Judy's Ice Cream Base and 4 Flavor Options

Mama was famous for her Ice Cream Socials! She would invite everyone over to the pool for a swim, while 5 different churns were whirling away inside the pool house! (For course, there was also a pitcher of her poolside lemonade on hand in the freezer!) Mama's Ice Creams were simple, but tasted better than any ice cream shop in the world. Her favorite was Strawberry! She started with a standard base.

Ice Cream Base

6 Eggs
2 cups Sugar
2 quarts Milk

Bring to boil, cool and put in a churn or your freezer device.



Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

4 cups Ice Cream Base
8oz Cream Cheese, softened
1/4 cup Sugar
1 pint Strawberries, stemmed and diced
1/4 cup Sugar
1/2 Graham Cracker Crumbs
1 T sugar
1 tsp butter, melted

Combine the strawberries and 1/4 sugar and set aside. Pour the base in a 13x9 casserole dish and freeze. Meanwhile, in a mixer, blend the cream cheese and 1/4 to 1/2 of sugar, to taste, until cream and combined. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the frozen ice cream base and top with strawberry mixture, juice and all. Return to the freezer to set. Combine the remaining crackers, sugar and butter, and sprinkle over the top. Freeze until firm.



Whopper Ice Cream

2 cups Ice Cream Base
1/2 Chocolate Malted Milk Powder
Whopper Malted Milk Balls, crushed

Mix and freeze. Once frozen, cover the top with crushed Whopper candies.



Almond Joy 

2 cups Ice Cream Base
1 1/2 teaspoons coconut extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup

Mix and freeze. Once frozen, cover the top with slivered almonds.



Samoa (like the Girl Scout Cookies) 

2 cups Ice Cream Base
2 teaspoons coconut extract
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup 
2 tablespoons caramel ice cream topping

Mix and freeze. Once frozen, cover the top with toasted coconut.


NOTE:
Orange Pineapple was a HUGE favorite of all my Mama's Ice Cram Flavors!

Add to full base recipe: 1 bottle of Orange Crush (At that time, that would have been a one liter bottle.)
1 can of crushed Pineapple.

Kashikeyo Baipen (Screwpine fruit Porridge)

Image
I know I posted this a long time ago but I took some of my old posts out due to some comments I got but then again , I realized  different people make their recipes differently, so why bother what people say. Anyway, the first time I heard of this recipe was from my husband. We had just been married and living in Kulhudhufushi as my husband was working there for 6 months.  I love screwpine fruit and its heady perfume. So there I was making, or rather trying to make, kashikeyo kandhi and hubby kept hovering around, going that's not how my mum used to make. Yes I know ladies,  there are lots of new weds, who read this who have heard this line LOL??. Anyway , a few years later,  I finally tasted the  dish , which by the way was a totally different  dish altogether, so my hubby was right???? .   My mum in law  showed me how to make  it and I love making this, especially during Ramadhan, as its not just a desert dish , it can even be eating...

Banbukeyo Hithi ( Breadfruit Curry)

Image
For ages I kept meaning to try one of the Hithi recipes. Hithi means bitter but this is not a bitter curry. Its called hith i because its uses a spice known locally as hithi damui . My mum kept saying its difficult getting hithi damui you can only get it from the local ayuvedhi stalls until my sister discovered after seeing the spice that it was in fact ajwain/ carom seeds . I have seen ajwain seeds in a local shop and also in some of the Indian specialty shops. Ajwain seeds although it looks a lot like tiny cumin seeds  has a slightly different taste. There  are two kinds of hithi , one is this banbukeyo ( breadfruit )  hithi and the other is maalhoskeyo hithi ( plaintain). Recipe : Banbukeyo Hithi Serves 4 -6 1/4 piece of a regular size banbukeyo (about 250g) 2 garlic cloves, finely grated 1/2 inch ginger grated 10 curry leaves small piece pandan leaf 1/4 tsp tumeric 100g smoked tuna 1 small onion thinly sliced 1/2 tsp ajwain or hithi damui 150 ml coconut milk 700...
