Benefits of eating ice-cream

Though cold and sugary, you may be surprised to know ice-cream has its share of health benefits too. Of course, it may not be as healthy as sprouts, but it’s healthier than we like to think.

So first of all, ice-cream is an excellent and tasty source of energy. It has carbohydrates, fat and proteins, making it an energy-rich food. It’s also a source of 2 important minerals, calcium and phosphorous. Both these account for stronger, healthier bones. Though not a major source of these minerals, at least we needn’t feel guilty about having ice-cream. You can also find small amounts of vitamin A, D and riboflavin. Dark chocolate contains anti-oxidants and flavonoids. Not only that, ice-cream may increase the dopamine level in our body, making us feel happy, reducing stress levels.

With all these amazing health benefits, no wonder our body gravitates towards ice-cream!

Store-bought Ice-cream

Since the main ingredients of ice-cream are milk, sugar and fruits or flavors, what good you get out of the ice-cream depends on what goes into making it. This means, the delicious ice-cream you get in the stores may or may not be healthy, since many of them use milk powder combines with synthetic flavours and chemicals. More often than not, they’re made of water, milk solids, sugars, starch, stabilizing and emulsifying agents. Clearly none of these can do us much good!

Therefore, the solution is to prepare ice-cream at home, with our own choice of quality ingredients.

How to make Vanilla Ice-cream with Cuisinart

With ice-cream makers, the freezing bowl needs to be put in the freezer at least the night before. For best results, it’s recommended to be kept for 24 hours, covered with a poly bag. This step is really important to get the right texture in the end result. To check whether the bowl is ready for use, shake it well after taking it out of the freezer. If you hear any liquid moving around, the bowl isn’t ready and should be put back in the freezer for some more time. The same goes for your ice-cream mixture. It should be refrigerated or chilled for best results.

Once your ice-cream mixture is ready, plug in the unit, place the frozen bowl on to the base, put in the mixing arm, fix the lid and turn on the unit. Pour in your mixture and let it get churned for 25 minutes.

In other ice-cream makers, it’s normally the mixing arm that rotates, but in Cuisinart, the base rotates the freezing bowl around the mixing arm. The advantage is that this prevents the mixing arm from getting stuck in the mixtures as it thickens. It starts doing so about 12 minutes into the mixing. If you wish to add in some more ingredients to your ice-cream like chocolate chips or fruit bits, do so in the last 5 mins of churning. If you find the ice-cream is too soft and falling off the mixing arm, you can continue to churn it for another 5-10 minutes.

Once done, the ice-cream will have a soft, thick, creamy texture. If you wish to have a firmer texture, transfer the ice-cream contents into an air-tight plastic container and put it in the freezer for 2 hours. Remove it 15 mins before serving.

There you are! Now just sit back and enjoy your own home made ice-cream, that’s not just tasty like store-bought ice-cream, but healthier too!
