Respond to them and let us build our knowledge about ice-cream.
Ice cream is simply named as it is cream (with or without added flavourings) simply frozen.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it called ice-cream?The origins of ice cream can be traced back to at least the 4th century B.C. Early references include the Roman emperor Nero (A.D. 37-68) who ordered ice to be brought from the mountains and combined with fruit toppings, and King Tang (A.D. 618-97) of Shang, China who had a method of creating ice and milk concoctions. Ice cream was likely brought from China back to Europe. Over time, recipes for ices, sherbets, and milk ices evolved and served in the fashionable Italian and French royal courts.
ReplyDeleteDo we need eggs for the ice-cream? you do not need eggs to make ice-cream.
ReplyDeleteQ3 : 3. Ingredients:
ReplyDelete5 egg yolks (beaten)
4oz (100g) caster sugar
¾ pint (375ml) full cream milk
¾ pint (375ml) heavy/double cream
1 vanilla pod (scored down the middle)
Optional extra: 1 level teaspoon cornflour (for a thicker texture or when using an ice cream maker with a bowl that has to be frozen in advance)
Method: Pour the milk into a saucepan and bring slowly up to boiling point but DO NOT LET IT BOIL. Place the vanilla pod into it and leave to infuse for about 20 minutes. In a bowl, beat and mix together the egg yolks and sugar (and cornflour if using it) until thick. Carefully remove the vanilla pod from the pan of milk and scrape out the seeds into the milk. Pour the milk into the mixture of egg yolks and sugar whilst stirring. Pour the mixture back into the pan and heat gently, stirring until the custard thickens - DO NOT BRING TO THE BOIL OR IT WILL PROBABLY CURDLE. When you see a film form over the back of your spoon it's time to remove the saucepan from the heat. Leave to cool.
When the custard base is cold stir in the cream and transfer to a chilled bowl. For best results refrigerate the mix for at least 3 hours (overnight if you have the time). Transfer the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Serves 8-10.
Q4 :you can choose to put in egg or no egg

ReplyDeleteAfter the dessert was imported to the United States, it was served by several famous Americans. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson served it to their guests. In 1700, Governor Bladen of Maryland was recorded as having served it to his guests. In 1774, a London caterer named Philip Lenzi announced in a New York newspaper that he would be offering for sale various confections, including ice cream. Dolly Madison served it in 1812.
vanilla comes from a plant called Mexican Orchid. It's the only orchid that bear fruit. The fruits is in pods. Inside the pod are vanilla beans. The pods look like strange beans but black in colour. It grow in places like madagascar and mexico.
