Creator Hetal Barvadiya (@hetal_diy_queen) has shared a quirky hack showing how to make homemade ice cream using a ceiling fan. True to her DIY-loving persona, she’s known for experimenting with creative ideas, but this one still caught attention, amassing more than 2 million likes! After all, seeing a ceiling fan and ice cream in the same frame is enough to make anyone curious.
In the video, she starts by heating milk and mixing in ice cream premix along with sugar in a large vessel. Once everything is well combined, she lets the mixture cool before transferring it into a container with a lid. This container is then placed in a tub filled with ice and salt.
Next comes the unusual part: she ties a rope to the ceiling fan and attaches the other end to the container filled with the ice cream mixture. She switches the fan on and lets it slowly churn the mixture while she goes about her work. The result? Perfectly churned homemade ice cream that honestly looks too good to miss.
