When it comes to TikTok recipes we always have this one burning question.. Is it really good and worthy enough to try?? I have shared my personal experience in the recipe card so definitely check that out.
Ingredients needed:
- Ice-Cream: Egg based (Custard) Ice-Cream works best for this recipe. But you can use any other variety of ice-cream too. I have used Eggless Vanilla Ice-Cream making the recipe suitable for everyone.
- Self-Rising Flour - You can substitute it with regular flour. But you will have to add baking powder to the recipe then.
- Blueberries - Fresh or frozen; both works well.
Step by Step Tutorial
In a mixing bowl, take the ice-cream and smash it using the back of your wooden spoon to form a semi-solid or soft serve kind of consistency (image 1-2).
Add in the self-rising flour. Give it a mix (image 3-4). And when you still see some bits of flour left out that is when you add your blueberries (image 4-5).
Combine everything until just mixed (image 6).
Transfer it to a muffin pan lined with parchment paper cups or cupcake liners.
Or you can also directly bake it in the muffin pan itself. Just remember to grease it with oil before adding the batter so that it is easy to unmould the muffins once baked.
Divide the batter between 6 cupcake liners and bake in a pre-heated oven of 180°C for 30-35 mins or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
How easy was that right??
That is the best part of Tiktok recipes then be it Chocolate Pop it, Baked Oats or Baked Pasta - all the recipes shared on the platform are super easy to make.
Allow it to sit in the pan itself for few mins before transferring it to wire rack to cool completely.
Storage Instructions:
Once cooled, stored in an air tight container at room temperature for 2 days.
You can also freeze them for up to a month. Before serving warm in the microwave for few seconds.
Baker's Tips:
- The ice-cream has to be at the right consistency. Too liquidy then the batter would become to runny. If frozen then you won't be able to prepare the muffin batter itself.
- Using a spoon to smash the ice-cream does the trick. Get it to a semi-solid consistency.
- At no cost, over-mix the batter. If you see some bits of flour left out it is ok. But over-mixing would result in tough muffins.
- Line the muffin tray with parchment paper cups or cupcake liners for easy unmoulding.
- Adding lemon zest and lemon glaze would further enhance the taste of the muffins.
Recipe FAQ's
Just like any other muffins, these also turn out to be spongy, soft and light. However since ice-cream is the only form of sweetener in this recipe, I felt the recipe to be lacking a bit of sweetness which can be adjusted by adding a simple lemon glaze on top. More on that in the recipe card.
Use your favourite brand of vanilla ice-cream. If you consume eggs, then I would recommend you go for custard (egg based) Vanilla Ice-Cream for optimum results.
You might have over-mixed the batter. Mix until it is just combined. It is ok to see few bits of flour in the batter. Feel free to download this ebook that has more baking tips and tricks.
Yes I think the recipe should work with any other berries of choice. Even nuts or chocolate chips should work. But bear in mind that berries tend their own sweetness or tartness to the recipe so if using anything else you might have to use sugar syrup to go on top.
