Ingredients
Scale
Ice Cream Base
- 14 oz can of condensed milk (397g)
- 2.5 cups heavy cream (double cream UK) (600ml)
- ¼ tsp vanilla bean paste or 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp dark rum
Mix-ins and Garnish
- ¼ to ⅓ of a panettone bread, cut into cubes
- ½ cup candied mixed peel (100g)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ice Cream Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, condensed milk, dark rum, and vanilla bean paste or extract. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture until it becomes very thick, smooth, and forms soft peaks. This ensures a creamy and airy texture for the ice cream.
- Fold in Panettone and Candied Peel: Cut the panettone bread into small cubes. Gently fold the cubed panettone and the candied mixed peel into the thickened ice cream base. Be careful to retain some panettone and peel to scatter on top as a garnish later.
- Freeze the Mixture: Transfer the prepared mixture into a freezer-proof container. Cover it with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn. Freeze the ice cream for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set properly.
- Serve: About 10 to 15 minutes before serving, remove the ice cream from the freezer to soften slightly for easy scooping. Garnish with the reserved panettone cubes and candied peel, then enjoy your festive Panettone Ice Cream.
Notes
- This recipe is no-churn, meaning no ice cream maker is needed.
- Use good quality panettone and candied peel for the best flavor.
- The dark rum adds a rich depth; you can omit or substitute it with a non-alcoholic alternative if desired.
- Beating the cream to soft peaks is essential for a light, creamy texture.
- Allow the ice cream to thaw slightly before serving for easy scooping.
