Happy #IceCreamWeek, everybody! Me and some of my blogger friends decided that we should take a whole week to celebrate frozen deliciouness, so I’m gonna post 3 ice cream recipes this week! Woohoo! ??? But before we get to that, I want to start this post by getting something out of the way: I absolutely suck at scooping perfect ice cream balls. I consequently suck even further at photographing it and it ends up melting everywhere and I end up snacking on all the meltyness and when I realize I have no ice cream left to try and fix the situation. ? So, yeah… First world struggles, I guess! The good news? This is the most delicious ice cream I’ve ever made! And possibly eaten. But you will have to trust me because the photos do it no justice. I really wanted to capture all the swirls of gooey brigadeiro that are part of this luscious ice cream. But the laws of physics didn’t seem to want to cooperate! Damn you, Lavoisier! “In nature nothing is created, nothing is lost, everything changes.” Meaning: beautiful ice cream transforms into melted mess. Delicious nonetheless! ?
Brazilians are crazy for their brigadeiro and I am no different. I have the willpower to resist many things, but brigadeiro is not one of them! Made with sweet condensed milk, chocolate and butter, this fudge-like sweet ball will have your heart in one bite, I guarantee.
And it’s even better in ice cream form!
The best thing about this recipe is that you won’t need an ice cream machine! That’s right. No churn, no fuss, nada! And you only need 5 ingredients. “How is that even possible?”, I’m sure you’re thinking, since most homemade ice cream recipes you’ve encountered ask for a lot of ingredients, one of them being eggs. I explain: in this no-churn ice cream, the sweet condensed milk takes the place of the custard and the whipped cream brings the airy, creamy texture that regular ice cream gets from churning in an ice cream machine. The results? An unbelievable creamy and smooth ice cream that melts on your tongue and has fun swirls of surprise inside. The surprise? You know it! Brigadeiro, of course.
I definitely see myself making this ice cream on a weekly basis from now on! I am seriously addicted. Why would someone buy the store stuff when you can make something like this at home? I hope you guys give it a try! If you do, I would love if you snapped a photo and posted it on Instagram with the hashtag #oliviascuisine (and #icecreamweek too, why not?), so I can be super proud of you. And – who knows? – maybe you are a better ice cream scooper than me! ?
