Making ice cream at home is not difficult and can be a good way to serve a dessert or have a tasty and healthy snack. But, if it's easy to make, how is it done? Just start from the basics!
What are ice cream bases?
Ice cream bases constitute the beating heart of ice cream preparation, both for hot and cold preparation, whether you want to make it with water or milk. The bases must not be confused with the neutrals because, unlike them, they are a compound specifically designed to have a perfect mixture of sugars, fats and solids, to which it will only be necessary to add the flavors to obtain the ice cream we like most.
How to use the bases
Since the bases are thickeners useful for obtaining the creamy and velvety preparation at the right point, it will be necessary to combine them with Ice cream bases are powder products that can be mixed with liquid ingredients, such as water, milk and fresh cream; or with solid ingredients, such as sugar, powdered milk, milk proteins. That is, they are thickeners that make the ice cream full-bodied, velvety and warm to the palate: simply create a mixture with them to then combine with the cream paste or fruit paste, based on the flavor of ice cream you want to obtain. If you want to prepare different flavours, rather than making individual preparations each time, you can adopt the ice cream maker's technique. Artisanal ice cream producers generally use a base mix to which they then add other ingredients in order to give the ice cream the flavor of the chosen flavour. Whether prepared on milk or water, with a hot or cold process, the base represents the structure and heart of the artisanal ice cream. The base is a product designed to obtain a perfect mixture in terms of sugars, fats, low-fat milk solids and other solids that are difficult to replicate at home on your own. With our bases, however, you only need to choose and add the pastes to obtain a perfect ice cream with different flavours.
What types of ice cream bases can you use?
Generally, the bases are of two types: fruit and cream, the two main variations of ice cream, from which all the more specific flavors originate.
