How do make hard ice cream by hard ice cream machine?

The raw materials for making hard ice creams are mainly water, hard ice cream powder, and other kinds of fillings like eggs, fruit jam, and chocolate jam. The first step is to mix the ice cream powder and water evenly. Until the ice cream powder and water dissolve into a viscous liquid and the stirring time is about 5 minutes.

Then add the pulp into the electric hard ice cream machine container and push the freezing button. The setting of hard ice cream processing time is about 25-30 minutes. Different kinds of ice cream slurry have different processing times.

When the buzzer sounds, it indicates that the hard ice cream is finished. The final hard ice creams will fall through the discharging outlet. We should use a container to collect the hard ice creams. If you want special flavors, you can choose different hard ice cream recipes.

Steps for mixing the ice cream pulp

• Preparation of raw materials: ice cream powder, ice cream milk slurry, purified water, jam, or biscuit residue can also be used.
• Measure an appropriate amount of pure water with a measuring cup and pour it into a stainless steel bucket. Pour the ice cream powder slowly into a bucket filled with pure water, and stir while pouring.
• Stir vigorously until the ice cream powder and water dissolve into a viscous liquid. The stirring time is about 5 minutes. If an electric stirrer is used, the stirring effect will be better.
• Then put a lid on the stainless steel barrel and let it stay in a static state for about 15 to 20 minutes. After standing still, pour the liquid into the hard ice cream maker.

Tips for making hard ice cream

The ratio of ice cream powder and purified water is 1:2.5 or 1:3. This ratio is the best, do not expand the range of the ratio, otherwise, it will seriously affect the quality of the ice cream produced. Before stirring the ice cream powder and water, you can add a certain amount of milk slurry (about 1 kg), which can make the taste of the ice cream purer.

After the hard ice cream is made, it must be placed in the quick-freezer at -35℃ as soon as possible to ensure the stable structure of the ice cream, the unique color and fragrance, and the unique surface shape. The amount and area of ​​the ice cream determines the quick-freezing time. Generally, the surface hardening can be achieved between 3-10 minutes.

After quick-frozen ice cream must be placed in a display cabinet at -15 to -18°C for display and sale as soon as possible. Keep the inherent shape of the hard ice cream through the refrigeration of the showcase to ensure that it does not melt and is hygienic. In addition, showing the unique beauty of ice cream to customers through the display cabinet will attract more consumers’ attention.

What is hard ice cream?

Hard ice cream, also called gelato, handmade ice cream, or fruit ice cream. Hard ice cream originated in Italy, and it is called Gelato in Italian. This kind of hard ice cream is made by mixing milk, sugar, cream, or fruit pulp by quickly stirring and freezing.

Since hard ice cream contains very little cream, most of them can be made with fresh fruits, and they are very popular in the market in recent years. The puffing rate of hard ice cream is about 20%, and after quick freezing, its taste is relatively firm.

The main difference between soft ice cream and hard ice cream

Hard ice cream specifically refers to pre-packaged ice cream products, mainly processed at the factory. Its hardening molding expansion rate is about 80%, which is convenient for packaging and transportation. It can be seen from the shape that it is hard and the internal ice particles are thick. Soft ice cream is based on the full mixing of ice cream powder and other mixtures without a hardening process.

Soft ice cream is a mixture of ice cream products with an expansion ratio of about 60%. Soft ice cream is usually more slippery, has a short shelf life, and requires high hygienic conditions. Second, soft serve ice cream requires a soft serve ice cream making machine.

The main differences between hard ice cream and soft ice cream are as follows:

1. Raw materials: Soft ice cream is made from soft ice cream powder or ice cream slurry; hard ice cream is made from hard ice cream powder, and their raw materials cannot be mixed because of different ingredients.
2. Puffing rate: The soft ice cream has no hardening process in the production process, and the expansion rate is 30%-60%. Generally, it can be sold by the ice cream machine. The hard ice cream has an expansion ratio of 80% to 100%, and the hardening molding is for packaging and transportation.
3. Nutritional ingredients: Usually, soft ice cream contains more (about 1.6 times) nutrients than the same size as hard ice cream; the softened ice cream without hardening will also be more slippery and mellow.
4. Freezing temperature: The center temperature of the soft ice cream is -5℃, and the center temperature of the hard ice cream is -15℃.
