Raw eggs in ice cream

[Guest guest]

Hi folks,

Been a long time. Now in 20 degree winter weather, I've got a

question about ice cream! Have just made ice cream from cream, raw

egg, honey and vanilla, came out great.

My next variation will be to add unsweetened cocoa powder.

But am wondering, how long you would keep it, considering the raw

eggs. I've used raw egg lots of ways.. everything from downing them

Rocky Style to making mayo. A basic raw egg smoothie I would want to

use up the same time, although the mayo keeps a good few weeks in the

fridge, but maybe due to the vinegar. I'm just not sure how a raw egg

preparation like ice cream in the freezer would keep.

Hi ,

Homemade ice cream with raw eggs keeps just fine in the freezer. It

does freeze hard in the freezer (but that's not due to the eggs), so

you'll need to let it set out a little bit to soften in order to be

able to easily dip it.

I just made some frozen kefir last week, using kefir, raw eggs, cream,

blueberries, vanilla and little stevia to sweeten it. It's a bit tart,

but I don't mind that, and it sure beats commercial ice cream for

nutritional value. One could sweeten it more with honey or rapadura if

they'd like it sweeter.

I expect the taste and texture of homemade ice cream will deteriorate long

before it'll " go bad " in a technical sense.
