Life Style Desk: The desire to eat cold and creamy ice cream increases in the summer season. This is the reason why nowadays many people prefer to make ice cream at home instead of buying it from the market. Homemade ice cream is not only pure and refreshing, but it can also be made with flavors and ingredients of your choice.
However, a common problem arises when making ice cream at home. After being kept in the refrigerator, ice cream becomes so hard that it becomes difficult to scoop it easily. Apart from this, sometimes small grains of ice also get accumulated in it, which affects its taste and texture.
Often people think that it is not possible to make smooth and creamy ice cream like market or parlor ice cream at home, but it is not so at all. By adopting some easy tips, you too can prepare very soft, creamy and delicious ice cream at home. Let us know about those tips in detail.
Use full-fat dairy
Fat plays an important role in making ice cream creamy. Therefore, while making ice cream, use full-fat milk, fresh cream or whipping cream. Ice cream made from low-fat milk can harden quickly and is more likely to freeze.
beat the mixture well
After preparing the ice cream base, it is important to beat it well. Whipping incorporates air into the mixture, making the ice cream lighter and softer. You may get better results if you use a mixer or hand blender.
Use corn flour or milk powder
A little corn flour or milk powder can be added to give the ice cream a smooth texture. This thickens the mixture and prevents ice crystals from forming. This keeps the texture of the ice cream more creamy.
Blend again during freezing
After 2 to 3 hours of keeping the ice cream in the freezer, take it out once and blend it again. After this freeze again. This process prevents the formation of ice crystals and makes the ice cream smoother.
Store in airtight container
Ice cream should always be stored in an airtight container. This prevents excess moisture from reaching it and reduces the possibility of ice crystals forming. It may also be beneficial to close the container by placing butter paper or plastic wrap on top.
Keep out for a few minutes before serving
If the ice cream seems very hard after taking it out of the freezer, then let it remain at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes. This will make it a little soft and can be scooped easily.
With the help of these easy tips, home made ice cream can also become as soft, creamy and delicious as the parlor ice cream. Now it will be even easier to enjoy delicious homemade ice cream with family and friends in the summer.
