What are the different kinds of ice cream recipes you will come across
Well, the definition of ice cream is not restricted to only one kind of recipe rather every region has developed its own set of instructions and methods of cooking when it comes to ice cream.
Two such popular ice cream options are the Philadelphian ice cream and the French style.
The regular ice cream that we buy from the store is the French style of ice cream which first got popularized in the USA after the American Revolution. It is the presence of eggs that gives such an ice cream a sense of richness and creamy consistency which is a characteristic quality of a typical ice cream. Being full of fat and proteins, eggs give a sense of creamy and fluffy texture to the ice creams. The addition of eggs further helps to increase the lifeline of the ice cream as it melts very slowly due to the presence of the yolk in it.
On the other hand, if we take the example of the Philadelphian ice cream, then let us find out how it is different from the French version. Unlike the French version, the Philadelphian ice cream contains no eggs but just the cream and sweetening agents. These are hence super easy to make and quite light compared to the former. However, it melts faster too.

Chill the bowl in the refrigerator before you begin. Take the whipped cream, beater, and condensed milk which are the essential components of a typical ice cream. We would recommend you chill each of these items in the refrigerator for at least twelve hours, although one full day yields the best result.
The Condensed milk is transferred to the bowl along with vanilla extract to enhance the taste of the ice cream even more. Next goes in the whipped cream which you can then whip gently with a beater. Add some whipped cream and soon you will observe a creamy and frothy consistency of liquid in the bowl.
Now take a cold or chilled container and place this mixture inside the bowl. Cover with a transparent sheet so that no dirt alights upon the ice cream surface. Allow it to rest in the refrigerator for about twelve to twenty-four hours until it freezes completely.
Once done, scoop the vanilla ice cream and serve as dessert after dinner. Of course, you can add all your favorite toppings to the ice cream like nut crumbs, sprinkles, and so on. Our favorite is vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup. What's yours?
