how to make ice cream in a kitchenaid stand mixer


Are you a fan of homemade ice cream? Do you own a KitchenAid stand mixer? If you answered yes to both questions, then get ready for a culinary adventure as we delve into the world of ice cream making with the help of your trusty KitchenAid stand mixer. In this blog post, we’ll guide you step-by-step to create creamy and mouth-watering ice cream in your own kitchen.

Step 1: Gather the ingredients
Before starting, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients on hand:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
– Your favorite food mix (chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or fruit)

Step 2: Prepare the Ice Cream Mix
In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Using a KitchenAid stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the mixture on low speed for a few minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved. Then, increase the speed to medium and continue blending for two minutes. You should end up with a smooth, creamy ice cream base.

Step Three: Cool the Mixture
Cover the mixing bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least two hours to allow the mixture to cool completely. This step is essential to achieve a velvety texture and prevent ice crystals from forming during stirring.

Step Four: Churn the Ice Cream
Once the mixture has cooled properly, remove it from the refrigerator and attach the KitchenAid Ice Cream Attachment to the stand mixer. Pour the ice cream base into the bowl of the attachment and turn the machine on to its lowest speed. Blend for about 20-25 minutes, or until the mixture reaches a thick, creamy consistency.

Step 5: Add Your Favorite Mixes
During the last few minutes of churning, add your desired blend to the ice cream, such as chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or fruit. The KitchenAid stand mixer distributes the mixture evenly throughout the ice cream, ensuring flavor-pleasing flavors with every scoop.

Step 6: Freeze and Enjoy!
Transfer the freshly churned ice cream to a covered container and place it in the refrigerator for a few hours to harden. Once completely frozen, your homemade ice cream is ready to enjoy. Serve alone, sprinkled with chocolate syrup, or on a slice of warm pie.

Making ice cream from scratch has never been easier and more delicious with the help of the KitchenAid Stand Mixer. Follow the simple steps outlined in this blog post, and in no time you’ll be making batches of homemade ice cream that rival any store-bought ice cream. Experiment with different flavors, blends and toppings to create endless combinations to keep your taste buds satisfied all summer long. So go ahead, dust off your KitchenAid stand mixer and indulge in the sheer joy of homemade ice cream. Happy stirring!
