Glucose in ice cream
« on: July 14, 2009, 03:29:27 am »
I was reading somewhere the other day that if you put glucose in ice cream then it won`t go hard in the freezer. So I tried putting a tablespoon in some and all it did was go straight to the bottom and wrap around the blades. So my question is would you add it when you make the custard so that it heats up with the rest or just heat it up and then add it when you beat the ice cream before putting it back into the freezer?

Try adding to the sugar and egg yolks when starting the custard - beat a bit before adding remaining bits.  It does help keep it softer, but so does alcohol (I think you've been burnt though by my alcoholic adventures ?? ).

May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.
