Ice cream appeared even during the existence of Napoleon III. Despite the fact that this dessert comes from France, it is very loved in all European countries.
Over time, the composition of the ice cream "Ice cream" has changed, but the basis has remained unchanged. Prepare a treat of whole milk or cream with the addition of butter and eggs.
Story
In Soviet times, ice cream was the cheapest treat. For just 19 cents, you could buy a delicious natural ice cream. They made ice cream at home from milk, from the best products of high fat content. That is why the taste of ice cream of those times was unforgettable and very bright.
For the first time this cream ice cream was made in France in the small town of Plombières-les-Bains. One confectioner from this city soaked fruits and berries in vodka, and then added a mixture of frozen eggs and cream to them. From here the name of ice cream and its recipe went. Since the creation of the dessert, its recipe has changed a lot. For a long time, ice cream in the USSR was produced according to strict standards. The recipe for Soviet ice cream "Ice cream" for some time was not disclosed. Since 1966, it began to be manufactured according to inter-republican standards.
The composition of ice cream "Ice cream" according to GOST (USSR)
To prepare a real ice cream, you need to choose only high-quality and natural products. You will need 4 egg yolks, cream 10% (200 ml) and 35% (500 ml) fat, a glass of powdered sugar and vanillin (vanilla sugar can be).
How to cook?
The preparation of such a dessert requires some skill. The yolks must be mixed with powdered sugar and whipped with cream of 10% fat. Vanillin should be added to the mixture and put on low heat. Stirring continuously, bring the mixture to a boil. We check readiness as it thickens. If the yolks are folded, then the product is spoiled. This procedure should be started anew.
After the creamy mass has thickened, it needs to be frozen, having previously cooled. It is worth passing the cream through a sieve so that there are no lumps.
While the mass will "rest" in the freezer, it is necessary to whip the cream 35% to a thick foam. They must be re-mixed and whipped with a cream that is frozen until half-ready in the freezer. The resulting mass is again sent to the refrigerator. After 1.5 hours, it should be mixed again.
It was according to this classic recipe that ice cream was prepared according to GOST in the USSR. This taste is remembered by our parents and grandparents. It is currently very difficult to find a similar ice cream. As a rule, such a delicacy will be expensive.
The difference between ice cream and cream ice cream
The most important difference between these treats is the percentage of fat. Ice cream is a fatty ice cream. The percentage of fat in it is 12-20%. And milk cream ice cream is less fat and high-calorie (8-12% fat). Due to such an amount of milk fat, ice cream is much tastier and richer. The composition of the ice cream "Sundae", which is sold in the store, should be as close as possible to the home. Minimum preservatives and dyes.
Homemade ice cream
