How to make ice cream at home

Prepare 200 ml of cream, appropriate amount of white sugar, 2 egg whites, 1 egg yolk or various jam vanilla extracts.

Add 1 spoon of sugar to the whipped cream, stir well and set aside. Then, take another large bowl, add egg whites, stir well until foamy, add appropriate amount of sugar and continue stirring. Add egg yolks to the egg whites that have been stirred well, mix well, add vanilla extract and stir again, stir and put into the whipped cream bowl and continue stirring. If you don't like egg ice cream, you can directly add your favorite jam to the whipped cream and mix well. Put the mixed food in the freezer of the refrigerator and freeze it. It can be eaten after about 2-3 hours. If you take it out and stir it 2-3 times during the freezing period, it will taste better.

How many degrees should the refrigerator be for freezing ice cream?

The best temperature for freezing ice cream is below -18℃. Normally, the temperature of soft ice cream is around -3 to -5℃, but the temperature of hard ice cream needs to be below -18℃, preferably -18℃ to -25℃. If it is higher than -18℃, the ice cream may become soft and deformed. And pay attention to the cleanliness of the ice cream storage environment, and do not store it with other frozen foods, especially raw meat, so as not to affect the taste.

The main nutrients in ice cream are sugar, fat and a small amount of protein. Eating ice cream for a long time may damage your teeth and easily lead to obesity, so it is recommended to eat ice cream in moderation.

Can yogurt be frozen into ice cream?

Yogurt can be drunk directly or used to make ice cream. Put the yogurt directly in the freezer, but the taste may be worse than the purchased ice cream. You can add appropriate amount of jam, raisins and other foods according to your personal taste to freeze together, which will taste better. The refrigerator temperature is generally -18℃ during freezing. Putting the yogurt in will generally freeze in 2-3 hours. It is better to take it out and eat it at this time. It may become harder over time. But please note that yogurt has a shelf life. Even if it is stored in the freezer, you should refer to the date outside the package.

Can I eat ice cream if it melts and then freezes again?

Ice cream can be eaten after it has melted and then refrozen. As long as the ice cream is sealed and left at room temperature for no more than half a day, it can be put back into the refrigerator after it melts, and it will not affect its consumption. Because sealed ice cream is generally sterilized, bacteria will not grow if it is not exposed to room temperature for too long, but the taste of ice cream will deteriorate after it is refrozen. After the ice cream melts, the air in it will return to the atmosphere. If the ice cream is frozen again without air, its texture will become hard and the taste will be poor.
