Ingredients
Scale
Ice Cream Base
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Berry Swirl
- 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
Topping
- 1 cup cornflakes
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream using a mixer until stiff peaks form, which ensures the ice cream will be light and airy.
- Combine Condensed Milk and Vanilla: In a separate bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk with the vanilla extract to infuse flavor and sweetness.
- Fold Mixtures Together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream to maintain the creamy texture.
- Swirl in Berries: Carefully fold in the mixed berries to create a marbled or swirled effect throughout the mixture without fully blending the fruit.
- Freeze the Loaf: Pour the combined mixture into a loaf pan, smoothing the top, then place it into the freezer for at least 4 hours or until completely solid.
- Add Cornflake Topping: Just before serving, sprinkle the cornflakes evenly on top to add a contrasting crunchy texture to the creamy ice cream.
- Serve: Scoop slices or portions from the loaf and serve cold for a delightful frozen dessert experience.
Notes
- You can use fresh or frozen berries; if using frozen, thaw slightly before swirling in.
- For a fun variation, try using different types of berries such as raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries.
- To make it dairy-free, substitute heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk with coconut cream and a dairy-free condensed milk alternative.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
- The cornflakes should be added just before serving to maintain their crispness.
