Most of them have some sort of cover to hold the stirring blade. That makes it easy to pour into the machine. So attach the stirring blade to the motor before putting the lid on the freezing unit. The base will start getting thick, and begin to look like cookie dough. We like to add grams of macadamia nuts, and we stir them in at the end.
Remember, your ice cream will initially have the consistency of cookie dough so you can easily stir it around. We also found that whole macadamia nuts freeze really, really solid! Not too many, but enough to get a bite of nuts each time. We also are going to try salted nuts. For things like raspberry, peach or strawberry ice cream you can stir in your pieces of fruit at the end the same way. The above recipe, minus the cocoa powder makes an excellent generic cream base.
Alton Brown once again tells us that you can substitute preserves for sugar in a ratio. So for raspberry ice cream, we chose 1 Cup a small jar of seedless raspberry jam.
Using the 2-to-1 ratio of Whipping Cream to Whole Milk works very well. All in all, this is some seriously good stuff, Maynard! But we DO get to mess with our own mixtures and flavors. Also, we can play with things like peach-mango, raspberry-strawberry and vanilla-chocolate-swirl. They taste awful! But with some small Rubbermaid, Glad or Ziploc 1-cup containers, we can make our own.
Just swirl in some chocolate syrup after scooping the soft ice cream into the small containers. You can find lots of OTHER kinds of recipes for ice cream, but it seemed to us that it was hard finding a plain chocolate ice cream recipe. Oh, and by the way…you can use unsweetened pieces of hard chocolate, melted into the base if you want. Comment by Judy — September 24, pm Reply. Chocolate milk has a fair amount of sugar on its own, so that would change the amount of plain sugar added to the base.
Also, in order to get a nice rich chocolate flavor, you likely would end up using more milk and less cream. All the recipes we looked at and tried render a fine, rich, creamy ice cream with a deep and rich chocolate flavor.
To get that amount of flavor really does, I believe, require adding chocolate as a separate ingredient. Comment by Punchinello — September 25, pm Reply. RSS feed for comments on this post.

Also, mixing will break up any possible ice crystals , ensuring a less gritty, more smooth ice cream. There are a lot of ways to add flavours to ice creams. You can add purees, syrups, pieces of cookies or chocolate for instance as you will see in the recipe at the bottom of this post. A slightly more subtle way to add flavour though is by infusing some of the flavour into the milk and cream.
You can infuse flavour into these by heating them up and adding the ingredient that you want to infuse e. Because of the higher temperature, molecules move faster and those flavour molecules transfer into the milk and cream. Since cream contains quite a lot of fat, both molecules that dissolve well in water and those that dissolve well in fat, will move into the liquid mixture.
If you would only use water a lot of flavour molecules might not be extracted well. You can make a perfectly fine ice cream by just mixing cream, milk and sugar and churning this in an ice cream machine. The aforementioned flavour infusion is one of the reasons to do this. It will help transfer flavour. Also, at these higher temperatures any sugar will dissolve a lot more quickly. Another important reason though, is one that may sound familiar to yogurt makers. Boiling them will denature the proteins causing them to unfold.
Instead, they prefer sitting on some of that fat of the cream. This helps is making a better quality ice cream. This recipe comes from the book Hello, my name is ice cream a great book if you like making ice cream. It turned out just great!

Yesterday, I got the opportunity to finally use it. I needed something to do to make my mind off The Hunger Games movie. I have been waiting patiently over the weekend for my friends to return from their weekend out, since we decided we all will watch the movie together.
And making ice cream helped. Instead of using a custard base, I thought I would go with the Philadelphia style of making ice cream- the eggless way of making ice cream. Although custard based with egg yolks ice cream is silkier and smoother, and Philadelphia style ice creams with no egg yolks tend to be firmer, freeze harder and have a somewhat chewier, the latter does come together more quickly and there are no whites to take care of , plus it is lighter tasting.
With this ice cream chugged down, I am now ready to watch The Hunger Games with my friends tomorrow! Since I had no unsweetened chocolate, I substituted every ounce of chocolate called for with 3 tbsp cocoa and 1 tbsp butter. This recipe yields a very very chocolatey ice cream and I loved it! Since I did not use unsweetened chocolate, I added the extra cocoa and butter in this step itself. If using unsweetened chocolate proceed to step 2, else if like me you have non on hand, skip step 2.
Remove from heat and whisk in the unsweetened chocolate, until the chocolate has completely melted. Add in the milk and vanilla. And mix well. Let the mixture cool completely in the refrigerator.
