Ice Cream Base

Seasonal Flavors (Optional)

Method

Ice Cream Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Base Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

  2. 2

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to chill. This helps improve the texture of the ice cream.

  3. 3

    Churn the Ice Cream

    Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Adding Mix-ins

  1. 4

    Incorporate the Mix-ins

    During the last few minutes of churning, add the rainbow sprinkles and mini marshmallows to the ice cream base. Make sure they are evenly distributed.

Optional Seasonal Flavor Preparation

  1. 5

    Add Seasonal Flavor

    If desired, you can create a seasonal flavor by swirling in the fruit puree or adding chocolate chips after the ice cream has been churned. Do this gently to maintain texture.

Freezing and Serving

  1. 6

    Transfer and Freeze

    Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight to firm up.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Once the ice cream has hardened, scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy your Caffe Panna ice cream topped with additional sprinkles or marshmallows if desired.
