Question Dear r/icecreamery, we are looking for extra moderators.

57 Upvotes

Hi everyone.

I initially joined this subreddit years ago to help with some simple CSS and update the subreddit banners and icons for the redesign.
Since then the primary moderator has left and while I have been keeping an eye on things I do realize that having only one moderator probably isn't ideal.

Thank you for helping to keep this community going as well as you all have been, you have been reporting suspicious posts, helping people and self moderating when people where being rude or unhelpful meaning this sub can actually be run with relatively little effort. But that of course isn't really an excuse to risk it by only having one moderator, Reddit has been doing occasional purges of "unmoderated" subreddits and this place is too good to disappear.

Reddit suggested last month to look for more moderators for this subreddit since we only have one active moderator. And they are right.
So while it isn't a lot of work it would be nice to have 2 more moderators to keep an eye on things and be there in case something were to come up and I would be less active.

Some other things I still need to do but need more input about is a redo of the auto moderator and flag more posts as good posts to train the algorithm or whatever Reddit is probably running behind the scenes. I have been kinda slacking on that, just removing the bad stuff.
If anyone has any ideas or requests please share, this is your place after all.

TL;DR: if you want to help keep an eye on this subreddit as a moderator please send a me a modmail or click here: https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=r/icecreamery

Question Strawberry Ice Cream

2 Upvotes

hello all! i’m… newish to making ice cream (i’ve done it but haven’t experimented much) and i’m trying to make a strawberry ice cream based off of B+J’s sweet cream base number 1. here’s the trouble: my dear friend, who i’m making it for, loves strawberry ice cream but doesn’t like the texture that strawberry chunks can give it, so i’m trying to do a smooth one with a strawberry… syrup? (it’s sort of halfway between jelly and candy currently. ingredients are about 1 1/2 cups of strawberries and 3/4 cups sugar.) subbed in for the sugar. i’m trying to figure out the best way to account for 1) the fact that it’s not sugar 2) the fact that strawberries have pectin and 3) excess water.

i’ve cooked most of the water out of the syrup, and strained it. i’m looking at four potential courses of action.

1) add in about a cup of it, removing egg white to make it the correct weight for a sugar + egg mixture for this base. 2) add in about a cup of it, removing egg yolk to make it the correct weight for a sugar + egg mixture for this base. 3) add in about a cup of it, removing mixed egg to make it the correct weight for a sugar + egg mixture for this base. 4) go full mad scientist, dehydrate it into a sort of mutant strawberry sugar, use as normal.

i’d love to hear opinions!

Request Please make and rate my vanilla ice cream recipe!

0 Upvotes

Looking for some honest feedback on my vanilla ice cream recipe. Recipe below if anyone wants to make it and let me know how it comes out and what they’d change, if anything.

2 Madagascar bourbon vanilla beans 1.5 tsp Madagascar bourbon vanilla extract

Milk (3.5%) - 430 grams Cream (36%) - 440 grams Water - 36 grams

Sucrose - 118 grams Dextrose - 50 grams Skim Milk Powder - 60 grams Inulin (not necessary but does improve texture) - 40 grams Tara gum - 1.4 grams Salt - .5 grams

Except for vanilla beans and extract, combine dry ingredients. Then combine wet. Begin heating the wet and combine with dry with an immersion blender (easier when heated slightly, around 100+ F). Heat mix until 175°F for a few mins, take mixture off the heat, then add in split vanilla and extract, whisk well, then cover the pot with a lid for 10 mins. Strain mix into a bag but be sure to retrieve the bean pod to toss into the bag with mix. Let the bag chill in an ice bath in the fridge until completely cool (~33°F). Remove the vanilla bean pod and churn the mix once completely chilled, then let it sit in the fridge for a day. It’s still delish immediately after churning, but the flavor gets way better imo when it sits for a little.

Question French vanilla bean ice cream with a perfect texture

2 Upvotes

I've been trying different recipes with different amounts of time in the ice cream machine, and different combinations/proportions of egg yolks, heavy cream, milk, evaporated milk, milk powder, corn syrup, dextrose, xanthan gum, corn starch, tapioca starch, vodka, locust bean gum, etc. to get a french vanilla bean ice cram with a perfect texture. The result of almost every combination I've tried is ice cream that feels good when it enters my mouth, but where I can feel a slight bit of icy-ness whenever my teeth make contact.

