Making icecream

[Cuchilo]

I saw something on tv and this looked easy.
Anyone tried it and not been ill ?

 

[Dave 123]

No

 

[Cuchilo]

No

Did you get the squits ?

Water ice is as far as I've ever got*. Nice too and as it's only fruits, sugar and water, I never got sick. I had measles as a child though. And chicken pox. I guess that rules me out.

*I would have tried sorbet but it required taking out of the fridge and stirring from time to time. Water ice is more fridge-and-forget.

Never made ice cream, but there are a lot of recipes for it on the BBC recipe website. Some look quite good. There is no reason why you can't make ice cream and be safe from illness.

Try it like they do it in Thailand...

You buy ice cream.

You make love.

Unless you are a toff.

 

[Cuchilo]

No

I think you are being to cagey with your replies .
I think you made some and got it wrong and then had a worry fart that was more than a worry . I also think this happened on a club ride in white lycra and all the club mates had eaten your icecream .

Buy an ice cream maker, a book and follow the instructions. Use fruit or chocolate not veg, friend made beetroot, nasty...pea worse!

Why would you be ill...unless made with raw chicken, which would be an error

Haven't made ice cream since the kids started leaving home - but used to make quite a lot. Pretty straight forward. Never any ill effects - except perhaps from eating far too much!

Aye - and lots of flavours that you never saw. Ginger and kumquat - one I remember well.

Don't be a twat, just buy some.

MrsR made ice cream with her cub pack using the salt in ice water technique...they all made ice cream and loved it...it's all about clean hands and fresh ingredients......

I've made lots of ice cream without the aid of an ice cream maker. Harder work but not difficult. Coconut, pear & ginger and mango went well, as did blackberry frozen yoghurt. The higher fat ones have worked better as they've been less vulnerable to ice crystals forming. We won't mention the rum & raisin where I didn't notice the rum I soaked the raisins in was a gift from the West Indies and 120 proof. That one blew the back of your head off.

[QUOTE 3696875, member: 259"]If you put too much rum in ice cream it won't set. It absolutely will not set if you don't use an ice-cream maker. It's just physics.[/QUOTE]
Less a case of too much rum as too much booze in the rum. The ice cream was great, rich and creamy. It was the little bullets of alcoholic pain studded within which made it an interesting experience.
