Homemade vanilla ice cream doesn’t last as long as store-bought versions, so it’s best to finish it within a week. Make sure it’s sealed properly during storage.

INGREDIENTS
MAIN INGREDIENTS
- 80g heavy cream
- A few drops of vanilla extract
- 80g granulated sugar
ACCESSORIES
- 100g brown sugar pearls
- 1 chocolate cookie stick
- 2 cheese wafers
DIRECTIONS
STEP 1
Gather all the required ingredients.
STEP 2
Pour 80g of heavy cream into a mixing bowl, then add 80g of granulated sugar and a few drops of vanilla extract (about 3-4 drops).
STEP 3
Use a whisk to beat the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks.
Tip:
Whisking the cream requires a fast and steady hand, and it takes some time. You may need a bit of strength and patience, so don’t hesitate to get help from someone in your household.
STEP 4
Spoon the whipped vanilla cream into a mold, then place it in the freezer until it’s fully frozen.
Tip:
It takes about 4 hours for the ice cream to freeze completely. If you have the time and patience, letting it freeze for up to 2 days will enhance its texture and flavor.
STEP 5
Cook the Brown Sugar Pearls:
Boil water in a pot, then add 100g of brown sugar pearls. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 25 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the pearls sit, covered, for 30 minutes. Finally, soak the pearls in ice water.
STEP 6
After about 4 hours, use an ice cream scoop to portion out the frozen vanilla ice cream into balls.
STEP 7
Scoop the ice cream into a cup and add the pre-cooked brown sugar pearls.
STEP 8
Garnish with 2 cheese wafers and 1 chocolate cookie stick.
STEP 9
Your delicious vanilla ice cream is ready to enjoy!
