Classic Vanilla Ice Cream Base

Who doesn't love vanilla? Vanilla is a timeless favourite and forms the foundation for many other flavours. To prepare this base, blend milk, cream, sugar, and a few drops of pure vanilla extract in the Usha Food Processor. The processor ensures a consistent mix, dissolving the sugar completely and creating a smooth, creamy texture. You can use this base as-is or add ingredients like chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit to create new flavours. Using the Usha Food Processor not only saves time but also ensures that the base is perfectly blended, eliminating the need for extra tools.

Chocolate Ice Cream Base

Rich, creamy, and indulgent, chocolate ice cream is a must-try for any dessert lover. The Usha Food Processor can quickly blend melted dark chocolate, cocoa powder, cream, and sugar into a smooth, decadent mixture. Its powerful motor ensures that the chocolate is evenly distributed, giving you a luscious, uniform ice cream base. You can even add a hint of coffee or caramel to enhance the flavour. The Usha Food Processor makes sure that your chocolate base is well-mixed without lumps, ensuring a smooth, velvety texture in every bite.

Fruit Sorbet Base

For those who prefer a lighter, fruit-based treat, a sorbet is the perfect choice. With the Usha Food Processor, you can blend fresh fruits like mangoes, strawberries, or watermelon with sugar and a bit of water to create a refreshing sorbet base. The processor’s pulse function allows you to control the texture, ensuring that the fruit is finely pureed without becoming too watery. 

Unlike traditional ice cream, sorbets are dairy-free, making them a great option for those who are lactose intolerant or prefer a vegan treat. The Usha Food Processor’s efficiency guarantees that your sorbet base is smooth and packed with the natural flavours of fresh fruit.

Coconut Milk Ice Cream Base

Coconut milk ice cream is a delicious dairy-free alternative that’s rich and creamy. This base can be made by blending coconut milk, sugar, and a touch of vanilla or coconut extract. Using the Usha Food Processor, you can achieve a smooth and even blend, ensuring that the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is creamy. The Usha Food Processor makes it easy to experiment with additional flavours, like adding cocoa powder for a chocolate version or some pureed mango for a tropical twist. The result is a velvety, dairy-free ice cream that is sure to satisfy your cravings.

Yogurt Ice Cream (Frozen Yogurt) Base

Frozen yoghurt is a healthier alternative to traditional ice cream, and making it at home is a breeze with the Usha Food Processor. Simply mix yoghurt, a bit of honey or sugar, and your choice of fruit. The Usha Food Processor will blend the ingredients to a creamy consistency, perfect for freezing. It is especially great for making strawberry, blueberry, or peach frozen yoghurt, as it thoroughly blends the fruits without leaving chunks unless you prefer them that way. The Usha Food Processor helps control the sweetness and flavour, customizing your frozen yoghurt to suit your taste.

Nut-Based Ice Cream Base

Nut-based ice creams, like almond or cashew, are rich, creamy, and full of flavour. To make this base, soak nuts (such as almonds or cashews) overnight, then blend them with water, sugar, and a bit of vanilla in the Usha Food Processor. The powerful blades of the processor can finely grind the nuts, creating a smooth, creamy texture that forms the base of your ice cream. You can also experiment by adding cocoa powder, maple syrup, or other flavourings. The Usha Food Processor makes sure that the nut mixture is fully blended, resulting in a smooth, satisfying ice cream that is both dairy-free and nutritious.
