My 1st attempt at making icecream!! =)
There was no school today, and since I was half hoping to let the ninjas be my latest guinea pigs =S I tried out a triple neapolitan recipe! Used the choc above and about half of the white O.o
The blob of frozen pure cream! Somehow, it froze when placed in my chiller or in the middle compartment of the fridge...lucky me =X
After mixing, the average milkfat was only 39%.
Lovely mess caused by whipping cream. My bowl's not deep enough =(
Quite a lot of time was spent chilling and freezing the bowls & mixer attachment since cream must be whipped under cold conditions...and this is SG, and without an air conditioner!
The whipping cream sort of doubled itself after awhile, and there was a nice consistency as well! =) Separated into 3, then melted the choc. Time was running out =X So after melting the milk choc, I moved on to the dark without washing the saucepan...Here's a last minute attempt at taking a pic of my new blue belt before going for class! Urgh, was almost late for the 1st time as a blue belt.
There was only time to layer after I got home...and sadly, the dark choc layer looks kinda little. The milk choc was pretty good actually. White choc...I was a little blur earlier & added all the molten white to the cold cream, causing bits of hardened choc to form! Anyway I had a lot of fun, if not, messy and oily moments making this!
Yeahhh. The icecream block turned out to be much taller than expected O.o Guess that'll be all!
