What does White Chocolate Ice Cream taste like?

This homemade ice-cream is sweet and creamy, with a buttery, milky sweet taste. It has 2 Cups of white chocolate, which is what is used to sweeten it and gives its ice cream flavor; it’s more or less like eating white chocolate but in frozen form.

It has less caffeine than regular chocolate ice cream, because white chocolate has very little caffeine compared to regular chocolate, or even less compared to dark chocolate.

How to make the perfect ice cream

This is a super easy recipe, and with only a few steps to make it. What you do need to consider is the amount of time this needs to be refrigerated and frozen, so think about it when planning to make it.

1. Start by melting the chunks of white Chocolate and heavy whipping cream together over a medium saucepan in low heat, until you have completely melted white chocolate. Mix in vanilla and salt. Let the hot mixture cool a bit and then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
2. Over a large bowl or a mixing bowl, whip your mixture with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, around 1-2 minutes. Add milk and mix. Pour your mixture in a separate bowl or freezable container, cover and freeze overnight. Remove from the freezer 5 minutes before serving.

• Anything matcha will pair beautifully with it

Tips and Tricks

Take out of the fridge 5 minutes before serving

Make sure your mixture is cooled for 3-4 hours before beating. When the fat in the cream is cold while beating, it helps in making it light and airy, and it holds better its shape.

You can add a handful of small white chocolate chunks to your mixture right before placing it in the freezer.

Substitutions

Although I’ve never tried this, you could substitute the cream, white chocolate and milk for non dairy versions. Coconut Cream, non dairy milk and non dairy white chocolate could work instead of the original ingredients, just make sure that you don’t use low fat versions.

How long does Ice Cream last

Homemade Ice Cream can last in the freezer for around 2 weeks if stored correctly; after that, texture could change a bit and large crystals may form.

To prevent this, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the ice cream’s surface after each use.
