If you're like most of us you're used to taking the leftovers from the morning pot, pouring it over ice and leaving it in the fridge. Unfortunately this method leaves you with bitter, weak tasting coffee that is less than desirable. If you really want to make a great milk ice cream coffee, there are a couple of things you'll need to know in advance. Let us take you behind the coffee shop counter so you can hear straight talk from a true Barista about how to make the best iced coffee.
I know that what you look for is far more than an ice cream, but the same concept applies here, because compliments are so powerful. As Mark Twain once said," I can live for two months on a good compliment." A great way to make someone feel happy is to use words that cheer him up. If you keep at it long enough, and that the man in your life gets used to it, you will become the one in charge.
To turn this in to a Ginger Crunch ice cream follow the ice cream recipe for Ginger Crunch below and add half of the crunch mix a few minutes before the ice cream maker has finished. The remainder of the ginger crunch can be used as a topping when you serve it.
Any insoluble particles in the milk, such as bits of curd or dirt etc., collect as 'separator slime' and are thrown outward as the bowl operates and pass along with the skim milk into the space between the outer edge of the discs and the inner space of the bowl shell. Such material is deposited on this space of the bowl shell, which is removed later. Separator bowl operates at speeds as great as 20,000 rpm. The separator is a precision instrument and hence has to be in good condition and operated properly to get maximum skimming efficiency.
Put milk and sugar in the quart sized bag and seal it, milk first then sugar. For vanilla add the vanilla extract, for chocolate add the cocoa powder, and if you want ice cream you could add in the 1/4 c. of chocolate or butterscotch chips. You can experiment with other flavors by adding in 1/2 - 1 tsp of flavored syrups like caramel or strawberry or even almond or lemon extracts.
One that I'd definitely suggest checking out is the caramelized pear and toasted pecan flavor, which has exactly what it sounds like it'd have inside. The base ice cream is a vanilla, and the mix of these ingredients is simply delicious. If you're a fan of the fruit itself, you'll absolutely like this variety.
For the summer months you really need to treat yourself to an ice cream maker. It is something you will use a lot and will enjoy, particularly if you do any entertaining.
