Hello everybody!
I bought an ice cream maker, I love ice cream very much, I tried to master the whole branch, but it's difficult. To begin with, I tried to make ice cream with eggs, did not understand the meaning, did not like it. Neither taste, nor consistency, nor ice crystals, although salt was added. Remembering my studies as a cook 20 years ago, I tried to look at ice cream not as a simple reading of recipes, but to reflect on the technology of industrial production and why it was mentioned here on the forum more than once that homemade ice cream is also good, but not as industrial, but " just different. " I set myself the task of achieving exactly the industrial state of stabilization, the absence of crystals, the use of ice cream without spreading at a temperature of the mixture not hardened, but -5-7 degrees. In general, I have a rather weak throat and I did not want to eat crispy ice from the -18 freezer.
Option of ice cream with coffee
And so, as a basis, I took ice cream sundae, gostovsky, recipe from Rina72
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...c=646.0I read a lot about stabilizers, it was modern technologies, and I came to the conclusion that it would be gelatin that would be the best, and agar agar probably would be very good. Carrageenan ...? you need to carefully read about it and find out the usefulness, not the usefulness and where to get it.
And so, the recipe in a liquid warm state I really liked the taste, I did not like the starch !!!. I strongly discourage the use of starch as a stabilizer. Ice cream is still not of a good consistency, with ice crystals, and requires a decent freezing temperature. A striking difference to gelatin. Moreover, I took 2 teaspoons with a small slide of gelatin per liter of liquid. It's kind of a lot. But more on that later. I did everything in a water bath, no thermometers and the main thing is not to be afraid, it is difficult to spoil something. I have a ceramic hob, I do not recommend bringing it to 85-90 degrees directly on the stove, if you do not stir it with a spoon. Will start to burn, even in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bath only.
so:
I did everything by eye, I had a saucepan with divisions and for it I needed a liter of liquid, well, or 900.100 ml. will not spoil anything there. I have an ice cream maker for 1.5 liters.So 1 liter is just to the eyeballs so that it does not come out.
Drinking cream 35% Venta 250 ml.
Cream 11% 250 ml.
Don't forget about salt! somewhere one third, one fourth of a teaspoon.
We poured the milk on the eye and keep in mind that there is still 100 g of condensed milk, or 150 g. In Moscow, in Ashan, I discovered some kind of "new" condensed milk - Cream. In soft packaging. It tastes like nothing. I replaced half of the usual with this new one.
sugar 4 tablespoons and the fact that gelatin will also take up some volume. I liked it very much in powder, literally soaked the cold. milk for 3 minutes and then diluted warm to a dissolved mass, a little liquid, about 100 ml. in 2 steps - cold to swell and warm to dissolve.
I made the above recipe with gelatin, but only with coffee, so 2 more cups of espresso coffee. That is, my portion in the coffee machine costs 40 ml. means 80 ml.
The total should be 900-1000 ml. If there is no graduation on the pan, before cooking, pour out the measured liquid and measure how much it should be. Top up with milk.
I have a feeling that it is not necessary to strictly adhere to the recipe, who loves what. More sugar means lower temperature in the ice cream maker. If you're confident in your fridge, make it sweeter. But those volumes of sugar and condensed milk will satisfy any sweet tooth, I think.
The hot mixture will always seem sweet, harden, and the sweetness will be felt better. As well as with jellied meat and salt.
So what about gelatin. After maturing in the refrigerator for 24 hours, the mixture looked like a very weak jelly, barely retaining its shape. That is, you can cut with a knife, but the cut immediately grows together. When the pan is tilted, the mass, more or less retaining its shape, tries to fall out of the pan in one piece. Then it occurred to me to take a blender, but with a whisk for beating, and first at low speed, and then whisk this whole mixture for a couple of minutes. Or rather, I would say to break it from a jelly-like state into a more liquid one. It's just that the mass took in a little warm air and became softer. I do not advise you to heat, an ice cream maker cannot cope without a compressor, I think it will not freeze. After a couple of minutes, it flowed beautifully through the funnel into the ice cream maker. She spun there for 40-45 minutes. By the way, the bowl was in the freezer for 2 days. The refrigerator has been defrosted beforehand and placed one division above the average temperature. I think it was about -18 in the freezer. And so, the finished ice cream was almost to the top. Mass, not convey. Simply the most delicate, without the slightest signs of spreading and smudges in the bowl. Unfortunately I did not take a photo, everything was at the stage of an experiment and it did not occur to me to photograph. In the next. I will definitely take a photo at the stages of preparation. Very nice color. And most importantly, taste.
I did it in the morning, held it in the freezer for an hour somewhere, then put it on the balcony, there probably minus 8-9.
In the afternoon, a friend came, conducted an experiment on him, said that the taste was unreal. I tried it myself, I will say that it is harder to come up with more tender. No ice crystals, the mouth does not burn with cold from the frozen mass. Rather, a pleasant sensation, as it were, of a warm, non-scalding mass, and at the end, if you press it against the palate with your tongue, you feel a pleasant cold. I would say that it turned out in the best traditions of an excellent Soviet ice cream, with a hint of crème brulee. Probably not enough burnt The shop goes through the forest.
At first I was upset about the ice crystals and the very cold mass in previous experiments, but the gelatin helped a lot. And I think it will be absolutely wonderful with agar. In Moscow, there seems to be a dot ru in Seryogin's store. And most importantly, no eggs. And there are not so many products. And in principle, quite a bit of fuss. The mixture is made in 10-15 minutes, without a bunch of unnecessary body movements and straining the brain, and most importantly with a minimum of used dishes and, accordingly, dirty ones, some kind of separate beating of eggs, heaps of kitchen appliances, etc.
