Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Ice Cream Base
- Whip the cream: Place the heavy cream in the Thermomix bowl and whip at high speed (speed 4-5) for about 1-2 minutes until stiff peaks form. You want the cream to hold its shape but not be over-whipped.
- Mix the condensed milk and vanilla: In a separate bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Slowly fold this mixture into the whipped cream. Use a spatula to gently incorporate the ingredients, making sure not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Add the crushed cookies: Fold in the crushed cookies for that signature crunchy element. You can mix it through or leave some larger chunks for added texture.
- Chill: Pour the mixture into an airtight container, cover it, and place it in the freezer. Let it freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best results. The texture will be soft and creamy.
Step 2: Prepare the Sandy Topping
- Melt the butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Crush the cookies: Use a rolling pin or food processor to crush your cookies. The pieces should be small, but not powdery.
- Combine: Once the butter has melted, add the crushed cookies to the butter and stir to combine. Let it cook for another minute or two to ensure the butter has fully coated the cookie crumbs.
- Cool: Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. The butter will help the cookie crumbs become crisp and sandy.
Step 3: Serve and Enjoy!
- Scoop the ice cream: After the ice cream has frozen to the perfect consistency, scoop it into bowls or cones.
- Top with the sandy mixture: Generously sprinkle the cookie topping over the ice cream, giving it that delightful crunch.
- Optional: For an extra indulgence, drizzle some chocolate syrup, caramel, or add a few chocolate chips or nuts!
Tips for the Perfect Sandy Ice Cream:
- Texture: If you prefer a firmer ice cream, simply allow it to freeze for longer. If you like a softer texture, take it out of the freezer for a few minutes before serving.
- Customize: Feel free to use different kinds of cookies for the topping, such as graham crackers, digestives, or any cookie that holds up well when crushed.
- Add-ins: Get creative with add-ins like chocolate chunks, nuts, or marshmallows mixed into the ice cream before freezing.
