Homemade ice cream made from milk - the general principles of cooking
• In order for homemade ice cream to come out of milk in a soft and homogeneous consistency, a special device, a freezer (ice cream maker), is used to make it.

• The constant components of any homemade ice cream made from milk are the milk itself and sugar. Depending on the recipe of a particular type of ice cream, you may need: eggs, exclusively their yolks, cream, butter, starch or flour, gelatin or brewed coffee, chocolate.

The more often they mix or whip the frozen ice cream in the first three hours, the more uniform it will be. It is recommended to do this no less than every quarter of an hour, but it can be every half hour.
