Vitamix Vanilla Ice Cream

Martha D — Mon, 05 May 2014 03:25:24 GMT

Today in the Vitamix presentation they showed a recipe making ice cream from frozen cubes of 2% milk with vanilla etc. they said the recipe was either in your cookbook or online. I can't find it in either place. Anyone have it please? Thanks!

Martha~ I went back to the video for the presentation of K41173 and while he didn't give measurements the ingredients are:

milk, sugar, non-fat dry milk, vanilla, and 2% milk ice cubes. The demo is around the 6:10 point if you want to see it. It looks like a whole tray of cubes (made from 2% milk) and probably a cup of a mix of the other ingredients? hope that helps

The recipe in the cookbook is below. Don't know if he used part or all of the half & half or whole milk for the ice cubes since there is liquid in the bottom of the container. Maybe he used 1 cup milk plus the 4 cups ice cubes made with milk??? I would say you would probably need 2 ice cube trays filled with milk to make the 4 cups ice cubes needed for the recipe.

Vanilla Ice Cream

1 cup half & half or whole milk

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup nonfat dry milk (optional)

1 tsp Vanilla

4 cups ice cubes

Place ingredients in Vitamix, select variable 1 & quickly increase speed to variable 10.

Use tamper to press ingredients into the blades.

In 30-60 seconds the sound of the motor will change & 4 mounds should form when done.

Yields 5 cups

You can make this recipe lower in fat by using nonfat milk or soy milk in place of half & half or whole milk.

To my taste, adding ice cubes does not make ice cream. It's a frozen vanilla dessert, but it is not ice cream!

I have made the vanilla and the chocolate. I use fat free half & half for the ice cubes. Regular ice cubes made it more of a ice milk than cream. Using the half & half cubes makes a much better product.

I couldn't understand the ice cubes either. I agree... Freeze the milk to use instead of ice cubes. Will have to try it soon. Martha

So how many ice cubes (if using half and half ice cubes) do you put in the machine? Then you put sugar and vanilla/chocolate in too? What kind of liquid goes in to help grind it up? Please explain all, as I would like to try this. But caution....I am kitchen challenged. So please provide specific and simple instructions, lol.

I am going to try Nightowlz recipe above except use 4 cups of cubes made from 2% milk not water and see how it goes. I watched the presentation on this evening and it looked like a 4c measure full of milk cubes. We'll see how it goes!

sorry if I didn't make myself clear but in the demo Jan said that the ice cubes were made of 2% milk if you watch the video you will see how easy it is
