Re: Making Ice Cream Questions

Yes, to all of the above, lol. I make ice cubes from my raw cow or goat milk, simply by freezing the milk or cream. I also make cubes of pumpkin or squash puree, chocolate puree, etc. and freeze those, so I have a variety of things on hand whenever the mood strikes me for ice cream-which is often! I often add agave nectar to the cubes so they are presweetened, making it even easier. I freeze the cubes in ice cube trays, then transfer them to labeled jars or zipper bags (I prefer jars, since I don't like to use plastic, but plastic bags are certainly easier to store! No special recipe or rocket science needed-just puree and freeze whatever ingredients you want in your final product. Pumpkin pie ice cream is my all time favorite, is super nutritious, and is part of our daily regime, so we keep the ingredients on hand at all

Do any of you make milk ice cubes to use in making Ice Cream. I thought I saw this somewhere and all I have found are recipes with milk product and regular ice cubes.

Would love to know if any of you make Goat's Milk Ice Cream and how you do it?

Thanks,

I use milk cubes and you can make them with all kinds of milk and toss 'em into labeled bags for future use. Be aware, though, that skim milk cubes need to be used pretty quickly because they sorta "freeze dry" after a while.

I haven't made goat milk ice cream but there's not reason why you couldn't. There's a goat dairy that sells goat ice cream at our local green market in all kinds of flavors. Get creative!

I made some vanilla custard into ice cubes. I use them in smoothies and VitaMix

fruit ice creams. I keep a sack of custard cubes in freezer.

Aha, a new dish. Teehee. Actually the custard cubes really are good. Just a couple add a bit of sweetness and richness to a smoothie and they make a wonderful frozen fruit dessert, again just a few cubes. I tried to use them to make a plain vanilla ice cream but I like the fruit/custard dessert more.TerrySent from my iPadOn Jan 19, 2011, at 9:46 PM, <kareningotham@...> wrote:

I wouldn't be above trying it! I once mislabeled some veggie stock as "fruit stock" (yes, I know it sounds weird but I make pectin, then stock out of my fruit, lol) and made ice cream with the veggie stock by mistake. I am pretty adventurous food wise, but that was NOT good ice cream!

Hi,I am at work catching up on emails.I have a can of pumpkin at home, med. size, maybe 14 oz.How would I make ice cream in the Vitamix with this without taking the time to freeze ice cubes?

Sounds great!Thanks!!Sophia in S. FL.Sent from my iPadOn Jan 19, 2011, at 9:08 PM, Berry <berrywell@...> wrote:

I'm thinking frozen pumpkin cubes, liquid custard (gotta have liquid), and maple sugar for sweetening (you wouldn't need much--pumpkin's pretty sweet).

That'd work fine but ice dilutes flavor and texture, too. Much better to freeze something into cubes that'll keep things creamy. I've yet to use actual ice with my Vita-Mix.

I'm with -adding plain water ice cubes to ice cream would dilute it too much for my liking, and I have never tried it. It doesn't take long to whip up a batch of ingredients to freeze. Biggest thing for me was freezer room...so I bought a new freezer JUST for things that will end up in the Vitamix, lol. If you blend up the pumpkin, coconut (or rice, nut, or grain milk) and agave and freeze into cubes, you have instant ice cream from that point whenever you are ready for it. Just a few minutes ago, I blended up homemade chocolate, tapioca, and agave and froze it-it makes the creamiest chocolate ice cream ever, and has little fat since I subbed the tapioca for dairy. (just tapioca pearls cooked in water)

[Guest guest]

Oh?!Freeze them into ice cubes all together?I will try that----Do I add any liquid or keep the machine on low?I have not used the tamper yet, will I need that?  It looks scary.....

Yes, just combine all the ingredients into a puree, and pour that into the ice cube trays to freeze. From there, watch the video on the Vitmix site for the proper technique. The tamper is essential for getting the right texture and consistency. Good luck!! Let me know how it turns out!

You need to read/watch your instructional material in order to get an idea of liquids/frozens and the order in which you put ingredients into the container. It's pretty much "one size fits all" and is extremely important.

You need liquid--be sure to look at your instructional material. You also want your "frozens" to be REALLY frozen, otherwise you'll end up with a smoothie. If you want ice cream, your ingredients need to be cold.
