Do you make ice cream at home? I have been making ice cream for quite a while now. Ice cream has to be frozen and creamy, and of course should be sweet and tasty too. We find most store bought ice creams to be too sweet, while also containing a big list of known and unknown ingredients. So when you make it at home you can control all the ingredients. Making it creamy is the only tricky part. If you directly freeze the ice cream mix, it is just going to freeze into a big chuck of ice and not ice cream. The trick is to not let the mixture form into big chunks, but to let it freeze into tiny frozen crystals making it creamy even after it freezes. This can be achieved in different ways, stirring the mixture every 30 minutes or so while it is freezing so as to block the formation of big ice crystals is one way, but should have a lot of patience and time :-). Another way would be to play the zip lock ice cream game, it is a lot of fun and a lot of mess to clean up. Then there is Vitamix, in which you can make instant ice cream with a mix of frozen and chilled ingredients. I am sure there must be other methods by which people all over the world make the ice cream creamy.
Now, if you have to make your 'creamy' ice cream ahead of time and keep it frozen and still retain the 'creaminess' so that you can enjoy it, you definitely need a better plan. So I finally decided to buy an ice cream maker. The $50 price tag for the Cuisinart ice cream maker was just equivalent to buying a good brand of ice cream a few times. Easy to store, easy to clean and easy to use. The first ice cream I made in my machine is an all time family favorite - mango coconut milk ice cream. The taste was nothing new, since we have enjoyed it a lot during mango seasons in the past, the star was the the texture this time. We have reinvented our family favorite ice cream with the new ice cream machine - and this is one ice-cream we cannot have enough of no matter how many times we keep making it !!!
