Another homemade adventure, trying to work out good things to do with condensed milk. That with whipped cream, a small amount of milk and some banana flavouring works a treat.
100ml Sweetened condensed milk
100ml double cream
50ml semi-skimmed milk
1/2 tsp of banana flavour
Whisk until really bubbly and pour into moulds, leave to set for 12 hours. Enjoy.

I really liked the sound of this, so decided to give it a go after watching a run through on YouTube. I will share the link at the bottom of this post so you know how it is done and where I got the recipe. How it should look versus how it turned out!
Ingredients:
50ml fresh orange juice
500ml milk
100g Sugar
250 ml double / whipping cream
Orange essence
The black cherry juice wasn’t used in this one, but is there to show will be tried next. This recipe gets you to make your own condensed milk from scratch to make the ice-cream, which is the consistency you want when making the base. But I believe you can use a can of pre made and start from that point.
From scratch – heat the milk and sugar together and bring to the boil, then reduce heat, and reduce the mixture by about a 1/3, stiring and checking the viscosity. When happy with it, take off the heat and allow to cool completely, stiring while it does.
Then stir in the orange juice and mix well. Get a seperate bowl for the cream, and whip it for around 30 seconds, then pour in the orange mixture, add a teaspoon of orange essence. Whip together until as soft peaks (orange colouring can be used if you want it to be colourful).
Put into a dish and put in the freezer to set, will be good to go after about 8-10 hours. I wasn’t sure I had pulled this off, as my mixer wasn’t working that well and I used a fork for the last bit, reaslising I was probably removing most of the airation. It wasn’t soft peaks at all, and seemed rather runny. So in the freezer it went, as I thought it would be good to taste it still and see where I could improve it.
It was a actually a good fail in my opinion, although not like the one in the tutorial video, it is extremely tasty and smooth. I’m excited to try cherry next, and give orange another go, maybe using colouring this time. We’ll see how it goes.

Here is the link for ‘Hands Touch’ on YouTube, where I saw the recipe and method, so you can check out the method as I know my instructions can be quite brief, and this deserves to be shared, it’s awesome –
