Title: Ice cream meltdown
Post by: snappyandrew on July 29, 2013, 04:49:14 pm

Hi there.
Any one out there had this problem? I've followed the vanilla ice-cream recipe in the book and it seems to be going ok up to the point that I take it out of the freezer. I then try and fluff it up by, as the recipe says, putting it back in the thermomix but it goes runny. I don't seem to have this problem with sorbets.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

I can't think why your ice cream is going runny snappyandrew.Are you freezing it in a shallow,preferably metal,container until solid. Then cutting it into chunks and processing it 30sec/ speed 8 ?
There are many recipes here on the forum for ice cream.If you go to the "home" page and type in ice cream in the "search" box the recipes will appear ;)
A popular recipe is Salted Caramel Maple Ice Cream (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=648.0)

I'm afraid I have no idea either. What happens if you proceed with the mixing and re freeze? Does it taste ok?

I am not sure either. I make the EDC ice-cream all the time and have never had a problem. I presume your bowl is at room temp and not straight out of the dishwasher?
