Ice Cream Lover

A grumpy man who detests ice cream meets a cheerful woman who owns an ice cream shop. I hate ice cream. Ever since my fiancée left me at the altar and skewered me in her bestseller “Embrace Your Inner Ice Cream Sandwich: Finding the Positive You in a World of Negativity,” I haven’t been able to stomach the stuff. Unfortunately, my five-year-old niece is a budding foodie and her favorite place in the world is Ginger Scoops, a cutesy Asian ice cream shop. Since I’ve been looking after my niece a lot lately, I’ve spent too much time there, sipping black coffee, refusing to eat ice cream, and trying not to look at the owner, Chloe Jenkins. Chloe is obnoxiously cheerful, and I can’t stand her. Naturally, I end up kissing her. But I’ve sworn off women after the fiasco with my ex-fiancée, and I’m convinced I’m no good at relationships. Still, with Chloe I’m tempted to do the impossible: give love and ice cream another chance… * * * Jackie Lau writes soft and steamy romances with Asian characters and lots of food.

With more than 100 recipes for ice cream flavors and revolutionary mix-ins from a James Beard-nominated pastry chef, Hello, My Name is Ice Cream explains not only how to make amazing ice cream, but also the science behind the recipes so you can understand ice cream like a pro. Hello, My Name is Ice Cream is a combination of three books every ice cream lover needs to make delicious blends: 1) an approchable, quick-start manual to making your own ice cream, 2) a guide to help you think about how flavors work together, and 3) a dive into the science of ice cream with explanations of how it forms, how air and sugars affect texture and flavor, and how you can manipulate all of these factors to create the ice cream of your dreams. The recipes begin with the basics—super chocolately chocolate and Tahitian vanilla—then evolve into more adventurous infusions, custards, sherbets, and frozen yogurt styles. And then there are the mix-ins, simple treats elevated by Cree's pastry chef mind, including chocolate chips designed to melt on contact once you bite them and brownie bits that crunch.

Most ice cream lovers know the frozen treat contains milk, sugar, and cream. However, there's a science to making ice cream, and one of the most important ingredients is air. Readers learn how many ingredients are churned together to form the crowd pleaser, while also learning the function of each ingredient.

Whether you are using grandma's old hand-cranked ice cream maker, or one of the modern toss-ball types, there are some constants that are good to keep in mind while making ice cream at home. Crank freezers tend to have a larger 2-4 quart capacity than other ice cream makers, especially in the older models. More modern ice cream makers that do not require ice tend to be of 1-2 quart capacity. If you are making small batches with the ice-less type and want to make larger quantities, you might freeze the ice cream in separate smaller containers, or combine the batches in a larger container in your regular freezer. If you are making larger amounts for a gathering, make most of your ice cream in advance so as not to squander large blocks of time manning the ice cream maker while you have guests. Selecting The Perfect Ice Cream Maker by Michelle Spencer is perfect in helping you find the best Ice Cream Maker for making Ice Cream in the comfort of your home. Be sure to read the manufacturer's instructions with any ice cream maker, crank or otherwise. Unless otherwise instructed, always start your project by washing the lid, can, and dasher (scraper) with hot soapy water. Be sure to rinse everything well, and scald with boiling water. This will sterilize your equipment, preventing bacteria from getting to the milk or cream in your mix. Check your lid and make sure it fits well to prevent leaking. Find out more trade secrets on how to make the best homemade ice cream and how to select that great ice cream maker.
