Making my own ice cream

In the last week, I have tried to make ice cream twice. I have been disappointed with the results. I used a simple recipe from Yummly:

- thickened cream, whipped
- condensed milk, gently folded in (60% sugar)
- vanilla essence, added

Frozen overnight. The result was far too rich and hard. Just simply sweet frozen cream. Yuk.

The second time I used evaporated milk (12% sugar), but the whipped cream collapsed and the passion fruit I added sank to the bottom, so I whizzed it up with banana and milk to make a smoothie. However I do not really enjoy the flavour of full fat cream. It is too rich for my palate.

It works in a milkshake though!
