Tips and tricks on the vanilla ice cream with the thermomix

20 tips and tricks about the thermomix recipe

• Use high-quality vanilla pods for an intense and authentic taste. Split the pod in half and scrape the seeds to add them to the ice cream.
• Use whole milk and heavy cream to achieve a creamy and smooth texture. Avoid using skimmed milk as it may make the ice cream less rich.
• To infuse the vanilla into the milk, heat the mixture over low heat for a few minutes before letting it cool. This will allow the vanilla flavors to release further.
• When mixing the ingredients in the Thermomix bowl, use the "mixer" function at medium speed to obtain a smooth and well-blended ice cream base.
• Refrigerate the ice cream base for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before transferring it to the Thermomix ice cream maker. This will result in a better consistency during freezing.
• Make sure the Thermomix ice cream maker is pre-frozen to ensure effective freezing of the ice cream. Place it in the freezer for at least 24 hours before using.
• When pouring the ice cream base into the ice cream maker, make sure not to fill it to the top. The ice cream will increase in volume during freezing, so leave some space for that.
• Regularly monitor the freezing of the ice cream in the ice cream maker. It should take between 20 and 30 minutes, but this may vary depending on the temperature of your ice cream maker.
• If you want to add vanilla pieces or chocolate chips to your ice cream, add them at the very end of freezing, just before transferring the ice cream to an airtight container.
• Once the ice cream is ready, place it in the freezer for a few additional hours to harden further. This will result in a perfect texture for serving ice cream scoops.
• You can use vanilla extract instead of vanilla pods or even replace the sugar and vanilla with vanilla sugar.
• To present the Thermomix vanilla ice cream, serve it in the shape of ice cream scoops, add whipped cream, and decorate it with mint leaves or a chocolate sauce, as the combination of vanilla and chocolate is perfect in taste, for example.
• To make this Thermomix vanilla ice cream more indulgent, drizzle it with chocolate sauce or decorate it with pecans or add caramel, or even add custard, it will only make it better.
• You can replace the vanilla with dark chocolate to make Thermomix chocolate ice cream or make salted caramel ice cream for a delicious recipe.
• Use Madagascar vanilla, which is said to be excellent.
• For this quick homemade vanilla ice cream recipe, the Thermomix is ideal for making quick and creamy ice cream and sorbets without an ice cream maker.
• On the same principle, by pre-freezing the fruits, you can make banana ice cream, strawberry ice cream, mango ice cream, fruit ice cream, or red fruit ice cream.
• Thermomix sorbet is even quicker to make as it only requires water, such as strawberry sorbet, pear sorbet, apricot sorbet, or lemon sorbet.
• If you like sweet and savory recipes with vanilla, I recommend the Thermomix recipe for sole fillet in vanilla sauce.
• For a delicious vanilla dessert, the recipe for vanilla cream with speculoos is excellent.
