More on Tutti Frutti Ice Cream
Tutti Frutti Ice cream is a soft and fluffy treat that has chewy and sweet bites of tutti frutti in it. Tutti frutti are basically candied fruits.
In India, tutti frutti is candied papaya bits made from the raw unripe fruit. However globally, it can also be made with pineapple, cherries, currants, watermelon rind, apricots and various berries too.
This basic 2-ingredient Tutti Frutti Ice Cream recipe uses only whipping cream and condensed milk. Thus, has no chance of getting ice crystal formation in it.
The most apt way to make this recipe is by using 30% to 50% fat whipping cream. I always add 2.5 to 2.75 cups of cream for 1 can of sweetened condensed milk as this much sweetness in the ice cream is perfect for us. If you like more sweetness in your ice cream, go for 2 cups cream with 1 can of sweetened condensed milk.
I don’t make tutti frutti at home as it is quite a tedious and time-consuming process. Hence, I purchase good quality tutti frutti from the market. Beside this Tutti Frutti Ice Cream, I also use them to make Tutti Frutti Cake and Tutti Frutti Cookies.
Why this recipe works
I found out about these easily doable 2 or 3 ingredient vanilla ice cream recipes some years back from the thekitchn.com. Since then, I have stuck to these and used it for many of my own recipe versions like this Tutti Frutti Ice Cream.
The best thing is that these ice cream recipes get done effortlessly, without any cooking or an ice cream maker. So that way, it becomes quite a hassle-free job and you don’t really have to rack your brains to make one.
Usually, I add some milk in all my ice cream recipes. But these 2 ingredient recipes are a breeze to make. Because of the ease that this method has, I’ve been using it and making vanilla ice cream with it for quite some time. Then elevated it by the addition of tutti frutti and turned it into a soft, smooth, creamy and yum Tutti Frutti Ice Cream.
This no-churn, no-cook ice cream mixture can be prepared in about 15 minutes flat. Whatever extra time that is required is for the ice cream to set nicely. Enjoy this ice cream as it is or use it as a base to make many more fun flavored ice creams. The choice is yours!
How to make Tutti Frutti Ice Cream
1. In a large bowl, take 2.5 to 2.75 cups of chilled or cold whipping cream (30% to 50% fat). Add 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. If using vanilla essence, then add 1 teaspoon of it.
2. With an electric beater at full speed, begin to whip the cream. Timing will vary depending on the fat content in the cream. You could also use a stand mixer to whip the cream.
Also, be careful while whipping and do not whip too much, as then the cream would get churned into butter.
3. Whip till stiff peaks are formed. You can also whip till soft peaks if using 25% fat cream.
4. Now, add 400 grams chilled sweetened condensed milk (400 ml or about 1.6 cups).
5. Fold gently, but very well. Remember not to overfold as then the ice cream mixture can fall flat.
6. Next, add ⅓ to ½ cup of tutti frutti.
7. Fold again.
8. Take the ice cream mixture in a box or container and cover it tightly. Or you can cover the same bowl (if its freezer safe) with a tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil.
9. Freeze till the ice cream is set.
10. Before serving, keep the ice cream box, container or bowl for some minutes at room temperature. Then, scoop and serve Tutti Frutti Ice Cream. If you want, you can sprinkle some tutti frutti on top.
Expert Tips
- Folding of the ice cream mixture has to be done gently. You must not over do the folding or mix vigorously. It will make the ice cream mixture fall flat.
- An alternative to tutti frutti is glazed cherries. Chop them into small pieces and use. Dry fruits can also be used in place of tutti frutti.
- If you are unable to get tutti frutti in stores, order online. It is easily available there.
- The cream should be whipped till stiff peaks are formed. When done perfectly, the whipped cream will not fall from the bowl turned upside down.
- Keep the Tutti Frutti Ice Cream at room temperature for about 5 to 6 minutes if you are unable to scoop the set ice cream.
