About Roasted Almond Ice Cream

Roasted almond ice cream is one of my all-time favorites. I first had this ice cream at Natural's in India. I have a few other favorite flavors like tender coconut ice cream, Mango ice cream,  chickoo ice cream, litchi ice cream, sitaphal/custard apple ice cream, carrot barfi ice cream, must-try dulce de leche ice cream, etc., and I like to eat all of them in a waffle cone. Whenever I visit India, I make sure to have these ice creams, among other things.

I really wanted to try a good ice cream recipe at home, and because they say first is always the best, I decided why not try my favorite flavor 🙂 But there came my husband and said you please relax today and immediately took charge of the kitchen.

That is really sweet, right? Then he says he is going to prepare my favorite ice cream so that I can have it anytime I want and not wait until my next India visit 🙂

How to make ice cream at home without an ice cream maker?

This was the first time we prepared some ice cream from scratch, and I am happy to report that it was amazing in taste and texture. As long as you ensure that no water is added during the entire process, it prevents the formation of ice crystals upon freezing. Also, gently fold the whipped cream in 3 to 4 batches such that the ice cream mixture is light and airy even after thoroughly combined.

By following these simple steps, you avoid the step of having to mix or churn the ice cream as it freezes and get rich and delicious ice cream every single time. The ice cream will be 10 times better than the store-bought ones.