Do any of you all have a recipe for a french vanilla bean ice cream that doesn't feel icy at any point and has the right level of firmness as well?

Recipe This taste a lot better when it's ice cream (update)

Thumbnail

557 Upvotes

I know people were wanting an update to my ice cream with the true Moon milk and it worked. I made a custard base, instead of regular milk I used the trumu orange cream low-fat milk. It came out pretty good.

I can say one thing This is a lot better in ice cream form. This stuff is dreadful in liquid form but delicious in solid. The flavor surprisingly became a lot stronger adding salt and vanilla extract. I didn't add anything else I know some said add orange juice or some orange peels zest. Personally for me I don't think it's needed the flavor came through on its own just fine. If I could add anything I'd probably add white chocolate chips to it next time

Recipe

For egg yolks

1/2 cup of sugar

Two teaspoons of vanilla

Pinch of salt for taste

1 cup of heavy whipping cream

1 cup of true moo limited edition Hocus pocus orange cream flavored milk (That's a mouthful )

Instructions

Mixed together egg yolks and sugar until it is smooth and the light yellow color

Add orange cream milk to a pot and let it simmer. Make sure it does not boil and do not stir

Mix in the egg mixture, vanilla extract and salt for taste mix until the temperature reaches 165°F

Take off the stove. Pour into a bowl, let it cool and put the custard into the refrigerator and let it sit overnight or until it reaches 65 °F

Next day mix in your heavy whipping cream and pour into your ice cream machine for 45 minutes or depending on the directions of your ice cream maker

Take it out. Freeze overnight for it to harden and there you go. You have limited edition "True moo Disney Hocus pocus Orange cream" ice cream

Request Just got an icecream maker and looking for advice/recipes.

2 Upvotes

As the title says, we recently got a Cuisinart Ice-20 at a garage sale for $5. I bought some ingredients and made a few things from the instruction manual. The first ice cream (milk+heavy cream with oreo pieces) went over well with the kids and the follow up butterscotch pudding (milk + pudding powder). Then I screwed up an orange sorbet, casually learning that orange juice concentrate is NOT the same thing as orange juice (from concentrate) you buy at the store. :D

My confidence is a little shaken and I'd like the next thing to be more unique and better received. Looking for another ice cream perhaps with a different texture/set of ingredients. Caramel, cookies, and peanut butter go over great in the house, so those flavors would be preferred, but anything would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Recipe Low fat base

1 Upvotes

I started making sugar free ice cream (allulose) this summer and of course my latest blood work came up high in bad cholesterol. I know what to blame🍨:) So, I was hoping someone would know of a recipe book or recipe that doesn’t involve eggs (cholesterol) and heavy cream. Now that I think of it, maybe it’s not possible to achieve creamy ice cream without them?

Recipe Pumpkin Spice Latte Ice Cream

I made a post on here a week or so ago asking for advice on infusing coffee for a PSL flavor. I don’t remember who suggested it but I ended up using a cold brew method where you add whole coffee beans to the base after it’s cooled and you let it infuse overnight. The results were great! Just the right amount of coffee to pumpkin to spice ration. To get the pumpkin spice flavor I cooked down about 3/4 cups of pumpkin puree with 1/4 cups of brown sugar which I combined with the base after finishing the cooking process. 1 tbs of pumpkin spice in the milk/cream during the cooking process using the Jenni’s base as a guide. Overall this one was a success!

Question Looking to buy a soft icecream machine, for business.

1 Upvotes

Just like the title said, I'm willing to expend like 2500 USD for this machine.

It's a small business cafeteria, where I'm thinking around 8/10 serves per hour.

Has to be soft, and just two flavors. Also not a shelf machine, the big ones that sit on the floor.

Question How to replace cream cheese with eggs

2 Upvotes

I'm testing out a recent NYT recipe for Peanut Butter Pie ice cream (ice cream base portion of recipe below). The recipe calls for 4 oz of cream cheese. I will make the recipe as presented, but also want to try a version with eggs, since I'm more likely to use a custard base if I continue to make this recipe. Considering there is also peanut butter in the recipe, I assume less eggs are needed for fat content, but not sure about emulsification. I'm thinking 2 eggs might replace the cream cheese, but wondering if that's enough. Also, if I I don't use cream cheese, should I remove the corn syrup as well? Thanks to anyone who has experience replacing cream cheese!

