Can you make ice cream without an ice cream maker?
Comments (8)You can also do it the really old fashioned way -- the same method that has long been used to make sorbet. Just pour the mixture into a baking dish, and set that into your freezer. Also, you will need a heavy glass or metal bowl, an electric hand mixer, and a bowl of ice big enough for the first bowl to sit in. Put the heavy glass or metal bowl and the beater attachments for the hand mixer into the freezer at the same time as the ice cream mix to chill them. When its almost but not quite fully frozen, use a fork to break it up into small lumps about the size of a nickle or a little less. Then put it back into the freezer about 10 minutes to set up a bit again. Now, working as quickly as possible, take the pre-chilled heavy bowl out of the freezer,and set it in a bath of ice cubes in the 2nd larger bowl. Quickly transfer the ice cream mixture into the chilled bowl, and beat it as much as possible with the electric mixer ONLY until the lumps are broken up, and it begins to whip up a bit. Then, back into the freezer for another 15 to 30 minutes, until its not at all "melty" but still a little soft. Repeat the beating/whipping process several times -- the idea is to whip as much air into it to make it creamy and fluffy as possible, without melting it too much at each whipping. The chilled bowl, the ice bath, and the chilled beaters help, but beware that the very act of beating it creates friction between the bowl and beaters, which makes heat, so this process is a balancing act between beating in air and melting the ice cream. Done right, which isn't at all hard to do with just a little practice, this method does work, albeit it will never be quite as fluffy as commercial ice creams you are used to, which not only incorporate a large volume of air into the mix using specialized equipment, but which also generally use gums and stabilizers which prevents the product from melting and turning liquid as fast as a pure, cream and milk only product will. Good luck....See MoreMaking ice cream again but have the wrong egg substitute
Comments (4)First, how many eggs? How many does the recipe call for? Secondly, is raw egg safe in ice cream? Now, you're going to get a lot of different, possibly contentious answers. I put raw eggs in my ice cream regularly, but I have my own small flock of hens and I know what they eat, that they are healthy, how the eggs were stored, how old they are, where they are from. If I were using commercial eggs, there's always that chance of salmonella. It's not a very big chance and we've had a discussion on it recently, but it's still a chance. My feeling is that if you are a healthy adult, I'd go for it. I wouldn't probably feed it to my baby or my elderly and ill grandmother, just because they are less capable of fighting off any possible "icky" things. Of course, for the record, I also eat raw beef, even ground beef, and I know that's frowned upon too. Again, I raise the beef and I know who processes it for me, so I have more control than many.

Comments (7)Some folks, like my mom, only make ice cream with a custard base. Mom thinks anything else is not worth eating. I, being the modern, cutting-edge, foodista (that's a joke folks!), have made ice cream with such exotic ingredients as Greek yogurt, eschewing a cooked custard base. Below is a cooked custard recipe from The Kitchn: Basic Custard Ice Cream Base 3 cups dairy (whole milk, heavy cream, or a mix) 1 cup sugar 8 egg yolks pinch of salt 1 teaspoon vanilla (optional) Have a strainer in a bowl ready over an ice bath. Bring the dairy to a simmer in a medium pot over medium-high heat--about 5 minutes. Watch it carefully so it doesn't boil over. Remove from heat as soon as you see bubbles forming and let sit until it's cooled to room temperature--about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, beat the eggs, sugar, and pinch of salt into a thick paste. When the dairy has cooled, stream it in while stirring the egg mixture. Once combined, return everything to the pan and cook over medium-low heat. Stir gently in an "S" shape, being sure to scrape the bottom of the pan. The sauce is ready when it looks silky, has thickened so it coats the back of a wooden spoon, and has reached a temperature of about 170-degrees. Strain it into a bowl set over an ice water bath and stir in the vanilla. When cooled, freeze mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Comments (13)Let's see what it does on Mr. Bader himself. Or, wait -- is that it? He's 60-ish, and doesn't look any better than most others in that age group. I didn't know about this product either, but anything with such gushing "reviews" makes my skeptic radar go off. It's way out of my price range as well....See MoreMaWizz
