"SLC-S25/W2 | Vanilla ice cream"

Alhamdulillah I am completely fine and I hope all my friends are completely fine. I am here again to participate in this SLC-S25/W2 challenge, which our dear friend and sister too @m-fdo has organized. This challenge brings me great joy. Today's challenge has asked us to make vanilla ice cream, so this is a very delicious and amazing challenge. It is almost everyone's favorite. This ice cream can change bad mood into good. We can put different types of ingredients, but I made vanilla ice cream using very few ingredients.

I took a beautiful white colored pan and added two spoons of vanilla custard powder to it. Then I took half a cup of milk and added it to it and beat it well. After that I poured two cups of milk into a pan, placed it on the stove, turned on the flame, and let the milk heat up. The milk begin to hot, I put half a cup of sugar in it. Then I started cooking the milk while mixing the sugar well. So guys the milk started to boil, I started adding the custard powder mixture that I had mixed in it, stirring it with a spoon at the same time so that no lumps form in it. I waited about two minutes and after turned off the flame. You know what guys, If we cooked it for too long, it would have become too hard. Which would have made our ice cream impossible, so I only cooked it for two minutes.

Then I poured it into a beautiful glass bowl and set it aside to cool thoroughly. After about an hour, my mixture had cooled down, so I whipped it well with a fork and mixed it well. This was also vital part to cool this mixture. If we used it hot or to make ice cream, our ice cream would not turn out well. Therefore, it is necessary to cool the mixture first.

Then I took the juicer and put a cup of cream in it. I also kept this cream in the freezer and chilled it well because everything we need to make ice cream needs to be cold. Then I turned on the juicer for one to two minutes. Once the cream was well mixed, I started adding my cooled mixture to it and then I turned the juicer machine on and let the two things mix well. You can see in the picture that my ice cream mixture and cream came together nicely.

Then I started scooping out my ice cream mixture into a blue bowl and as soon as I added this mixture to the blue bowl, I leveled it with the help of a spoon and added the raisins on top.
By the way, according to our test, we can also add pistachios and almonds, etc., but I only had raisins at that time, so I added raisins to it. I cover and place it in freezer for 4 hours. I love to taste well frozen ice cream. The taste of melted ice cream is not good. That is why, I kept it in freezer for better texture and taste.

After awaking next morning, I offered prayer. The first thing, I opened freezer and take out ice cream. You can see in the picture how well my ice cream was done. Then I scooped out the ice cream into my pretty little bowl and made my final picture.

But let me tell you one thing, my ice cream test was very good, Masha Allah, because everyone praised it very much after eating it and everyone liked it. I hope that you people will also like my recipe and the ice cream that you are seeing and you will also enjoy it.

While making vanilla ice cream, I faced a few small but real struggles. Mixing the cream and milk was not easy sometimes it felt too thick, other times too thin. Finding good quality vanilla powder was also tough, most shops did not have the pure one I wanted. The most difficult part was waiting it for freeze. I checked again and again, hope it will be ready. I was also worried, when I add raisins because they kept sinking. But in last, I tasted first spoon, everything felt good. It made me smile.

Without thinking any moment, I will share my ice cream with my favourite steemian @m-fdo . Yes, If I had the chance to share my home made vanilla ice cream with a Steemit friend, I choose @m-fdo. She is one of the sweetest and most supportive lady on this platform. Her kind comments and constant encouragement always bring a smile on my face. I love to her foods recipe and also art style. I am big fan of her. I feel she will truly enjoy this soft, creamy taste of vanilla with a few raisins on top. She has a warm and gentle personality and I believe good food becomes even better when shared with kind souls like her. We have not met in real life, I think she is a true friend. Ice cream sharing with her will be a way to say thank you for being so wonderful.

May all my friends always be happy🤗 and remember me in your prayers🤲.

Thank you for being with me.
