Arriving from training and having an ice cream is priceless. And if you have decided to make homemade ice cream instead of buying it, for a less price they will still come out 😂.
Ice creams are a frozen emulsion that p can provide you with plenty of vitamins, minerals, quality proteins and energy based on hydrates and healthy fats
The base will consist of fruit and dairy or some vegetable drink, to which you can add a lot of extra ingredients, such as cocoa, mint or vanilla.
The ingredients will depend on the nutrients you are interested in obtaining. In this way, by making your own ice cream you not only control what it contains, but you will also achieve purer flavors and healthier ingredients than those we can buy in the supermarket.
Everything points to the fact that the first ice creams emerged more than 2,500 years ago in China thanks to a method that mixed snow with honey and fruits. LUCKY, now we don’t have to go to the mountain to catch snow. With a freezer and a few ingredients there is no excess to make homemade ice cream.
If you have not yet entered the art of ice cream, it is always a good time to start. You will see that is simpler than it seems.
Yes, before continuing with the 7 recipes, write down these 3 tips:
Tip 1 .
M It is better to take the ice cream the same day it is made or for 2-3 days afterwards. Ice crystals tend to increase in size over time, so from the third day we will begin to notice a loss of creaminess.
Tip 2 .
L os home freezers are at -18 ºC, a lower temperature than the ice cream needs to be just right. That is why it is a good idea to wait a bit once we remove them from the freezer.
Tip 3 .
Recreate. It is not always necessary that you follow the recipes to the letter. Introduce other fruits if you feel like it and investigate what combinations can be good.
