What's a good fresh tasting summer recipe for homemade ice cream using cilantro and how can I easily make it without an ice cream maker? I also have a broken wrist, so shaking a bag of stuff isn't an option either.<|im_end|>

Here is a recipe for a fresh-tasting cilantro ice cream that doesn't require an ice cream maker:

Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/2 cup lime juice

Instructions:
1. In a blender, puree the cilantro leaves and lime juice until smooth.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the puree, heavy cream, and sweetened condensed milk.
3. Pour the mixture into a 9x5-inch loaf pan and cover with plastic wrap.
4. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
5. When ready to serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften before scooping.

This recipe is perfect for anyone who doesn't have an ice cream maker or can't shake a bag of ice and ingredients due to a broken wrist. Enjoy!<|im_end|>

Thanks! That sounds like a yummy recipe! Are there any ways to make ice cream that don't involve so much mixing though?<|im_end|>

Yes, there is! One way to make ice cream without an ice cream maker is to use a blender or food processor. Here's an alternative recipe that involves less mixing:

Ingredients:

    1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
    2 cups heavy cream
    1 tablespoon lime juice
    1 tablespoon grated lime zest

Instructions:

1. In a blender or food processor, combine the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and cilantro leaves. Puree until the cilantro is finely chopped and well blended with the other ingredients.

2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks.

3. Fold in the cilantro mixture, lime juice, and lime zest until well combined.

4. Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until firm.

5. When ready to serve, let the ice cream soften at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.

This recipe yields a creamy, fresh-tasting ice cream with a subtle cilantro flavor.<|im_end|>

Thanks, my wrist is doing a bit better now. 
Do you think adding coriander seeds will enhance the cilantro flavor of the ice cream? How should I process the coriander seeds if I want their flavors in my ice cream, since adding the seeds directly obviously isn't an option?<|im_end|>

I'm glad to hear your wrist is improving!

Adding coriander seeds can indeed enhance the cilantro flavor in your ice cream. Coriander seeds have a slightly different flavor profile from cilantro leaves, with a warmer, more citrusy taste. To incorporate the coriander seed flavor into your ice cream, you can do the following:

    Toast the coriander seeds: Place a small skillet over medium heat and add the coriander seeds (1-2 tablespoons, depending on how strong you want the flavor). Toast the seeds for a few minutes, shaking the skillet occasionally, until they become fragrant and slightly darker in color. Be careful not to burn them.

    Grind the seeds: Once the seeds have cooled, grind them into a fine powder using a spice grinder or a mortar and pestle. If you don't have either of these, you can place the seeds in a Ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin or a heavy object, like a can.

    Infuse the milk and cream: In a saucepan, combine the ground coriander seeds, whole milk, and heavy cream. Heat the mixture over low heat until it's steaming but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching. Remove from heat and let the mixture steep for about 15-30 minutes to allow the coriander flavor to infuse.

    Strain the mixture: Pour the milk and cream mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the coriander seed powder. Discard the solids.

    Continue with the recipe: Proceed with the rest of the ice cream recipe, using the infused milk and cream mixture in place of the plain milk and cream. If you want an even stronger cilantro flavor, you can also add more cilantro juice to taste.

This process should give your ice cream a lovely coriander seed flavor that complements the cilantro juice. Enjoy!<|im_end|>
