I looooove thisssss. Look at the pretty little specks.
Step 7 of 16
Now place the mixture above the pot with simmering water. Whisk for 10 minutes. You have to make sure the water never touches the bottom part of the bowl.
Step 8 of 16
Next, strain the mixture in case there were any 'cooked' eggs. I used my finest sieve to ensure I get a really creamy, smooth ice cream. 😊

😍 hehe
Step 10 of 16
Place your heavy cream in your standing mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whisk until stiff peaked are formed. Or you can do this by hand, whisking for 3-4 minutes.
Step 11 of 16
Line a 4x8" loaf pan with couple pieces of plastic wrap, making sure the pieces are large enough to overhang the sides of the pan.
Step 12 of 16
Now fold in the heavy cream into the custard mixture.

Lovelyyy ✌

Pour the custard into the pan and cover it up. Place it in the freezer for 6-8 hours or until set.

Meanwhile, enjoy a video of my friends dancing publicly in a candy store. Or not. 😊✌
Step 16 of 16
This recipe is partially based by Laura Vitale's semifreddo recipe and this is how it'll look like. I forget to take a picture, but this is exactly how it'll look like. 😊😊😊 Enjoy ☺
Yes use two teaspoons if vanilla essence if not using vanilla pod. Well, I think adding chocolate essence instead of vanilla would be a better idea for a chocolate ice cream. Because it doesn't change the recipe & I have never tried it before, so I don't wanna promise you anything. :)
