Delicious Grape Nut Ice Cream Recipe - Authentic Jamaican Treat

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup Grape Nuts cereal
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup milk (whole milk works best)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Prepare the Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract.

    Use a whisk to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Add Grape Nuts

    Stir in the Grape Nuts cereal and a pinch of salt into the mixture.

    Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the Grape Nuts to soften slightly.
  3. Incorporate Milk

    Gradually add the milk to the mixture, stirring continuously until smooth.

    You can adjust the amount of milk based on your desired consistency.
  4. Add Lemon Juice (Optional)

    If using, add lemon juice to the mixture and mix well.

    This will enhance the flavor and add a hint of freshness.
  5. Chill the Mixture

    Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours.

    Chilling helps the flavors meld together.
  6. Freeze the Ice Cream

    Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

    If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a container and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours.
  7. Serve

    Once the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze until firm.

    Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping for easier serving.
