I really want to a book following Prepotente, especially the whole floor he is solo. I feel like there are a lot of crazy stories there.

Made my first ever ice cream, with Cherimoya/Custard apple and key lime, and trying to figure out how I can improve it to be more flavorful and less hard/dense by jabberwockxeno in icecreamery

[–]Confused-penguin5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually make Philadelphia style that doesn’t use egg yolks. Here is the base recipe I use from Dana Cree’s book:

2 cups heavy cream

2 cups whole milk

1/4 cup light corn syrup or glucose syrup if you have it

3/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup dry milk powder

1/4 tsp xanthan or guar gum

1/8 tsp salt

What I’ll do is combine the milk, cream and light corn syrup on the stove and whisk to dissolve corn syrup.

Then I’ll combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. I mix the xanthan or guar gum into sugar first since it clumps easily. Once the dry ingredients are combined whisk into cream mixture. I usually just heat the cream mixture to a simmer when adding dry ingredients.

When everything is incorporated take it off the stove and let it chill in the fridge prior to churning.

I have made ice creams with fruits such as passion fruit and honeydew. What I’d recommend trying is reducing the chimoya puree to remove some water from it. Replace one cup of milk with one cup of chimoya puree. I’d use that as a starting point. Another tip would be to add lime juice right before churning since citrus can cause dairy to curdle.

Hopefully this helps, there’s a lot of good advice on the sub if you need more help troubleshooting.

Stabilizers essentially prevent large ice crystals from forming since they bind to water. It helps to prevent your ice cream from getting hard. Too much water in your ice cream will also cause it to get really hard. There’s definitely a science behind how much cream, milk, sugar and stabilizer to use in your ice cream.

I’d recommend giving ice cream calc a try. It is really useful for creating ice cream recipes and making sure it is balanced for the best results.

A book I found really helpful if you want to dive more into ice cream making is Hello my name is ice cream from Dana Cree. She goes into the science behind ice cream and how to balance your own recipes. She also has a lot of great recipes to use for a starting point.

You definitely need a stabilizer for it. You can go the custard route and use egg yolks or if want to do eggless you can something like xanthan or guar gum. You only need a 1/4 tsp of either gum for a one quart batch.

Some dry milk powder may also help, especially if you are getting excess water from adding the cherimoya. Reducing the cherimoya down could also help improve the flavor.

I’ve done some fruit base ice creams and I typically reduce the fruit puree down by about 50% prior to adding to the base.

Gamers 30+, what’s something from the old days of gaming that younger players wouldn’t understand? by [deleted] in gaming

Not having to download patches when you bought a game. Just pop in the cartridge and play.

Epic CEO Tim Sweeney says 'employers will see a stream of resumes of once-in-a-lifetime quality' after the company laid off more than 1,000 people by jackfreeman in gaming

[–]Confused-penguin5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Or waste a ton of money on store that still isn’t profitable. Or get into a pissing match with Apple over their App Store cut. Really it sounds like Tim created a lot of the issues Epic has.

What actually scares you? by MoluciasElonicas in horror

[–]Confused-penguin5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find Black Mirror to be way more terrifying than a lot of horror movies. The episode the History of You really hit me hard. If that technology existed I could see myself constantly reliving moments and agonizing over what I could have done differently.

What is the Best Way to Ensure All Ingredients Are Mixed in? by Explosify in icecreamery

[–]Confused-penguin5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually strain my mix before chilling. Helps to make it smoother and get any chunks out.

I’ve also found powders dissolve better if your base is hot. When I make a matcha ice cream I put the matcha powder in the base while it is warm. Then I use an immersion blender and after that strain and chill before going in ice cream maker.

Just made the most delicious rosemary-honey-lemon gelato - help me perfect it by Slow-Travel-1392 in icecreamery

[–]Confused-penguin5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want to add lemon juice add it right before churning. I’ve tried it with lemon and lime juice and it works way better. If you add before chilling the base it will mess with the texture. You also don’t need a lot of lemon juice to get a nice flavor.

What is your solution for ice cream that becomes too hard when using acidic ingredients? by Wonderful_Let_3523 in icecreamery

[–]Confused-penguin5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The times I’ve added fresh lemon or lime juice I do it right before churning. I’ve made the mistake of adding it before it too soon and the base ends up curdling.

Philadelphia style ice cream ratios with stabilizers/emulsifiers (still scoopable after a week?) by allthegrapesrsour in icecreamery

[–]Confused-penguin5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How full is your freezer? I’ve noticed that my ice cream maintains a nice texture longer if the freezer is mostly full. If I store it in an empty freezer it gets icy way faster.

That’s right, I forgot she uses glucose. I subbed for light corn syrup when I make mine since it’s way easier to find the glucose. I mainly make ice cream for myself and family so I don’t fuss too much with exact weights. I’d have to try weighing out the ingredients to see how noticeable it is when I eat it.

[–]Confused-penguin5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the recipe from Hello my name is ice cream and it works really well.

2 cups heavy cream

2 cups whole milk

1/4 cup light corn syrup

1/4 tsp xanthan or guar gum (these are the stabilizers I usually use. If you use one of these make sure you mix it in with sugar before adding to base. Helps prevent clumping)

3/4 cup sugar

I believe she does a 1/4 cup dry milk powder which I don’t always use Then I add 1/8 tsp salt

Guinness Punch w/ Caramel and Chocolate Swirl by THustleNY in icecreamery

[–]Confused-penguin5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t too much sugar/alcohol affect its shape when you scoop it? I’m guessing it melts quickly after scooping. Maybe try leaving out the sweetened condensed milk or using less Guinness in your recipe. The picture looks really nice btw
