Instructions
- Chill the Cream: Start by chilling the heavy cream for about 15-20 minutes to help it whip faster and hold its shape.
- Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form (about 2-3 minutes). Soft peaks mean the cream should hold its shape but not be overly stiff.
- Add Your Flavor: Fold in your second ingredient gently using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream. For example:
- For banana ice cream: Blend frozen bananas until smooth and fold them into the whipped cream.
- For Nutella ice cream: Gently mix in Nutella.
- For strawberry ice cream: Fold in strawberry jam or strawberry puree.
- Freeze: Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container and cover tightly. Freeze for at least 3-4 hours, or until firm.
- Serve: Scoop and serve as-is, or add your favorite toppings!
