How to make chocolate ice cream at home?
With the arrival of hot summer days, I want to delight myself with cold and refreshing ice cream. The easiest way to buy it is from a store. However, there is no guarantee that it will be tasty and healthy. Therefore, we will learn how to cook it on our own, but first we will reveal some secrets of cooking, knowing that ice cream at home will turn out to be no worse than what is served in cafeterias.
In the preparation of ice cream, the main thing is to withstand the technological process. In industrial production, the raw material is filtered and cooled under pressure. Then they are frozen in special machines with air saturation. The resulting soft ice cream is packaged and sent for hardening. At home, you can use an automatic or semi-automatic ice cream maker. But in the absence of it, there are other simple ways to bring the delicacy "into a decent shape."
- The main components of ice cream are milk, cream, sugar, thickener. Last, ice cream makes it tender and frozen. For the thickener, yolks, starch, gelatin, agar-agar are used. Without these products, ice cream will melt quickly and will not hold its shape.
- The principle of operation of the ice cream maker is to freeze the mixture, while simultaneously stirring it and saturating it with air, which prevents the crystals from freezing. After that, the mass is transferred to the mold and sent to the freezer for hardening. In the absence of an ice cream maker, the correct texture can be obtained without special equipment. To do this, the prepared mixture is placed in the freezer and whipped with a mixer every 15 minutes until a soft "semi-finished product". After that it is kept in the freezer for another 3 hours.
- It is better to prepare ice cream the day before serving, because it is recommended to keep it in the refrigerator for a day so that it freezes. Then there will be no "fast" ice crystals or delamination.
- For chocolate ice cream, add 50 g of dark chocolate to the hot yolk mixture and mix thoroughly until dissolved. Cocoa powder is also suitable instead of chocolate.
- Ready ice cream is stored in the freezer for several weeks.
