ICe CREAM????

Question

The French Vanilla Ice cream Recipe says:

3) Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more. Pour in the cream, milk, and vanilla and whisk to blend.
4) Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer's instructions.


Now when it says to transfer mixture into an ice cream maker, what happens. I don't have a ice cream maker, so how can I do it my self. I don't have the budget for the ice cream maker so what does the ice cream maker do, and how do I do it.

Answer 1

Generally, the ice cream maker turns the mixture so that all of the mixture hits the cold sides.

You could use the freezer, and pull it out and stir it every 10 - 15 minutes.

But generally, if you can't afford a new ice cream maker ( new I have seen as low as $20) - you could see if you can find a used one.

Generally, though, I wouldn't try to make the ice cream if you don't have the ice cream maker, just purchase a really good quality ice cream.

Answer 2

The ice cream maker slowly freezes the mixture so the sugar crystals have time to properly dissolve and incorporate into the mixture while allowing it to remain creamy. If you just stick t into the freezer, it will turn into a solid mass. If you don't have an ice cream maker, look no further than your pantry. Grab a small coffee can and put your ingredients into it, now put the lid on. Grab a larger coffee can and set the smaller one inside of it. Pack ice and salt in around the smaller can and put the lid on top of the large can. Now go play kick the can for about 15-20 minutes and you should have perfectly mixed, frozen, creamy ice cream. An alternative to this method is to use a large coffee can for the ingredients and a small metal trash can with a tight fitting lid to put it inside of. same process just a different vessel. Don't use a plastic container because it will break and it doesn't hold the cold very well at all.

Answer 3

I am a bit worried about your step 3) where you seem to be wisking the sugar into nothing, however, you can duplicate the icecream maker by placing the mixture in an ice box or freezer and stirring it at regular intervals, and I do mean regular, until it sets...

Answer 4

without it it will just be a frozen cream like a cube of ice.
the machine does what an oven does to a cookie dough to make cookies
