xiphiasIf one wants ice cream during Pesach, and one does not wish to wrestle with figuring out what is or is not kosher for Pesach in ice cream in the store, and one has decided NOT to bother with changing dishes this year, but one DOES have an ice cream maker, and one feels comfortable using said ice cream maker during Pesach, then one can make one's own ice cream.
Butterscotch ice cream. Which I more-or-less made by making butterscotch, then ice-cream-machining it.
I mean, butterscotch is basically brown sugar dissolved and cooked into cream, right?
Effectively, I made butterscotch, but with more cream and almost no butter -- just enough to kick it right over into "definitely butterscotch" flavor, from "nearly butterscotch". Also, I used vanilla sugar, because I don't use vanilla extract during Pesach. (The "extract" medium is alcohol, which is almost certainly grain neutral spirits. In the United States, that means it's probably maize, which is kitnyot and not chametz, so I'd normally be comfortable having it, but it very well could also include be wheat or barley, which definitely IS chametz, so I stay away from extracts.) That allowed me to finish off our vanilla sugar and our brown sugar.
After Pesach, I'll buy another couple vanilla beans and start another thing of vanilla sugar.
I then added about an equal amount of milk into it, because I find that pure cream tends to make an ice cream that feels greasy.
Then I put it in our ice cream machine. Which is a small cheap one, but reasonably effective. It's got a bowl that you keep in the freezer, and the bowl is double-walled with some sort of ice-pack-sort-of-material in between the walls, so it stays ice-cream-cold, rather than just normal-freezer-cold. Then you put your stuff into the bowl, and put it on the base, and put the lid on it. The lid holds a paddle in place, and the motor on the base spins the bowl around. And eventually, you have ice cream.
Butterscotch ice cream. Yummy, Pesadich (if you ignore that we use the ice cream machine during non-Pesach, too) butterscotch ice cream.
