Notes

  1. Here we have used Corn Flour to prepare the paste. You can replace it with Rice Flour or Arrowroot Powder.
  2. Cover the container with aluminium foil so that water crystals are not formed above the ice cream layer.
  3. While boiling the Milk, keep stirring it continuously with a ladle so that it does not stick at the bottom. If it sticks at the bottom or edges, it will burn and the colour of the milk will also change.
  4. Beat the Fresh Cream with Electric Blender or beater till stiff peaks are formed. You can also beat the cream with spoon or whisk.
  5. To make the Vanilla Ice Cream softer, take out the Ice Cream when it is half set. Beat the Ice Cream with beater and then freeze it again.
  6. To give a different flavour to the Ice Cream, you can add Tutti Fruity and Choco Chips while preparing the mixture.
  7. While freezing the Ice Cream, use air tight container so that water crystals are not formed at the surface of the ice cream.
