2 homemade ice cream recipes

One of the easiest ways to make homemade ice cream is simply to take advantage of the fruit juice that we have prepared and take it to the freezer.

Homemade strawberry ice cream recipe

Strawberry ice cream is one of everyone’s favorite, to prepare it you need the following ingredients:

• 200 grams of strawberries.
• 170 grams condensed milk.
• 2 natural or strawberry yogurts (best of the Greek type).

Preparation

1. Clean and chop the strawberries. Place them in the blender glass along with the yogurt. 
2. The next step will be to beat the yogurt and strawberry mixture until no lumps are visible.
3. You can strain the mixture to separate the seeds from the ice cream. But if your children do not mind finding them in their spoon, you do not need to use the strainer, in this way, the result will be more natural.
4. Then you must add the condensed milk, little by little.
5. Everything is beaten again so that it is well integrated.
6. At the end, you can put a layer of clear plastic wrap on top of the mixture. It is important that it sticks closely to the liquid obtained after grinding so that when it freezes, ice crystals do not form on top.
7. Then you should put the bowl in the freezer for 2 or 3 hours.
8. Once that time has elapsed, beat the mixture again with the mixer. This process must be repeated about three times. When 6 hours have passed, the process is complete.
9. Serve with a little syrup or topping of your choice.

One more tip for the preparation of homemade ice cream recipes is the following: To serve the ice cream in the form of balls, it is convenient that the spoon with which you are going to make the ball is wet with hot water, each time you introduce it into the recipient. This will make it easier for the ice cream to conform to the shape you want to achieve.
