolks and sugar and add to the milk-cream mixture, which should not be too warm (otherwise the egg yolks will curdle!). Now place the bowl on a hot water bath, making sure that the bowl does not touch the hot water. Now beat the mixture until creamy: this takes a few minutes and works best with a flat whisk. Then cool everything in an ice-cold water bath and put it in the fridge for a good half hour.
Now add pureed fruit to taste: strawberries, raspberries or even bananas, for example. There are virtually no limits to your imagination. Tip: To prevent banana ice cream from tasting too sweet, use less sugar and stir the juice of half a lemon into the mixture! Now everything can go into the ice cream maker and you've made your own tempting ice cream without alcohol !
