Make Ice Cream at Home

By: Garnett Foards

Nothing makes a hot summer day complete like a big bowl of homemade ice cream.

Little kids and big kids alike love the cool, creamy taste of homemade ice cream on a hot, sunny day. Buying frozen concoctions at the store or supermarket is always an option, but for a true taste sensation try making ice cream with fresh ingredients right at home.

A home ice cream maker creates delicious ice cream at the touch of a button, using simple ingredients like milk, cream, sugar and flavorings. You can also use it to make fruit juice slush, sorbet, frozen yogurt and icy cold beverages. An ice cream machine makes it so easy to whip up a cool treat for your family, any time the mood strikes.

How can something so wonderful be so easy to use? Just follow these easy steps:

1. Pour your blended ingredients into the storage container. This is found inside the ice cream maker.

2. The mixture is drawn into a freezing chamber that's been edged with refrigerant liners.

3. Next, electric motors attached to agitator blades of the mixer fluff up the ingredients to make them creamier.

4. In the refrigerated chamber, the ice cream sets and becomes firm.

5. To serve, simply raise the handle on the dispenser unit, and the ice cream will fall into your bowl or cone.

In the past, entire families would take turns cranking the old-fashioned ice cream maker. Ingredients were mixed in a prepared metal container, which was kept cold by storing it in a mixture of ice and salt. All of the kids, mom and dad would help by turning the crank to move the paddles, or by stirring the ingredients with a wooden paddle. This took a lot of effort, but the results were so sweet. Over the years improvements were made to the ice cream making process. For example, motorized paddle agitators were fitted into metal containers. Of course, today's machines can churn out the same quality of tasty ice cream at the push of a button.

Any one who has children, grandchildren, or a sweet tooth can create delicious treats any time with a home made ice cream machine.
