Instructions
Add 1 cup of non-whipping dairy cream to a large mixing bowl. Keep the bowl of cream and the beater blades in the deep freezer for 20 minutes. Note - The chilled cream will whisk quickly and have more volume. You can use any brand of cream - tropolite, mactop, or amul fresh cream.
Take ¼ cup each of cashew nuts and raisins in a bowl and soak them for five minutes.
After five minutes, transfer them to a plate and pat dry the nuts. There should be no moisture in the nuts.
Cut them into pieces and keep them aside for later use.
Into a grinding jar, add 12 pieces of cashew nuts and grind them into a smooth powder.
Add ¼ cup of raw full-fat cream milk and blend it again.
Add 1 cup of raw full-fat cream milk, ¼ cup of sugar, ½ tbsp of corn flour, ¼ cup of milk powder, a pinch of salt, and the prepared cashew nut mixture into a pan. Use a whisk and mix all the ingredients well, and ensure no lumps in the mixture. Note 1 - The gas flame should be off at this stage. Note 2 - Suggest you use Amul Gold or Amul Gold Extra Cream tetra pack and not the milk you get in the bag.
Stir continuously and cook on a low to medium flame until the mixture thickens slightly. It should take around 7 to 10 minutes.
Stir continuously and cool the mixture. Add ¼ cup of condensed milk and mix it well. Keep aside for later use. Note - This method prevents the formation of a layer of cream over the mixture and ice crystals in the ice cream.
Attach the chilled blades to the beater.
Whip the chilled cream at the speed of one.
Whip the cream until soft peaks form.
Add the prepared mixture.
Whip again at the speed of one until soft ribbon-like peaks form.
Add half of the cashew nuts and raisins into the mixture, and mix it gently with the spatula, or use the cut-and-fold method to mix.
Transfer the mixture to a plastic container and garnish it with the remaining cashew nuts and raisins. Cover it tightly with the cling film (so no ice crystals are formed on the ice cream).
Keep the container in the deep freezer for 6 to 7 hours or overnight. Note - It depends on the temperature of your fridge. And how your freezer has other things stuffed inside. No ice crystals will form in the ice cream if it sets faster. You can always increase the freezer temperature to high to freeze the ice cream quickly.
