Coffee ice cream. Cooking coffee ice cream at home
I tried making ice cream at home several times, but the experiments were unsuccessful. I was almost desperate, so when I received an invitation to take part in the test drive of the book "Homemade Ice Cream" from the "Culinary Experiments" series of the Eksmo Publishing House, I gladly started to study the book and with excitement got down to business with renewed vigor and faith in success. And how can you not believe it: more than 30 recipes, clear instructions and advice, available ingredients and verified proportions will help you prepare a cool treat for a sultry day. The undisputed adornment of the book is a photo of ready-made ice cream, which suggests not only how to cook, but also how to serve the dessert profitably.
As for my first recipe for this book, I can say that I would rate my work at 4. It seems to me that the taste of the resulting delicacy is very balanced and harmonious, it is less high in calories compared to ice cream prepared on the basis of heavy cream, but the structure of the ice cream itself is still not very uniform, with pieces of ice.
The ice cream industry has come a long way over hundreds of years. From simple frozen juice to modern varieties. Pistachio ice cream, strawberry ice cream, coffee ice cream and dozens of other popular varieties are presented to the consumer to choose from.
Ice cream is prepared in huge factories and small cafes. But it's not a problem to prepare a popular delicacy at home. Of course, it is easier to do this with a special ice cream maker, but you can do without it.

The principle of making ice cream at home
The process of making ice cream at home is quite laborious, it involves the use of special equipment - ice cream makers.
The old-fashioned principle.
We need a cylindrical tub and a bowl (shape) with a tight lid with a diameter and height less than the inner diameter and height of the tub.
Crushed ice mixed with salt is poured onto the bottom of the tub, a bowl is set up, and the space between them is filled with pieces of salted ice. The form should be filled with mass, covered with a lid and rotated in different directions alternately.
Periodically, the mixture must be stirred with a spoon in order to remove the frozen layer of mass from the walls. Repeat several times. The readiness of the mass is determined by appearance- the absence of lumps, the consistency should be thick, like sour cream. After that, the bowl is closed with a lid, covered with a thick cloth on top and kept for 2-3 hours until the mass finally solidifies.
Today, the industry offers household electrical appliances, ice cream makers, for making this dessert at home. The device and mechanism of action are simple.
The base is a double-walled bowl, the interior of which is filled with refrigerant. A stirring paddle is included with the bowl. Rotation and stirring are produced by an electric motor. Cooling is carried out by the built-in compressor in case the ice cream maker is automatic. As for the semi-automatic devices, in this case the process will be quite lengthy, because the bowl with the future ice cream is cooled in the freezer.
The photo shows a sample of an electric ice cream maker As it freezes, at regular intervals, the bowl is removed from the freezer, kneaded and placed back in the freezer. And so on until ready, i.e. obtaining a homogeneous and thick mass.
Those who do not have anything special at hand, but really want to make ice cream at home, should not despair. There is an exit. And it's very simple. Do everything by hand using a freezer, plastic container, spoon and whisk.
The recipe for making ice cream may differ, but the principle of cooling is the same. The mass in the container is placed in the freezer. After 2 hours, beat and leave for another 2 hours. Repeat whipping, removing the frozen layer from the walls of the mold. And again put in the freezer for 2-3 hours until tender.
So, having got acquainted with the principle of making ice cream at home, you can study the recipes.
