Have you ever made that ice-cream sandwich slice where you mix together condensed milk, whipped cream and a crushed chocolate bar, and sandwich it between two layers of malt biscuits? I love it every time, despite the fatty layer it leaves on the roof of your mouth. :D This is that recipe, with a homemade fructose-free condensed milk... minus the chocolate bar and biscuits, but still with the roof-of-the-mouth coating. If you give this a try, hopefully you'll agree with me that it proves it's not just the chocolate and biscuits that make it so good.
Make condensed milk:
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1 1/3 cups dry milk powder (unsweetened. Maybe double-check that yours is gluten-free if you need that. My Coles brand milk powder lists only milk and soy emulsifier in the ingredients.)
- 2/3 cup dextrose (NOTE: I have updated this from 3/4 cup to 2/3 cup as it was very sweet.)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Stir milk
into cold water.
Microwave
on high 45 seconds to 1 minute until steaming, then stir in dextrose &
vanilla.
Refrigerate
till cool before using.
After chilling, add
600ml thickened cream
Whip cream and condensed milk together until thick, then
transfer to sealed container (at least 1.5L) and freeze.
