Neutral Ice Cream Base (1 Litre)

Ingredients

• 1.25 cupsWhipping cream
• 1.25 cupsMilk
• 1/4 cupSugar
• 1/4 cupMilk powder
• 1/2 tbspCornflour
• 1/4 cupMilkmaid (condensed milk)
• 2 tbspLiquid glucose
• a pinchSalt

Method

1. 1

   In a heavy pan, combine milk, sugar, milk powder, cornflour, liquid glucose and a pinch of salt.

2. 2

   Bring to a low boil, stirring continuously so the cornflour doesn't lump. Cook 4 minutes until slightly thickened.

3. 3

   Cool completely. Stir in milkmaid.

4. 4

   In a separate cold bowl, whip the cream to stiff peaks.

5. 5

   Fold the cooled milk mixture into the whipped cream gently — don't deflate the air.

6. 6

   At this point you can flavour the base (see flavour recipes) or pour as-is for vanilla. Freeze in an airtight container for at least 8 hours, ideally overnight.
