Preparation ice cream

1. Put milk, cream and sour cream together with cream cheese in a pot and mix well with a whisk.
2. Scrape out the pith of the vanilla bean and add it to the milk-cream-cream cheese mixture.
3. Weigh the dry ingredients. Small quantities should be weighed with a fine scale (e.g. Josh's digital scale MR5 | Feinwaage the in 0 from € 9.29 )* weighed out. Mix the ingredients well.
4. Gently heat the mixture in the saucepan and add the dry ingredients, stirring constantly with a whisk.
5. Continue stirring the ice cream mixture for a few minutes until just before boiling. Then turn off the heat and remove the pot from the stove.
6. Let the finished ice cream mixture cool and ripen in the refrigerator overnight if necessary.
7. Optional: if you have a Fruit Variegato with your cheesecake ice cream. Should you prepare this now, because this must also cool.
8. Shortly before the ice cream mass goes into the ice cream maker, the lemon juice is added. Make sure that the ice cream mass is cool (no more than lukewarm), otherwise the acid may cause flocculation.

Before freezing, it is best to mix the ice cream again with a hand blender (e.g. Braun hand blender MQ 5200WH from € 39.99 )* or stand mixer (e.g. Russell Hobbs Stand Mixer 2 from € 49.99 )* should be whipped up. This mixes all the ingredients well once again and introduces air into the ice cream mass.

Now you can use the ice cream machine prepare and pre-cool for a few minutes, depending on the model. In the ice cream maker, the freezing process takes about 30 minutes.

Who Glycerin wants to use, should do so when the ice cream mass is already quite solid, but not quite ready.

Alternatively, you can also make the ice cream in the Freezer perform. Every 30 minutes, the ice cream mass must be mixed with a hand mixer (e.g. Bosch hand mixer MFQ2210P from € 44.52 )* whipped (total time about 4 hours). The ice cream will not be as creamy in this production as in an ice cream machine.

If the ice cream becomes hard because, for example, your freezer is particularly cold, then simply allow the ice cream to thaw slightly in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes before eating.