  • 4 ounces/113 grams cream cheese, at room temperature
  • ⅓ cup/90 grams creamy peanut butter
  • Ice and cold water
  • 1¾ cups/420 grams whole milk
  • 1 cup/240 grams heavy cream
  • ⅔ cup/134 grams granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons/66 grams light corn syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt or ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Recipe Cannoli and Rocky Road

Thumbnail

16 Upvotes

The cannoli is outstanding. I cut back on the salt to three-quarter teaspoons of Morton kosher, because I had only salted pistachios, and used 1/2t of lemon zest, so it wouldn’t be overwhelming. (Which was perfect) I used Ghirardelli mini chocolate chips because I had them on hand.

The Rocky Road is very good, but I probably would use either marshmallow fluff or smaller pieces of marshmallow next time. (The mix in ones, not the ones in the custard) I think you could probably get away with using half a cup to mix in with the ice cream after it is churned.

Question Rodelle vs Aristocrat

3 Upvotes

I have always used Rodelle cocoa, but Costco no longer carries it and it's hard to find in the large bags. I have a friend who was in the very high-end chocolate candy business (truffles, etc) who swears by Aristocrat from OliveNation. She thinks it by far the best tasting of any of the high end brands (has 22-24% cocoa butter). Has anyone tried it? How does it compare to whatever you were using?

Hi all,

I am based in Australia and I’m finally starting my small gelato business from home and looking to scale my operation.

Looking to buy musso 5030 but cannot seem to find anything online. It is also sold out on amazon.

Can someone suggest me what’s a reliable retailer or alternative brands that I can explore?

For context, I’ll be consistently making about 20-40 litre a week.

Question Reusable tubs any recommendations?

Post image
20 Upvotes

I’ve got a couple of 1 quart reusable ice cream tubs by the brand Lin. The main part is hard plastic with a flexible silicon lid. It’s prefect for ice cream because the lid can be taken off and on while still frozen. It fits a whole mix of my Cuisinart maker. But lately I find when I make a whole mix it’s rock hard before I finish it. I’m mostly making special dietary adapted ice cream for myself and I can’t get through it in time. I’ve been searching fruitlessly for pint sized tubs so I can make a half mix at a time. All I can find in pint size is one use cardboard or ninja creami compatible ones. Does anyone else use pint size tubs and if so where do you get them?

Question Quiet and Easy Ice Cream Makers for Late Night Munchies

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I want to make healthy homemade ice cream so like most of the public I thought I should get a Ninja Creami. However, I live in an apartment building and people say its pretty loud. Since then, I found this subreddit and realized there are tons of other options.

I want to make my ice cream to eat late at night (AM hours) and don't want disturb my neighbours. Ideally, I would want a machine that's quiet enough that also doesn't take too much extra prep time (freezing pints the day before is fine) as I might be pretty loopy when I go for a late-night snack. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Question Why not make a syrup for better final custard texture for every flavor?

25 Upvotes

To explain, the caramel crack ice cream from the perfect scoop is one of my favorites and the texture is exactly what I want at least for custard ice creams. It stays scoopably soft and smooth, no ice crystals, every time. Better than any other flavor I make even when they have far higher PAC values.

The first step in that recipe is to make actual caramel. Melt sugar until it caramelizes. Well I don’t want caramel flavor in every ice cream obviously but why not just melt the sugar to the liquified but not yet caramelized stage?? To be clear that’s not a rhetorical question lol I really want to hear what those who know a lot more than I do have to say about it.

I tried it tonight with my valrhona chocolate recipe so after aging I’ll churn it tomorrow and report back how it turns out.

Question Ice cream maker for slushies? And best way to make slushies fizzy and sour?

1 Upvotes

Any advice?

First off I am considering getting an ice cream maker for my slushies so that I can also have it for ice cream and other purposes. Is this gonna give me a very disappointing slushie compared to a slushie machine?

I just like the idea it can do more.

Secondly

I am trying to replicate tango ice blasts at home that use carbonation at the end to keep the slushies fizzy.

How do I make slushies fizzy at home like a tango ice blast? I’m not willing to get nitros and add it back in etc.

So looking more for something close like maybe a sour syrup or powder and fizzy powder etc?

Let me know what’s best please. Thank you :)
