What is Cut Ice Cream?
It is an ice cream that is presented in a rectangular block and served in portions. It is characterized by having several layers of flavors (usually three) that combine visually and in flavor. It is a very popular dessert in many countries, especially during the summer.
Traditional flavors are usually:
🍓Frutilla (strawberry)
🍦Vanilla
🍫Chocolate
But you can customize it as you prefer: dulce de leche, coffee, pistachio, lemon… creativity is welcome!
Base ingredients for the 3 flavors
The recipe uses a common ice cream base that is then divided into three servings to add the flavors. Here is a machineless version:
Ingredients:
500 ml whipping cream (single cream)
1 can of condensed milk (approx. 395 g)
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
100 g strawberry puree or strawberry jam
Preparation step by step
Preparation
Beat the cream until firm (smooth peak).
Add the condensed milk and mix with wrap-around movements.
Divide the mixture into 3 equal parts:
To one part, add the cocoa and mix (chocolate).
To another, add the vanilla essence.
To the last one, add the strawberry or jam puree (fruilla).
In a rectangular mold lined with film, first place the strawberry mixture, straighten, then the vanilla, and finally the chocolate.
Cover well and take to the freezer for at least 6 hours or until it is firmly.
Once ready, unmold, cut into portions and serve. You can also put it between two cookies for a classic frozen sandwich!
Tips to make it perfect
Use cold cream to make it fit better.
If you do not have strawberry puree, you can use jam or natural essence.
I added pieces of chocolate, nuts or fruits if you want a more gourmet version.
Store it in an airtight container to prevent it from taking flavors of the freezer.
Ideal for the whole family
Homemade 3 flavors cut ice cream is perfect for birthdays, Sunday desserts, outdoor snacks or just to have in the freezer ready when you want to give yourself a taste. It is economical, surrendering and you can prepare it with or without the help of the youngest, who are sure to enjoy the process.
