I make no churn ice creams on repeat during summers. To tell you guys the truth, I do have an ice cream attachment with my stand mixer and I have used it in the past. But mostly, I am just lazy to take it out and prepare the base and chill it. So, when the ice cream craving kicks in, I want to make it immediately and since no churn ice creams are so easy, I always end up making them. Sarvesh has been requesting me for quite a while now to make Kaju Kishmish Ice Cream Kaju=cashews and kishmish=raisins. This is a commonly available flavor in India and one that he really loved as a child. I don’t remember being very fond of this flavor and hence I didn’t even remember how it was supposed to taste. But I thought of using the base recipe for no churn ice cream and then making a quick mawa/khoya (using cream and milk powder) and then adding cashews and raisins to it. I am not sure how close it turned out to the kaju kishmish ice cream in India but Sarvesh said, this was his favorite ice cream of the season so far. He rated it higher than the Kesar Elaichi Ice Cream and also the Butterscotch Ice Cream! Since he loved it so much, I had to share the recipe with you guys!
This Kaju Kishmish Ice Cream
✔is eggless and no churn. ✔made without an ice cream maker. ✔gets done in 15 minutes! ✔makes a unique ice cream flavor to enjoy this summer! This ice cream has a lot of added flavor from the quick mawa/khoya made from the milk powder and cream. It makes it so much richer in taste and also adds to flavor. For the instant mawa, I mix the cream and milk powder until combined and I don’t really cook it much since I am not going to use this mawa for making any sweets. So once the milk powder and cream is mixed, add in the cashews and raisins and cook them for around 2 to 3 minutes. And that’s about it, let this raisins and cashew mixture cool down a bit and then add it to the ice cream base. It’s a little extra-step but it really make a difference.
Ingredients for the Ice Cream
This recipes uses 5 basic ingredients, 6 if you count the vanilla! Heavy cream: you need heavy cream with minimum fat percentage of 35% to make no-churn ice creams. Do not use low fat cream here, it will not work and your ice cream will not be creamy enough. Condensed milk: the sweetened condensed milk makes the perfect pair with the heavy cream for the no-churn ice cream. The combination of heavy cream and milk powder results in an ice cream which is creamy and has no crystals. The recipe uses a 14 oz can of condensed milk, however you can add a little less if you prefer your ice cream to be not very sweet. I would suggest adding 75% of the can in the that case. Cashews: for this recipe, I have used unsalted, raw cashews. I roughly chopped them before using in the recipe. Raisins: the other star ingredients of this recipe is raisin. I have used golden raisins here, the black raisins should also work. Milk powder: we need milk powder here for the quick mawa recipe that we make for the ice cream base. My recommendation for dried milk powder is always Nestle Nido. It’s a smooth milk powder which works very well for not only this ice cream but also for Indian sweets like this chocolate burfi. The last ingredient for this ice cream is vanilla extract. Do use pure vanilla extract for best results. If you want, you can even add some ground cardamom here. I really wanted to add it but Sarvesh told me the one in India didn’t have any cardamom in it so I skipped it.
Freezing the Ice Cream
Use an ice cream container to freeze it. I like a silicone one that I have. I also like to cover mine with a plastic wrap first and then cover with a lid. This helps prevent freezer burn. Freeze overnight for best results. This ice cream becomes quite solid when frozen, so leave it out for 10 minutes at room temperature before serving. Serve in bowls or waffles cones (that’s my favorite) and enjoy!
