Tiramisu Ice Cream (No Churn/Ice Cream, Eggless) | Recipe



This recipe combines all of the mature flavors of your classic Tiramisu, in a cold, soft and creamy ice-cream form. This is absolutely perfect at times when you crave something creamy and cold under the hot rays of summer. I love this recipe because it is SO easy- there is no need to churn or buy an additional ice cream maker just to make delicious ice cream. Thanks to the condensed milk in the recipe, it provides a depth of richness, and, the condensed milk and alcohol in this never actually freezers hard and firm, so it leaves your ice cream with minimal ice crystals for a soft and dreamy texture- reminiscent of a luscious gelato.
The decadence of this ice cream goes really well with the sponge fingers in this recipe, as they soften up in the freezer into miniature sponge cakes for a variety of textures, as the ice cream gently melts in your mouth. The magic about making homemade ice cream is that you know what will be in it, unlike with many store-bought brands, where they have ingredients you can't even pronounce! Enough with the talking, here's the recipe:

Tiramisu Ice Cream Recipe                                                                                   Recipe by iSaamuel
INGREDIENTS;
300ml of Heavy Whipping Cream,
1/2 - 3/4 Cup of Condensed Milk (Depending on your personal preferrence of sweetness),
1 Tablespoon of Coffee Extract or 1 Tablespoon of a Coffee Liquer,
125g of Mascarpone Cheese (Softened),
2 Tablespoons of Instant Coffee,

7 Sponge Fingers (Chopped into bite-size pieces),
Your personal choice of nuts (Optional).

1. In a large bowl (as always ;)), whisk together the whipping cream, the condensed milk, and coffee extract/liquer until soft peaks form.
2. Add in the mascarpone cheese and instant coffee, whisking thoroughly until a pale brown colour is achieved.
3. Chop the sponge fingers into bite-size pieces. Fold them in with the nuts into the cream mixture.
I like to use sponge fingers with this recipe, rather than traditional Italian Savoiardi Lady Fingers, because it softens easier, therefore results in almost miniature 'sponge cake pieces' in the end result.
4. Pour this mixture into an air-tight freezable container and freeze for at least 5 hours until the ice cream is cold and set.
5. Scoop and serve this to family and friends to show them that you are the next ice cream maker of the house! Enjoy.

Fresh Fruit and Cream Sponge Cakes Recipe




Fluffy and soft sponge cakes, with sweet mangoes under creamy custard and freshly whipped cream. Feel free to use any fruit you'd like!

Fresh Fruit and Cream Sponge Cakes Recipe                                                    Recipe by iSaamuel 


INGREDIENTS;

6 Egg Yolks,
6 Egg Whites,
90g of Sugar,
1 Tbsp of Pure Vanilla Extract,
2 Tbsps of Milk,
3 Tbsps of Oil,
1 Tsp of Cream of TarTar,
80g of Bread Flour,

2 Ripe Mangos,

3/4 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream,
2 Tbsps of Sugar.
Powdered Sugar to garnish.

1. In a large mixing bowl, place the Bread Flour, Egg Yolks, Oil, Milk and Pure Vanilla Extract. Whisk this mixture together for 3-5 minutes vigorously until the batter becomes thick and gluten strands should appear.
2. In another large bowl, whisk together the Egg Whites, Cream of TarTar and the Sugar until stiff peaks form, and are glossy.
3. Fold Egg Whites into Egg Yolk mixture gently until it is all combined together. Do not overmix as this will deflate all of the air you have whipped into the egg whites, making for a dense, chewy, 'gummy' cake.
4. Pout the complete batter into a rectangular baking pan (swiss roll pan), spread out batter evenly, and bake at 180C for 15-20 minutes.
5. Let the cake cool. Cut out the cake into circles with a wide cookie cutter. Cut your mango into bite size cubes. Whip the Heavy Whipping Cream with sugar until stiff peaks form.

Decorate as you like by piping the cream and drizzling on custard. Enjoy this layered, professional and elegant dessert!

Sweet Crêpes!

  
INGREDIENTS;                                                                                                       Recipe by iSaamuel
1 Egg,
1/2 Cup of Milk,
1/2 Cup of Plain Flour,
2 Tbsps of Sugar,
2 Tbsps of Butter (Melted),
1 Tsp of Vanilla Extract (Optional.) 

Make the Crêpes savory, by omitting the sugar and adding a 1/2 tsp of Salt to the batter! Serve with Grated Parmesan Cheese and Ham, sprinkled on with freshly ground black pepper to make the best breakfast ever! ^___^

1- In a large bowl, whisk together the Melted Butter, Egg, Vanilla Extract and Sugar together until everything's well combined.
2- Add the Flour in a few additions while whisking vigorously to prevent a lumpy batter.
3- Heat the pan on medium-low heat and use a ladle to scoop the batter on to the pan.
4- Swirl the pan until the batter is distributed evenly and is in a circle. Once the crepe is filled with air, it is ready to flip. When the crepe is flipped, place it on a plate to let cool down.
5- Repeat Step 3 and Step 4 until there is no crepe batter remaining and all the crepes have been cooked.
6. When all the crepes have cooled down, decorate them with some whipped cream and fresh fruits- yum! Be creative and sprinkle them with Powdered Sugar for an elegant look and a hint of sweetness.


This is when the Crêpe is ready flip!

















Now that you have the best crêpe recipe, go ahead and make it to impress your family and friends now! You could also drizzle on some Chocolate Sauce/Syrup or spread each crêpe with Nutella... yum! (: Like this recipe? Please share to your friends and family!
