Techniques
Optionally chill the bowls and ingredients in the freezer 10 to 15 minutes.
Choosing and chilling the bowls
  • ice
  • 1 parts kosher salt
  • 4 parts ice
Fill the outer bowl halfway with ice and stir in roughly one part salt to four parts ice.
Salting the ice
  • 475 ml cream
  • 235 ml evaporated milk
  • 150 g sugar
  • vanilla
Nest the inner bowl in the ice; add cream, evaporated milk, sugar and vanilla.
Adding the cream, milk, sugar and vanilla
Beat with a hand mixer on the lowest setting 8 to 10 minutes, working the edges and clearing anything frozen to the walls, until it stops getting stiffer or colder.
Put the whole rig in the freezer for about an hour; if it does not fit, freeze the inner bowl and recharge the outer bowl with fresh ice.
Beat again a few minutes until it deflates and starts to melt, scraping the walls with a spoon; about three minutes.
Quickly transfer to a lidded freezer-safe container and harden in the freezer 24 hours.
Hardening and tasting
  • sprinkles
Serve with sprinkles.
