3. I keep the pan on the stove for twenty minutes. To check the consistency, swipe a spoon with your finger. The remaining trace indicates the readiness of the mixture.
4. Pour the mass into a container for freezing. A food grade plastic container will do. If desired, add filler to the cream ice cream at this stage. I use crushed cookies, pieces of fruit or berries.

Before eating, move homemade ice cream from the freezer to the refrigerator for a third of an hour.

Cooking Vanilla Ice Cream at Home

Older people claim that the taste and aromatic characteristics of modern vanilla ice cream are inferior to the product that was produced in the old days. It’s hard not to agree.

Today, manufacturers for the manufacture of ice cream instead of natural milk use powders that do not provide the finished product with high quality and excellent taste. We treat children with such sweets from which health benefits cannot be expected.

A cool dessert prepared according to the following recipe, high-quality and completely natural.

• Milk - 500 ml.
• Cream - 600 ml.
• Sugar - 250 g.
• Yolks - 6 pieces.
• Vanilla - 2 pods.

1. Combine the cream with milk in one bowl, and stir the resulting mixture, stirring, over low heat.
2. Cut the vanilla pods, remove the seeds and send them to the creamy milk mass.
3. The next step is to add sugar to the mixture. When the sweet powder is in the pan, mix and bring to a boil.
4. Add the crushed yolks to the mixture and whisk with a whisk. Using an electric mixer helps to prepare a more tender and airy lumpy vanilla ice cream.
5. It remains to move the finished mixture into a convenient dish and send it to the freezer. Beat the ice cream periodically for four hours. I do it in an hour.

Before serving, do not forget to decorate the dessert with berries or pieces of fruit. As a result, homemade ice cream will delight the household not only with its unique taste, but also with an appetizing look.

The benefits and harms of ice cream

Ice cream is a delicious treat, an excellent weapon against heat. However, the benefits of goodies for some are in doubt.

Benefit

The composition of ice cream includes about a hundred substances valuable to the body. These are amino acids, fatty acids, mineral salts and vitamins, potassium, phosphorus, iron and magnesium.

Ice cream is a source of the hormone of happiness, which improves memory, improves mood and accelerates the fight against stress. Dessert provides a therapeutic effect.

Some methods focused on the prevention of diseases of the intestines and stomach are based on ice cream from yogurt. Dessert has a positive effect on the intestinal microflora, since the necessary bacteria get along with the sweetness. The product retains its beneficial properties for three months.

If the child refuses to drink milk, ice cream will help saturate the body with useful substances. It is recommended to give children a classic ice cream ice cream without fillers and additives.

Harm and contraindications

The disadvantages of ice cream are many. First of all, this is a high calorie content. I do not advise abusing delicacies. Ice cream is contraindicated in gastritis and stomach diseases.

If sucrose is a part, it is better to refuse use to diabetics. People who have high cholesterol in their blood are not advised to eat fats based on animal fats.

Nutritionists recommend not eating aromatic varieties, since the composition includes fruit essences that have nothing to do with natural products. Ice cream often causes a headache, as it quickly reduces the temperature, constricts blood vessels and slows blood flow.

Ice cream story

According to legend, while traveling in eastern countries, Marco Polo learned a recipe for a treat that was cooled using ice and saltpeter. From that moment, a treat resembling a sorbet was present on the table of aristocrats. The chefs of those times kept the recipes a secret, and for an ordinary person making ice cream was comparable to a miracle.

Later there appeared recipes for the preparation of sorbets and ice, popular among the French and Italian nobility. Even Louis 14 was fond of such goodies. In 1649, Gerard Tiersen, a culinary specialist from France, came up with a formula for frozen vanilla cream, which included cream and milk. This new product was called "Neapolitan ice cream." Later, the ice dessert recipe was updated several times.

The inhabitants of Russia in ancient times in the summer heat ate slices of frozen milk. Even today, residents of Siberian villages prepare frozen milk and store in large piles.

The man who came up with the method of using ice and salt to lower and control the temperature of products for making ice cream helped the development of technology. No less important is the invention of a wooden bucket, equipped with rotating blades, designed to make ice cream.

At the beginning of 1843, a hand-held device was created and patented in England that made ice cream. The inventor was Nancy Johnson. Since Johnson was unable to organize the production of equipment, she sold the patent to the Americans. As a result, after 8 years in Baltimore, the first factory producing ice cream on an industrial scale appeared. A lot of time has passed since then, but the technology and recipes are still being improved.

After the advent of mechanical freezing technology, the spread of sweet treats was facilitated. Later they came up with a straw, then a stick and the technology of “soft ice cream”.

If you intend to buy ice cream in a store, choose small portioned packages, including briquettes, horns and glasses. Correctly storing dessert is not always obtained, and constant freezing and thawing degrade quality and taste.

Summing up, I will say that ice cream is a useful and harmful product at the same time. But just not homemade ice cream, which is devoid of flaws purchased. Do not be lazy, prepare dessert at home, and family members can enjoy the delicacy without fear for health.
