Vanilla Beans Ice Cream
Convincing your dad to let you take his car for a spin; staying up until late hours to open the door for you; waiting to have dinner with you because she was unsure whether you have had anything to eat; a mother does it all, and more. Though nothing compares to her love and care for you since you were born; Mother’s Day gives you a chance to bring a smile on her face and express how much you cherish her presence in your life. If you are looking to do something special for your mom this Mother’s Day, how about treating her with an ice cream scoop of homemade vanilla beans ice cream? As far as “how to go about it” is concerned, this brief post has got you covered. 

Preparing Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

Remember the classic vanilla ice cream that mom used to serve you when you were a kid? Now you too can prepare it and surprise her, especially if you have KitchenAid’s 1.9 L Ice Cream Maker by your side. To prepare vanilla bean ice cream (for two), you will need the following ingredients:

  1. Whole milk: 1 cup
  2. Double cream: 2 cups
  3. Granulated sugar: 3/4 cup
  4. Beans from one vanilla pod

Once you have the ingredients, here are the steps to follow:

  1. Keep the Ice cream maker attachment in a freezer and chill it overnight
  2. Take milk and granulated sugar in a saucepan and whisk the mixture
  3. Once the sugar melts, add cream and vanilla beans to the mixture
  4. Pour this mixture into a container, cover it, and let it freeze for about two hours
  5. After the mixture has frozen, pour it into the ice-cream maker and churn it for 15 mins
  6. Pour the mixture into a container, and freeze it, until it’s firm

And Don’t Forget to Add to the “Secret Sauce”

After all, moms might be the only creation on Earth, who need nothing more from you, but a little love and affection. Right from the day she conceives, a mother makes countless sacrifices - some we know and many we may not be able fathom no matter how old or “mature” we get. So, when you serve her that freshly prepared vanilla bean ice-cream scoop, don’t forget to say, “I love you, mom”.
