Ice cream making

Finally tried my hands on ice cream making after much research, and today, the flavour tried is chocolate chip cookie mascarpone cheese ice cream. The choose of flavour was decided after combining a few recipes that i have read, and a few changes were made here and there.

Ingredients needed are:

250g of mascarpone cheese
250ml of whole milk
100g of light muscovado sugar (brown sugar was used instead here)
150g of chocolate chip cookies crumbled


Step 1: Put the mascarpone, milk and sugar in a bowl and whisk until it is think and smooth.

It turns out to be smooth...but not very thick, I think I will not buy NTUC full cream milk again...


Freeze the bowl of mascarpone, sugar and milk in the freezer first, and you can proceed with the crumbling of the chocolate chip cookies.

For people without an ice cream machine like me, here is what you will need to do. Freeze the product of mascarpone, milk and sugar in a shallow container. When almost solid, beat it well with a wire whisk or electric beater until smooth, then return to the freezer. Repeat the process twice more to break down the ice crystals.
Finally when that is done, fold the crumble cookies and continue churning until the mixture is completely frozen.

My experience with the freezer in my house is that I need to wait at least two hours before i can take it out and whisk it in it's semi-solid form. This timing may differ with different freezer conditions.

The joy of tasting home made ice cream =)
