Hey nice people, we seem to like to make our own stuff here and we are all sitting on a metric ton of food safe flavourings (actually, even VG and PG have their place here).
So, obsessive little me got an ice cream maker – one of the cheap frozen bowls type ones – for my birthday, and we (the ice cream maker and I) are experimenting.
See, as I internally process lactose in a manner not dissimilar to mech mod on a wet day*, the options are a bit limited for me otherwise.
I have been reading quite a lot on the subject and know that hydrocolloids are complicated** but fun ***. And my first attemts do show the need to research bases and techniques; taste is surprisingly easy to achieve but texture/scoopability, refrost properties after scooping hard.
Anyone gone the same route and experimented with flavours/additives on this front ?
I take any general recipe advice as well.
*explosively outgasing – completely free jab at the mech mod people, indeed
