HELPFUL HINTS · Certain recipes involve cooking. Prepare them at least a day previously to ensure they chill completely and expand. It is always advisable to chill the basic mixture. · In the case of cold mixtures, the best results are obtained by beating the eggs and sugar with an electric whisk. This helps increase the volume of the mixture. · The majority of mixtures consist of cream, milk, eggs and sugar. You can use whatever cream you wish, but the flavour and texture will change greatly according to the quality of cream chosen. The higher the percentage of fat in the cream, the richer the ice cream will be. For example, whole cream contains a minimum of 36% fat, whipped cream 30%, cream for coffee or skimmed cream 18% and half cream plus half milk 10%. In all cases, the important thing is to always maintain the same quantity of liquid. For example, the lightest ice cream can be made by using more milk than cream, or by eliminating the cream altogether. You can also use skimmed milk, but the texture of the ice cream will be very different. · The ice cream mixture can be kept in the refrigerator for a number of days. Shake it well before pouring it into the cylinder. · Add the mixture until the cylinder is no more than half full. The mixture increases in volume during preparation.
