Craving a good homemade ice cream, milk flower ice cream is an excellent base, to be enjoyed on its own or enriched with sour cherries for a good Spanish-flavored ice cream, or with chocolate shavings for a delicious stracciatella ice cream. It can be enjoyed with the addition of Nutella, pistachio cream, or any topping we like, even with salted caramel. I recently bought a self-refrigerating ice cream maker, so I’m dedicating myself to making good homemade ice cream, with a few healthy and genuine ingredients. This is my second attempt, and I must say, I really liked the first one for its taste, do you remember, the vegan coconut ice cream? Today, however, a new ice cream with milk-based ingredients, hence milk flower, made with milk and fresh cream, and little sugar, which makes it creamy, with a taste that resembles milk, and it can be a bit masked with vanilla, just cook a piece of vanilla bean with the milk and sugar, I didn’t add it, and the taste is really delicious. Precisely because of the ingredients used, this ice cream is also suitable for younger children. Let’s see how to prepare it. Super easy with the Medion Ice Cream Maker by the way, Check out my review on the Medion MD 18387 ice cream and yogurt maker Medion MD 18387

Steps to Make Homemade Milk Flower Ice Cream
Put 1/2 cup of milk with the sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil to dissolve the sugar. I worked directly in a bowl and put it in the microwave at maximum power for less than a minute. The important thing is to dissolve the sugar.
Combine the hot milk with the rest of the milk to cool it quickly. If the milk is not pasteurized, boil it all.
You can flavor the milk with a bit of vanilla bean if desired.
Transfer the sweetened milk and fresh cream into the ice cream maker’s bowl. Place the paddle in the bowl to stir the mixture, cover with the appropriate lid, and start the ice cream maker.
The MEDION MD 18387 ice cream maker does it all by itself, I just start the timer, I gave it an hour, the maximum time, and the ice cream makes itself. Times may vary depending on the ingredients used, but it is ready in an hour at most.
When the ice cream is well chilled and creamy around -4°F, it is ready, we can serve it immediately, or enrich it with other ingredients, or we can store it in a container in the freezer, ready for consumption on any suitable occasion. It stays creamy just like freshly made.
It can be stored for at least a month in the freezer. It can be enriched with chocolate, fruit, or whatever you fancy at the moment.
