INGREDIENTS

200 ml of whipping cream
250 g of 20% fat quark
8 g of vanilla sugar

METHOD

1. Allow the ingredients to reach room temperature:

   Before starting, it’s important to ensure that all the ingredients are at room temperature. This will help create a smooth and creamy consistency in the ice cream.

2. Whip the cream:

   Using a mixer, whip the whipping cream until it forms soft peaks. This will add a light and airy texture to the ice cream.

3. Add quark and vanilla sugar:

   Once the cream is whipped, add in the 20% fat quark and vanilla sugar. The quark will provide a tangy note and the vanilla sugar will infuse the ice cream with a delightful vanilla flavour.

4. Whip everything together:

   Using the mixer again, whip all the ingredients together until they are well combined, and the mixture has a smooth consistency.

5. Transfer the mixture into moulds:

   Pour the ice cream mixture into moulds of your choice. You can use individual serving cups or a larger container if desired. Make sure to leave some space at the top for expansion during freezing.

6. Freeze for at least 4 hours:

   Place the moulds in the freezer and let the ice cream set for a minimum of 4 hours. For best results, it is recommended to let it freeze overnight. This will allow the flavours to develop fully and create a firm, scoopable texture.

7. Optional: Garnish with honey:

   If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can garnish the vanilla ice cream with a drizzle of honey before serving. This will add a touch of natural sweetness and complement the creamy flavours perfectly.

With its velvety texture and rich vanilla flavour, this homemade vanilla ice cream is a dessert that will leave you craving for more. The simplicity of the recipe allows for customization, enabling you to experiment with different toppings or mix-ins to create your own signature creation. So, grab your mixer, gather the ingredients, and indulge in the delightful process of making your very own vanilla ice cream. Your taste buds will thank you!
