I love my Anchor Race Stand Mixer. I have ravid about how it is helped me Become a better bakerWhat makes everything from cookies to pizza dough easier and more pleasant. And just when I thought I couldn't love an appliance more, I found a way: I can use it to make ice cream.
I live in South Florida, where there is always ice cream weather, but I'd never made ice cream at home before. I just could not communicate to a large one-use applicants, and make ice cream seemed like a fussy process that didn't feel worth it when I can just buy a pint in the store. But the Ankarsrum ice cream plant plant Changing my mind completely.

This AttachmentWhich is sold separately, consists of five pieces: an outer mixing bowl, a mixing cover, a mixing paddle and a storage cover. To make ice cream with your Ankarsrum, you first freeze the freezer bowl for 24 hours. (Pro top: still making a package, wash the dish and return it to the freezer, so you are always ready to make ice cream when the frozen bowls!) The frozen bowl and cover with the mixing cover. Turn on the car and pour your chilled ice cream base by opening in the mixer cover. And kick back! Leave the ice cream Churn for 20 to 30 minutes, or until thickened. Do not panic if your ice cream does not seem completely frozen at the end of the mixing time; The texture is more than soft service. You can rent directly if you don't hold a softer texture, or cover the dish with the freezer cover, transfer to the freezer for at least six hours until frozen solid, and service (with Hot FudgeMaybe?).
When I do not use the attachment, the five pieces all neatly together with easy storage and in a small kitchen, which is important. I do not add another bulky one-use appliance to my shelves; I get more use of an appliance that is already a workhorse in my kitchen.

Homemade ice cream is silky, rich, and endlessly customizable – and the process is like rewarding as the results. I have tried some recipes, but I keep coming back to two Favorites: Chocolate decadence ice cream (A must for fellow chocolate lovers) and Salted caramel Ice CreamWith the perfect balance of sweet and salty. The real fun comes in the last minute of churning, when you can add mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts or cookie pieces. Sprinkle they gradually during the last two to five minutes, while the car is running, so they remain evenly mixed. With So many recipes To choose from, you will have no trouble finding your next favorite scoop.
For anyone who already owns the Akkarsrum, purchasing the ice cream attachment brings even more versatility to a tool that is already central to your kitchen. Who knew my favorite stone mixer has still one stunt up his sleeve? I am officially out of excuses for not making frozen treats at home – and well-stocked on ice cream.
