I know...I know...it's cold, it's winter time...ice cream??? why not. We can eat ice cream any time, and since I just got an ice cream maker, I am making homemade ice cream since yesterday (my dear friend gave me on new year's..hhmmm I should give her another hug :D..)..
The good thing about making homemade ice cream is, we are using fresh ingredients, we dont use preservative also we can control the sugar in it..
Anyway, since I have mixed berry, I decided to make "very berry ice cream". I dont use half and half or cream, it just 1% milk, sweetened condensed milk and mixed berry
3 cups 1% milk
2 egg yolks
1 little can of sweetened condensed milk (or you can use just a half can if you don't like sweet)
2 tbs vanilla extract (if you like)
1.5 cups mixed berry finely chopped in a food processor, set a side
Combined both milk in a medium sausepan. Medium heat and cook until mixture almost boils, about 5-8 min, reduce heat to low
Meanwhile beat egg yolks and vanilla until light yellow and smooth about 1-2 minutes. Add 4 tbs hot milk mixture and stir until combined. Gradually add egg yolk to warm milk, stirring continuously to prevent the eggs from curdling. Cook over low heat until slightly thickened and mixture coats the back of a spoon, about 3-4 min. Cool completely. When its cool add mixed berry, stir until well combined. pour into freezer bowl, turn the machine and let mix until mixture thickens about 20-25 min
