Note: In keeping with a longstanding Our Shiputzim tradition, the waning hours of a [very long!] fast day are dedicated to blogging about food.
During the summer months here in TRLEOOB*, seudah shlishit tends to involve homemade ice cream. (Please consider this post to be an invitation to drop by one Shabbat!)
Initially, our repertoire was limited to chocolate, vanilla, and coffee flavors, but over the years, we’ve added a few more – including:
More Homemade (Philadelphia Style) Ice Cream
Philadelphia style ice cream (as opposed to custard style ice cream) has no eggs. Like our original recipes, the next four were adapted from a combination of several different sources.
Milk Chocolate Ice Cream
- 1½ cups whipping cream (i.e. shamenet metukah, for the Hebraically-oriented amongst you)
- 3/5 cup whole milk (we use 3% milk)
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 TBSP cocoa
- 135 grams milk chocolate – coarsely chopped
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
White Chocolate Ice Cream
- 1½ cups whipping cream (i.e. shamenet metukah, for the Hebraically-oriented amongst you)
- 3/5 cup whole milk (we use 3% milk)
- ½ cup sugar
- 135 grams white chocolate – coarsely chopped
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
- 1½ cups whipping cream (i.e. shamenet metukah, for the Hebraically-oriented amongst you)
- ¾ cup milk (we use 3% milk)
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup chocolate sandwich cookies – crushed
Mint Chip Ice Cream
- 1½ cups whipping cream (i.e. shamenet metukah, for the Hebraically-oriented amongst you)
- ¾ cup milk (we use 3% milk)
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup thin chocolate-covered mints – chopped
Directions
Mix all the ingredients - except the cookies and the mints, when relevant - in a small pot over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and just beginning to form tiny bubbles. Remove from heat and refrigerate for a few hours or even overnight.
Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For the cookies-and-cream and the mint chip, add the cookies/mints when the ice cream is about 75% churned, and continue churning.
Freeze overnight before serving.
