ice cream

Found this, it might help you:


Grainy ice cream can be cause by a number of things. It happens when you have too much water or alcohol. Alcohol will lower the temperature at which the ice cream will freeze so don’t add too much of it.

Another cause for this problem is the lactose content. When it freezes lactose produce crystals so if you have too much of it will produce too much crystals. You need to reduce the amount of either milk or cream.

Finally the temperature at which the custard is before freezing plays a active role in the texture. If the mixture is too cold it will freeze faster and produce large ice crystals. To prevent it freeze the custard when it is at a temperature between 27° and 35°F.

:lol:

That was great Kimmie

Thanks
