choosing the right base for creamy
0:01
texture the foundation of homemade ice
0:04
cream is a well balanced base a
0:06
combination of heavy cream and whole
0:08
milk provides a rich creamy texture
0:11
sweetened condensed milk can also be
0:13
used to enhance smoothness and prevent
0:15
iciness a custard-based mixture with egg
0:18
yolks results in a luxurious consistency
0:21
while egg-free options like sweetened
0:23
cream work well for lighter ice creams
0:26
sweetening and flavoring the mixture
0:28
sugar plays a crucial role in softening
0:31
the ice cream and preventing it from
0:32
freezing too hard granulated sugar honey
0:36
or maple syrup can be used for sweetness
0:39
flavorings such as vanilla extract cocoa
0:41
powder or fruit purees can be added
0:43
directly to the mixture for more depth
0:46
infusing ingredients like cinnamon
0:48
sticks coffee beans or fresh mint leaves
0:51
enhances the base before freezing
0:53
whipping the mixture for air
0:55
incorporation since an ice cream maker
0:57
typically churns to create a light
0:59
texture
1:00
manual methods require extra air
1:02
incorporation using a hand mixer or
1:05
whisk whip the base until slightly
1:07
thickened if making a no churn version
1:10
whipping heavy cream to soft peaks
1:12
before folding in sweet and condensed
1:14
milk creates a smooth Airy texture
1:16
similar to store-bought ice cream
1:18
freezing in a shallow dish for faster
1:21
cooling transferring the mixture to a
1:23
shallow freezer safe dish helps speed up
1:26
freezing metal containers work best as
1:28
they conduct cold quickly preventing
1:30
large ice crystals from forming placing
1:33
a sheet of plastic wrapped directly on
1:35
the surface prevents ice from developing
1:37
on top ensuring a creamy
1:39
consistency stirring every 30 minutes
1:42
for a smooth texture without an ice
1:44
cream maker periodic stirring is
1:46
essential every 30 minutes use a fork or
1:49
spatula to break up ice crystals and mix
1:51
the Frozen edges into the softer Center
1:54
repeating this process for 3 to 4 hours
1:57
creates a smoother texture by evenly
1:59
Distributing Frozen sections and
2:01
incorporating air using the plastic bag
2:04
method for quick freezing an alternative
2:06
method involves placing the ice cream
2:08
mixture in a small zip top bag and
2:10
sealing it tightly this bag is then
2:13
placed inside a larger bag filled with
2:15
ice and salt shaking the bags vigorously
2:18
for 5 to 10 minutes helps freeze the
2:20
mixture quickly creating instant ice
2:23
cream with a soft serve
2:24
consistency blending for extra
2:27
smoothness before serving for an ultra
2:29
creamy texture blending the ice cream
2:31
once it's fully Frozen can remove any
2:34
remaining ice crystals using a food
2:36
processor or blender pulse the Frozen
2:38
mixture until smooth this step helps
2:41
mimic the effects of commercial churning
2:43
resulting in a richer silkier ice cream
2:46
enhancing flavor with mixins and swirls
2:50
to customize the ice cream mixins like
2:52
chocolate chips crushed cookies or fruit
2:54
compost can be added during the final
2:56
hour of freezing swirling caramel peanut
2:59
butter butter or fruit jams into the
3:01
semi Frozen mixture creates ribbons of
3:03
flavor freezing for another hour allows
3:06
the mixins to blend seamlessly without
3:08
sinking to the bottom storing for best
3:11
texture and flavor homemade ice cream is
3:14
best enjoyed within a week for optimal
3:16
texture storing it in an airtight
3:18
container prevents freezer burn and
3:20
preserves freshness pressing a layer of
3:23
parchment paper onto the surface before
3:25
sealing the lid helps maintain a creamy
3:28
consistency by blocking air exposure
3:31
softening before scooping for the best
3:33
experience since homemade ice cream
3:35
tends to freeze harder than store-bought
3:37
versions letting it sit at room
3:39
temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before
3:41
scooping makes serving easier running
3:43
the scoop under warm water also helps
3:45
creat smooth perfect Scoops for Sunday
