Step-by-step Guide
Kefir Ice Cream
- Prepare 4 to 5 hours in advance to ensure all ingredients and equipment are ready for use.
- Make sure to have the bowl and paddle of the ice cream maker in the freezer before starting. This will help make the ice cream-making process more effective. The ingredients are for 4 people.
- Measure 4 or 5 tablespoons of kefir, 200 ml of heavy cream with 35% fat content, and 4 tablespoons of honey; these are the necessary ingredients to prepare the ice cream.
Note: Measurements for 2 people
- Mix the kefir with the heavy cream in a large bowl and semi-whip with electric beaters at medium speed for about 3-4 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken.
- Add the honey and stir well until the honey is completely integrated, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for about 3 hours to ensure the mixture is well-cooled.
- Then, we can prepare the ice cream in two ways:
- Using the ice cream maker: Ensure that the bowl and paddle of the ice cream maker have been placed in the freezer at least 24 hours beforehand to ensure they are thoroughly chilled.
- Or by placing the bowl with the mixture directly in the freezer for about 4 hours. Stir it with a spoon every 30 minutes to achieve a smooth and creamy texture, preventing the formation of ice crystals.
Recommendations & Tricks
- Note: The quantities indicated are for 2 people, adjust them if necessary for more servings.
- Mix the kefir with the 35% liquid cream and beat with electric beaters until you obtain a slightly whipped texture, being careful not to overdo it to prevent the cream from curdling.
- Add the honey, preferably liquid to facilitate mixing, and stir gently until fully integrated.
- Before making the ice cream, place the mixture in an airtight container and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours to allow the flavors to settle.
- If you have an ice cream maker, remember to put the bowl and the paddle in the freezer at least 12 hours before using them for the best results.
- If you do not have an ice cream maker, place the bowl with the mixture directly in the freezer for about 4 hours, stirring vigorously every 30 minutes with a fork to break the ice crystals and achieve a creamy texture.
