Tools
Ingredients
- 1 cup double cream
- 1 cup milk
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (about 14 oz), chilled
- 2 stalks lemongrass
- 3–4 tbsp lime juice (from 1 large lime)
- 1/2–1 red chilli (depending on your preferred heat level)
- A pinch of sea salt
- Topping suggestions: Coconut flakes, crushed salted peanuts, lime zest, grated frozen chili, a few drops of fish sauce.
Follow these steps
- Place the freezer bowl in the freezer at 0°F (-18°C) for 20–24 hours.
- Remove the outer layer of the lemongrass stalk, then break and crush it.
- Heat the milk, cream, and lemongrass (do not boil). Reduce to low heat and let it infuse for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool.
- Refrigerate the milk mixture until fully chilled.
- Finely chop the chili, zest the lime, and squeeze out the juice.
- Remove the lemongrass stalks from the mixture and add the condensed milk, chopped chili, lime zest, lime juice, and salt.
- Assemble the ice cream maker on your Ankarsrum stand mixer and pour in the mixture. Churn on medium speed until the ice cream reaches a creamy consistency, about 30 minutes.
- Cover the freezer bowl with a lid and place it in the freezer for at least 3 hours for a firmer texture, preferably overnight.
- Serve with your choice of toppings.
