Ice Cream

In between stressful and anxious moments of checking my ticking time bomb in form of cellular work phone I managed to make some ice cream. I guess  the recipe I use must be the simplest recipe of all and no chemicals added if it wasn't for whipping cream.

I remember this recipe from times when I was a little girl growing up on the island whose shops those years did not sell any ice cream at all (due to transportation problems at those remote times!) so my mother used to make it for us on the occasion. She used whipping cream in powder form. Even that one was hard to find, of course.

I have no idea am I doing it right or not but the final result is always delicious anyway.

I used what I found in the fridge at that particular moment of inspiration, so the ingredients in this case are just basic, really. Normally I also use some fresh and colorful fruits, as well as different nuts, chocolate chips, coffee etc. It's almost the same fun as soap making. (I have much more fun while making soaps, however!)

I used whipping cream that comes sweetened already, therefore not much sugar cca 2 tablespoons  just to mix up with yolks, some eggs (never know the right quantity but in this case eggs were pritty small and whipping cream 500 ml so I tought I should better use 8 eggs anyhow). And that's all you need. Mix white of egg separately, yolks with some sugar separately, whipping cream  separately too, than mix all 3 together and there you have the basic mixture that can already go to the freezer! Well, that could be rather boring ice cream therefore you can add some more things to get different flavors. As this time I did not have much spare ingredients I picked up one lemon directly from our lemon tree in the back garden, grated it a bit and added it to one part of the basic mixture. In another part I put some cocoa powder and in the rest some vanilla sugar. 

And there you go!
Not bad at all!
