When Summer arrives in its full swing in a country like ours, all you want to eat is something really cold and refreshing, isn’t it? Everyone in our house is a big fan of this vanilla bean ice cream and is usually served after the dinner with a side of healthy Espresso Oats Brownies, Mocha Hazelnut Brownies or Chocolate Brownie with Cream Cheese Swirl. Vanilla Bean Ice Cream is really rich and creamy which is way better than the store bought ones. You can also add additional flavors like chocolate chips, strawberries etc of your liking and make this dessert way yummier! And the best part is, it doesn’t need ice cream maker to make it. Although vanilla beans are the best ingredient to make this, you can even use Homemade Vanilla Extract, recipe which can be found here. 

Vanilla Bean Ice Cream is super easy to make at home and yields a rich and creamy ice cream. It can be enjoyed with brownies.

One of the reasons behind liking Vanilla Bean Ice Cream is that it can be paired up with a plethora of sauces, can be used to assemble an elaborate dessert as well. As it is very easy to make, Vanilla Bean Ice Cream becomes an ideal dessert after regular family meals. Read its quick recipe. For different varieties of ice cream that you can experiment with, try the Roasted Peach and Apricot Icecream or the Mango Ice Cream which are equally yummy.

      Heavy cream is cream with more than 33% of fat content. I use Riche’s or Tropolite. Even Amul has a heavy cream now. If branded heavy creams are not available, you can ask your local dairy for it.
