Ice Cream, Gelato and
Frozen Dessert Makers
Frozen desserts are a great family treat that
are enjoyed around the world all year long. You make these treats healthier
because you control the recipes. Select the amount and type of sweeteners
and make great tasting low fat recipes. Ingredients are fresher and tastier
and there is no need for unnatural ingredients, artificial flavors or
colorings. Supermarket fruit based ice creams, sorbets and sherbets can
never be as good as freshly home made. Commercially available fruit based
frozen desserts must be cooked to provide a long shelf life and this
destroys flavor and nutrients.
The most common types of frozen desserts are
Ice Cream, Gelato, Sorbets, Frozen Yogurt and Sherbets.
-
Ice Cream
- The primary ingredient in ice cream are cream, eggs and sugar.
Whipped air is incorporated into the mixture to give it a certain
consistency. Lighter ice creams with more air are easier to scoop
and they melt more quickly. Premium ice creams have less air and are
more dense and harder to scoop when frozen. Supermarket ice creams
contain additional ingredients for mass consumer appeal and to aid
in production and storage.
Here are the common
ingredients of supermarket ice creams:
-
Milkfat - Ice cream
requires a milkfat level of 10% or greater to be
classified as ice cream. Premium brands have higher
milkfat content, as much as 16%. "Light" ice cream
will have milkfat levels below 10% and "Ice Milk"
has 3% to 5% milkfat.
-
Milk Solids - These
ingredients are used to provide texture and body to
the ice cream and make up 9% to 12%. Most common
ingredients are concentrated skim milk or skim milk
powders.
-
Sweeteners - A sweet
ice cream is demanded by most consumers and can make
up 12% to 16% of total weight. Most common
Sweeteners
are sucrose and corn syrup.
-
Stabilizers and Emulsifiers
- Stabilizers extend the shelf life of ice cream and
limits re-crystallization when thawing and refreezing
occurs during transport, storage and consumption.
Common stabilizers include locust bean gum, guar
gum, xanthan gum and carrageenan. Emulsifiers aid in
maintaining a good consistency of the fat and water
components of the mixture. Most commonly used are
Polysorbate 80 and mono- and di-glycerides. These
ingredients make up 0.2-0.5%.
-
Water - Between
55% and 64% of ice cream is water which may be added
or derived from the milk and other ingredients.
-
Other -
Additional ingredients found in ice cream include
artificial colors, flavorings and other substances
that aid in manufacturing, storage and appearance.
|
- Gelato - The word
for ice cream in Italian is "Gelato". In the USA and other
English speaking countries, it is referred to ice cream that is
made the "Italian way". Gelato is a
dense mixture with lower fat than ice cream and no added air. Unlike ice
cream, Gelato ingredients are not homogenized together. Gelato
usually includes less cream and more milk and egg yolks than ice cream.
A rich creamy treat.
- Sorbet
- These treats have no milk, cream or eggs. These are frozen fruit ices, which
are best enjoyed when freshly made and still soft. They should not
contain ice crystals and have a silky texture. The main ingredients are
sugar, lemon juice and fresh fruit. They are simple and refreshingly
tart.
- Frozen Yogurt
- Similar texture to ice cream, but has
lower fat and active bacterial cultures.
-
Sherbets
- Similar to Sorbets, Sherbets are usually fruit flavored ices, but they
contain more ingredients such as milk, egg whites or gelatin. Sherbets
can have about 2% milkfat and provides a lighter texture than ice cream.
Fully Automatic
Ice Cream and Frozen Dessert Makers
These units have their own freezer
mechanism with built in compressors and refrigeration to produce
frozen desserts of all types. No salt or ice is needed and no
containers are put in the freezer. The advantages to using self
refrigerating machines include:
-
Self refrigeration units
bring the ingredients to temperatures below freezing. This is
necessary in making "Low Fat" ice cream and frozen desserts
such as Sherbets, Sorbets and Gelato. Ice cream makers that use a
container cooled in a freezer can not get temperatures low enough to
freeze low fat recipes.
-
Self contained units are
convenient. Simply add the ingredients and press the start button.
Clean-up is easy.
-
Make multiple batches continuously. Enjoy different recipes and
flavors one right after another. No need to wait hours or overnight
to cool a container in the freezer for another batch.

- Semi Automatic
Ice Cream and Frozen Dessert Makers
- Unlike fully automatic frozen
dessert makers with built in refrigeration and continuous output, these units require a specially designed cooler
container be placed in the freezer to get the container to a low
temperature. The container maintains a cold temperature during
the mixing of the ingredients to produce a finished product.
These units work well with higher fat recipes that do not
require very low temperatures to harden. No
salt or ice is needed, simply add the ingredients to the
pre-cooled container and turn the Ice Cream Maker on to mix the ingredients as it
hardens. Container must be re-cooled
to make additional batches.
