INGREdIENTS
Home made ice cream is now easy to make
at home and with only kitchen ingredients
required to make a basic vanilla ice cream.
EGGS
All the recipes in this book were tested
using standard large eggs. The egg gives
ice cream volume, stabilizes and emulsifies
the mixture. The yolk of the egg contains
lecithin, which acts as an emulsifier to bond
with the fat globules.
NOTE
Avoid using older eggs, especially
if you are not cooking the mixture.
Pregnant women are not advised
to consume ice cream containing
raw eggs.
SUGAR
Granulated sugar was used in all the
recipes as it dissolves easily and to reduce
crystallization (when large ice crystals
form) from occurring.
As a general rule, when it comes to sugar
in ice cream, more sugar added will lower
the freezing point of the water inside the
mixture, which prevents your frozen dessert
from forming a large hard clump that is
difficult to scoop.
MILK
Whole milk was used for all milk based
recipes. Lower fat varieties can be
substituted but the same result will not be
achieved.
CREAM
Heavy cream was used in all the recipes,
creams that are thickened usually have
additives such as gelatine (of animal origin
to thicken and prolong the creams life).
The cream gives fattiness and a smoother
texture to the ice cream.
