Current flavors on the board 😋 #HomemadeIceCream

Now that CuisineTech has taken Cremodan 30 off the market, I’ve updated my personal #homemadeicecream base recipe. I’ve been pretty happy with LGB and guar gum as stabilizers, but it took a while to get the amounts right.

This batch of lemon ice cream with olallieberry swirl (made from my foraged #olallieberries turned out BEAUTIFUL (and also delicious) #HomemadeIceCream

If you’re wondering, because I know you are! I’m going to try switching to 0.8g of locust bean gum and 0.4g of guar gum per 1000g of ice cream. I can no longer find CuisineTech’s excellent Cremodan 30, so need to experiment. #HomemadeIceCream

New Instagram post: Thanks to Adam getting me a second ice cream machine bucket, I can now do SWIRLS! This is an ube-vanilla swirl. #HomemadeIceCream https://instagr.am/p/CtApZ2exLzl/

Finished product. First mint batch of the season! #HomemadeIceCream #MintChip

I don’t use artificial coloring in my ice creams but it means my mint chip (made with fresh mint) looks kind of like split pea soup when I cook it 💚#homemadeicecream

Ice cream flavor board looking good this week #HomemadeIceCream 🍨

I just churned up some butterscotch ice cream with Grapenuts, so it will be ready by tonight, it really is my favorite combination that I've made up. #HomemadeIceCream

Also, if there are only like 4 ingredients (milk, cream, sugar, flavoring agent), it's not going to be very good. Ice cream needs other emulsifying and stabilizing agents to give it the right texture. My own personal recipe includes things like egg yolks and skim milk powder to get what is the optimal texture I like (a little "chewy" but also scoopable right out of the freezer). This has been today's edition of "my opinions on #HomemadeIceCream"

PSA: Don’t make ice cream from a random recipe on the internet, there are a lot of really terrible recipes out there. When I started making #HomemadeIceCream, a lot of people told me they “don’t usually like homemade ice cream because it’s [too hard/weird texture/weak flavors/etc.]” and it’s probably because they used a bad recipe. “No churn” recipes are especially terrible. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, just BUY some high-quality ice cream!

This is “Blue Moon,” which is apparently a regional favorite in the Midwest, and tastes kind of like Froot Loops milk. It’s supposed to be more like “Smurf blue,” but I didn’t have the more powerful gel food coloring on hand. The recipe included raspberry and lemon flavorings. #HomemadeIceCream

Good variety of #HomemadeIceCream flavors on the flavor board right now 🍨😋

Just made my first batch of homemade ice cream - raspberry ripple.
(Used a Breville Smart Scoop - so easy).
