Making ice cream at home

Kool Funz!

:udawoman:

Want to try this with DS in the march hols, just for the fun of it. I remember he had this icecream making demo in the science centre on a field trip from his school. But I guess they had used liquid nitrogen.
BTW, how long does the whole process take?

Kids took about 30mins to make the ice-cream. From getting everything ready to measuring, plus a bit of squabbling, to the end product. And it took them less then 10 mins to finish all the ice-cream

WOW this is COOL, Funz!!!!! Thanks for sharing. Will try it with DD during March hols.


Oops, with this method, looks like the Ice Cream machine will not be flying off shelves so soon!

If you already have a Kitchen Aid for baking, you can always buy the ice-cream maker attachment so that you don't need to buy another appliance for making your own ice-cream.


Although making ice-cream would cost the same or more expensive than store-bought ones, you're assured of all the ingredients going into it - no extra preservatives or artificial flavourings that helps keep commerical ice-cream from spoiling.

wow, very yummy pics! (both funz and maid's)


my kids tried the bag of ice cream within bag of ice with rock salt one, where they throw it around or kick it to make ice cream. very messy though, so i like the bowl in bowl one.

i have a kitchenaid ice-cream maker too, but we bought it in US, very cheap there. however, very troublesome cos when i use it here, i have to plug it into the transformer cos diff voltage here.

but still, being able to make different flavours and dumping in whatever the kids fancy has managed to get quite some mileage out of the machine too. still worth it, i guess.

also made ice creams as gifts for friends cos can customise for them whatever they like.

our family fav would be Horlicks and Milo with more Milo powder on top as topping...

Ya, totally agree! That's the beauty of homemade ice-cream, can throw in what we fancy!
