Gemma's NEW Homemade Ice Cream Recipes & Frozen Dessert Destination - Gemma's Bigger Bolder Baking

Hi Bold Bakers! With summer just around the corner, I have created a one-stop frozen dessert destination on my website. There you will find over 50 flavors of my famous two-ingredient no-machine ice cream. Ice cream cakes, frozen sorbet, and even frozen yogurt. So even though I've made loads of flavors of ice cream, the most requested are plain vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. So that's what we're gonna make right now. We're gonna start by making our base, which is just two ingredients. Pour your heavy whipping cream into a bowl and whip up until soft peaks form. The cream you need to make this ice cream has to be a whipping cream with something that is at least 38% fat content. Also you have to buy it in a store, you can't make it at home. Once your peaks form, add in your cold condensed milk and continue whipping until nice and thick. So now if you can't buy condensed milk in your country, do not worry, you can easily make it at home and I've got a recipe on my website. All it is is milk and sugar. Now just note, you cannot make it using Truvia or Stevia. Once your ice cream base is done, I like to add in a little bit of vanilla extract for extra flavor. So once your ice cream base is nice and thick, it's ready to go. Now think of this like a blank canvas and the first flavor we're going to make is vanilla. So here I have a vanilla pod and all you want to do is just split it down the middle with a knife and then scrape out all of those lovely seeds. You want to get them all out. Now you can buy vanilla pods online or get them in specialty stores. Now into this we're going to add a little bit of vanilla extract just to give extra flavor and then fold these ingredients together. In my opinion it's really important to have those seeds in there to make it look like real vanilla ice cream. Okay lovely, so that's vanilla, really easy to make. Now the next we're going to make is one of my favorites, strawberry ice cream. So into my bowl I'm going to add in my base again. And then here I have some strawberry puree and you can use fresh strawberries or even frozen and puree them until they're nice and fine. Now we're just going to pour that in there and then fold it into your ice cream base. You can see now what I mean by the ice cream base being a blank canvas. You can add anything you want in there, any of your favorite flavors. Keep on folding, lovely. You can also give it a little taste. You want to add a little bit more strawberry in there, go right ahead. This tastes amazing. And that is our strawberry ice cream, another easy flavor. So now our next flavor is chocolate. Now this is the most requested flavor and it's super easy to make. In my bowl here I have a little bit of melted chocolate. Now I use bittersweet but you can use a milk chocolate if you like. Now what you want to do is melt this. Melt it over a bain-marie or even gently in the microwave. You want to make sure that it's nice and cooled before we add our ice cream base to it. Add your ice cream base directly on your chocolate and then with a spatula, swiftly fold it together. Now you want to do this step kind of quickly because you don't want the chocolate to set on the cream. You want it to mix all the way throughout. So just with your spatula, fold and fold and fold until it's all mixed through. Look at that. Gorgeous. I love how it changes color. Okay, let's have a little tasty taste. Oh, yum. Mmm. And that is chocolate. Super easy. You definitely will be able to make it yourself. So here I have a lovely little tub that you can freeze your ice cream in and I'm going to put a link on my website of where you can buy these. Now just go ahead and fill your tub all the way up to the top with your ice cream base. And then what you're going to do is pop it into the freezer for a minimum of six hours but it'll actually last in your freezer for up to six weeks. And you can just enjoy it whenever you want it. Before you know it, your ice cream will be frozen and you will be able to enjoy any of the amazing flavors you created. And make sure you go over to my Frozen Dessert Destination where you will be able to get loads of recipes and inspiration all summer long. If you haven't tried my homemade ice cream recipe yet, it is a must for this summer. Thank you so much for watching and I'll see you back here really soon for more Bigger Bolder Baking.
