Product Review – Kitchenif Ice cream Maker – Vanilla Ice cream and Coffee Custard Ice cream Recipe:

When I first heard custard ice cream I was like what! What is custard doing in an ice cream?. This was new to me. I hated the idea of not knowing about something that I am going to bake so I learnt a lot about Ice creams and all different types actually! I went through “The Perfect Scoop” book by David Lebovitz. He has said all about Ice creams, sorbets and much more.

What are the Types of Ice Cream?

Philadelphia Style and French-style Ice creams!
Philadelphia style is cream and milk based Ice creams and that’s eggless. Store bought are mostly Philadelphia style and they also have artificial emulsifiers like GMS and CMC Powders.
French-style is custard based, which has eggs. They are richer and smoother than the Philadelphia style, because of emulsifying properties of Egg yolks.I haven’t tried using these, but tried to use corn flour to make it creamier.
Now I realised that this is called so because of the cooking method and the emulsifying of the eggs. My first knowledge of custard was, when my mother got the ready made custard powder and made the custard at home and she used to give it to us with fruit salad. Whatever you eat we have to include healthy too you see, the cunningness of a Mom’s mind. But me being the naughty one used to sneak and eat the custard alone and it was one of my guilty pleasures!.
So, when I saw that custard ice cream I wanted to give it a try and be transferred to my childhood. And, as an adult twist it has coffee. I am an ardent coffee lover. My roommate in college used to tease me still now for my coffee and for how I take it but for me it is a heavenly drink. So what more do I want! Oh! And in case you are wondering as to how I take it? Ping me and I’ll let you know 😉 who knows I might even let you in on my coffee making secret!!.

So here are two styles of Ice cream that I made:

  • Vanilla Ice cream that uses 25% cream and 4.5% Milk with corn flour is good, but not creamy enough like store bought ones. But tasted so delicious.
  • Coffee Ice cream that uses Egg Yolks, 30% Cream and 4.5% Milk is so rich and smooth. And Tasted creamy.
Here I used Kitchenif Ice cream Maker.This is my first experience using an Ice cream Maker. I just loved this compact Ice cream maker which makes my work so much simpler 🙂 !

Basic Specifications to know about Kitchenif icecream maker:

  • It has 1.5 liter capacity canister, in which you can add at a maximum of 800 ml of liquid icecream base. Since it will double in volume.
  • It has a Digital Timer, that you can set for up to 35min. At the end, you will get a soft serve icecream and you have to freeze for atleast 3 hours to make it hard.
  • This Icecream Maker is so compact and easy to handle. Cleaning is so easy. You have to remove the motor before cleaning it.

How to use Kitchenif Icecream Maker?

  1. First point to note is Freezing the canister for atleast 8-12 hours. The inner liquid should be frozen completely. You can be assured of b it, when there is no sound while you shake it.
  2. Use only Full Fat Cream or milk. In India, at a maximum of 30% Fat Cream and 4.5% Whole Milk is available.
  3. The Base liquid should be super chill before adding to the icecream maker. I usually make it a day before and put in fridge for atleast 8 hours and the last 1 hour in freezer.
  4. Do not set the timer more than 35 minutes, because the canister bowl will loose its chillness. But within that you will get a soft serve icecream.
  5. Canister bowl can be frozen only in a double door refrigerator. Since the single doors doesn’t have the required temperature to freeze it.
