cream, sugar, vanilla, fruit is optional. You add salt to the ice because it lowers the freezing point of the ice, therefore making it colder.Does anyone know how to make homemade ice cream by hand? Discuss scientifically why we add salt to the ice?
Here are a few recipes. If you are doing by hand without machine, freeze the chilled custard in a freezer safe container without cover for 1 to 2 hours. Then take out and use a fork to stir the custards and refreeze for another 1 to 2 hours. Repeat the process 2 more times and cover until freezes.








CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM





Ingredients:


1 cup sugar


3 large eggs


1 cup cocoa powder


1陆 cups milk


1 cup heavy cream


1 teaspoon vanilla extract





Preparation:


1. Place the sugar, eggs, and cocoa in a food processor and blend until smooth.





2. Bring the milk to boil in a heavy medium saucepan. With the food processor running, slowly pour the hot milk into the chocolate mixture through the feed tube. Process until well blended. Pour the entire mixture back into the pan and place over low heat. Stir constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon until the custard thickens slightly. Be careful not to let the mixture boil or the eggs will scramble. Remove from the heat and pour the hot chocolate custard through a strainer into a large, clean bowl. Allow the custard to cool slightly, then stir in the cream and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate until cold or overnight.





3. Stir the chilled custard, then freeze in 1 or 2 batches in your ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.





When finished, the ice cream will be soft but ready to eat. For firmer ice cream, transfer to the freezer-safe container and freeze at least 2 hours.











CINNAMON ICE CREAM, PHILADELPHIA STYLE





Ingredients:


3 cups light cream


2/3 cup sugar


录 teaspoon vanilla extract


1 teaspoon ground cinnamon





Preparation:


1. Heat the cream in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat until small bubbles appear around the edge. Do not let the cream boil. Remove from the heat, add the sugar, and stir until it is completely dissolved. Whisk in the vanilla and cinnamon. Cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until cold or overnight. The cinnamon will rise to the top, but don't worry: it will incorporate into the ice cream while it freezes.





2. Stir the chilled custard, then freeze in 1 or 2 batches in your ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.





When finished, the ice cream will be soft but ready to eat. For firmer ice cream, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze at least 2 hours.
