Description

Silly Twits Ice Cream is a simple, no-churn homemade ice cream recipe that combines light, fluffy meringue with whipped double cream and vanilla-infused egg yolks, resulting in a creamy, airy dessert perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 4 eggs, separated
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 140g caster sugar

Cream

  • 300ml double cream

Instructions

  1. Separate the eggs: Carefully separate the egg yolks from the whites, placing them in two clean bowls.
  2. Beat yolks and vanilla: Using an electric whisk, beat the egg yolks with the vanilla extract until the mixture is light and foamy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Whisk egg whites with sugar: Clean the whisk thoroughly. In the other bowl, whisk the egg whites gradually incorporating the caster sugar until the mixture becomes thick, glossy, and holds stiff peaks, similar to meringue. This process usually takes around 5 minutes.
  4. Whip the cream: Lightly whip the double cream just until it softly holds its shape. Do not overwhip, as it should remain airy and smooth.
  5. Combine mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the egg yolk mixture, followed by folding in the meringue-like egg white mixture. Mix until everything is just combined, preserving as much air as possible for a light texture.
  6. Freeze the ice cream: Transfer the combined mixture into a suitable container, cover it tightly, and place it in the freezer until solid, which typically takes around 4-6 hours or overnight for best results.
  7. Serve: Remove the ice cream from the freezer about 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly for easier scooping and best texture.

Notes

  • Ensure no yolk contaminates the whites for better meringue stiffness.
  • Whip cream just until soft peaks to maintain a light texture.
  • Letting the ice cream sit out for 10 minutes before serving helps with scooping.
  • Use fresh eggs and quality vanilla extract for best flavor.
