Simple Ice Cream Recipe



I love ice cream so much. It’s one of my favourite desserts and I also enjoy it with pancakes, waffles, carrot sticks, coffee and just about anything I choose to enjoy with. I just can’t say no to a good ice cream with cookies in it (call me a foodie). I really love Ben and Jerry’s and the other good ones but they can be quite pricey and I feel fulfilled when I am able to say “hey, I made this from scratch”.

Today I’ll be sharing one of my favourite ice cream recipe. It’s really easy and cheap to make. It’s a really good way to impress your friends or guests. All you need to do is make the ice cream base with 2 ingredients; whipping cream and condensed milk and after that go crazy. Add your desired mix and freeze of course.

Whip cream till stiff peak forms and mix with condense milk
smash up some Oreo cookie mix and add to the ice cream base
add strawberry sauce to make strawberry ice cream
I helped myself to extra strawberry sauce and slices



2 Ingredient Ice Cream Base
  • 600 ml double whipping cream
  • 378 gram condense milk (1 can)


Method
  • Whisk the whipping cream till it gets to stiff peak
  • Mix whipping cream with the condense milk
  • Add your favourite topping/mix and freeze.

Beef gravy


Beef gravy served with rice, cucumber and plantain

Hello and welcome, today I would like to share with you all my version of beef gravy. You can have it by itself or with rice, potato, spaghetti and the list goes on. It’s one way to use up vegetables, you can freeze it and it’s very easy to make. It takes three basic steps i.e. Cook meat, stir fry vegetable and combine the meat and the vegetable. This recipe is very flexible. You can use chicken or turkey with just about any vegetable you have around you.

Ingredients
  •          Cabbage
  •          Carrots
  •          Bell pepper
  •          Spring onions
  •          Onions
  •          Chilli pepper
  •          Garlic
  •          Beef
  •          Gravy granules
  •          Beef stock or bouillon cubes
  •          Vegetable oil

Chopped vegetables

Directions
  •   Prepare the ingredients. Chop all the vegetables and cut the beef to bite sizes.
  •  Season and cook the beef with salt, pepper, beef cubes and some onions. Cook thoroughly till its soft. Add some water to help the cooking process.
  •  In a saucepan, pour about 3 tablespoons of oil. Fry onions until is golden brown then add the carrots, peppers and cabbages respectively. Allowing them to cook just enough but not overcook. Add the beef and beef stock to the vegetable and simmer for few minutes allowing the flavours to combine. At the stage, add and adjust salt and pepper.
  • Add some gravy granules for that extra gravy taste and thickness. You can also use a combination of corn flour and water for extra thickness.
