The history of ice cream

This delicious, beloved by almost everyone delicacy is more than 5 thousand years old. Yes, back in 3000 BC, the Chinese elite were treated to a dessert made from a mixture of snow, ice, lemon, orange and pomegranate seeds. And the recipe for this delicacy and another, simpler one, made of milk and ice, was kept secretly for several millennia, and was discovered only in the 11th century AD.

In antiquity, there are also many references to ice cream - both in Greece and in Rome. Hippocrates spoke about its benefits. And during the reign of Alexander the Great they loved to feast on frozen berries and fruits.

For the snow, slaves were sent to the mountains, who even specially trained in order to be able to run fast. After all, it was necessary to have time to fly from the mountains before the snow melted.

And at the very end of the XIII century, Marco Polo brought from his travels to Europe new recipe treats for which saltpeter was used to freeze. From that moment on, not a single aristocratic and royal dinner was complete without ice cream.

The recipes were kept in the strictest confidence. And ice cream makers were the subject of envy and cruel intrigues among the nobility, they were even taken away from each other, tempted by any tempting promises. And then more - the ice cream recipe, in general, became a state secret.

It is strange to know about this now, when the dessert can be purchased at any grocery store, and, of course, cook it yourself. And at home, ice cream is easy to make, even without an ice cream maker. The mystery has come true.

Types of ice cream

Let's go back to our time. A modern delicacy can be classified according to its composition, taste, and consistency. For example, the composition of ice cream is divided as follows:

  • Ice cream based on vegetable fat (coke or palm oil).
  • Fruit ice. A solid dessert made from juice, puree, yoghurt, etc.
  • Sorbet or sorbet. Soft ice cream. Cream, fats and eggs are very rarely added to the composition. Sometimes mild alcohol is present in the recipe. Prepared from fruit and berry juices and purees.

There are a wide variety of tastes. Cold sweetness can be chocolate, vanilla, coffee, berry, fruit, etc. In general, there are more than seven hundred dessert flavors in the world. Of course, we are all used to the fact that ice cream is a sweet product.

But in fact, whatever it is: with pork rinds, and garlic, and tomato, and fish. The variety of your favorite dessert is simply amazing.

The division by consistency implies the division of ice cream into seasoned (production), soft (catering) and homemade. We will look at how to cook the latter in this article.

Calorie content of ice cream

  • ice cream - 225 kcal;
  • creamy ice cream - 185 kcal;
  • milk treats - 130 kcal;
  • popsicle - 270 kcal.

And energy value changes due to additives. The chocolate ice cream will already be 231 kcal. And if milk ice cream is prepared with chocolate, then it will also have a higher nutritional value - 138 kcal. But still, even being on a diet, you can choose the least high-calorie dessert for yourself.

How to make ice cream at home

If you want to experiment and make more complex ice cream, you don't need recipes. It is enough to know the rules of cooking, and choose the ingredients later.

So, there are eight nuances in making homemade ice cream:

  • Add a thickener.

Ice cream without a thickener melts quickly and tastes too harsh. To prevent this, use lemon juice, egg yolks, starch, or gelatin as a thickener.

  • Flavoring additives.

Add liquid sweeteners and syrups to the main mixture before going to the freezer.

On the other hand, include nuts and pieces of fruit in the composition at the last stages of freezing, stirring thoroughly.

  • About products and proportions.

Use icing sugar instead of regular sugar. It makes the cream softer and more airy.
