I just recently started making homemade ice cream. However, all the recipes I’ve tried end up having a sting heavy cream flavor. Does anyone have any suggestions/recipes that can minimize this flavor? I can’t do any custard bases as I have an allergic, so I’m looking for some allergy friendly alternatives.

So i wanted to get a list of top items that i should try in my life. If you can get me the location too, i would be grateful. Help me😌

Okay me and my boss are having a debate about whether or not ice cream and gelato are the same. Semantics wise yes, we established that gelato is “ice-cream” in Italian, but the argument is fundamentally are they the same? I argue no because they have different fat contents, similar to how I wouldn’t say that froyo is ice-cream, but now I wonder what the general census is?

Looking for some insights. I love the texture and richness that custards offer, but am a little sick of “forging” eggs (as my partner puts it). 😅

Has anyone had luck using replacement stabilizers/emulsifiers such as xanthan gum or soy lecithin? Looking for input and recommendations here as well.

Thanks all!

I know I’m not the only one who has made some flavors that ultimately aren’t amazing, or not worth the amount of work that goes into them. I don’t mean in the sense of the formula not working out— only that the flavor sounded more appealing or interesting than it turned out to be.

Recently I worked on a cornbread and honey ice cream and after several tries to get the balance right (honey is a very potent flavor and a very small amount is all it takes when you want a background flavor), I got it, but just didn’t think it was worth the trouble of

Toasted milk ice cream while tasty, tastes pretty much exactly like dulce de leche ice cream, which is understandable because dulce de leche is milk that undergoes the Maillard reaction and ends up with concentrated milk solids. Toasted milk powder is milk solids undergoing the Maillard reaction. Between the two I prefer to just make the dulce de leche ice cream since it’s easier to make and I ultimately think the flavor is better. When I see viral “triple toasted ice cream” I’m not the least bit tempted because I’d rather have either a caramel ice cream, a vanilla ice cream, or a dulce de leche ice cream, but all together they end up competing.

And I want to make a key lime ice cream at some point, but Dana Cree’s key lime frozen yogurt was the kind of thing that tasted good but I didn’t want to eat at all. It was a little too much for me, and I generally love citrus desserts.

I once made toasted cream and I don’t know what it was about the cream sold here when going through that process, but it just had a strong barnyard flavor and smell that scared me off from trying to make toasted cream again. 😂 I did still manage to make a very tasty burnt honey ice cream with it, but the honey being so potent is what saved that particular experiment.

So, what have you made that was just kind of mediocre or an outright disaster?

Hello there!

I've been making ice creams for a year now and recently bought a gelato recipe book to complete my collection. My favorite flavor is probably honey and lavender ice cream but I also really enjoy violette and orange blossom. That got me wondering about the use of spices like cardamom for example; I was thinking about trying rose and cardamom gelato (whenever I receive my inulin) but I don't know who could help me veto or refine my ideas, that's where reddit enters.

Do you have flavor combinations ideas or already tried some? I was thinking of tonka and chocolate and/or coffee or cardamom and orange blossom (can you tell I like cardamom?). I'd really like to use cinnamon because I have some precious ones but I don't know what I could use it with apart from apple as I'm not a fan. Anyways, I flared my post discussion but can modify it if it's not the more appropriate one!

Ice cream is a big deal in my country and recipes for it are very common, and they all often use sweetened condensed milk, non-dairy whipping cream, no churn methods etc

What do you think of these types of "easy" ice cream recipes? Do you find them ridiculous or do you respect them?

Personally I've tried plenty of them and although they taste alright they always come out rock solid, I think it's because of the lack of stabilizers and the absence of an ice cream machine, but im not a pro so i can't tell for sure
