How to make homemade ice cream soft?
I’m making ice cream out of Ensure nutritional drinks for a relative with Alzheimer’s and dysphagia (trouble swallowing, especially thin liquids).
But it’s too soft when it’s just made, and too hard when it’s been in the freezer for a while.
What can I do to make the ice cream have the soft and fluffy texture of store-bought ice cream? Perhaps adding some magic ingredients, or processing it differently to add more air? I’m using a Cuisinart ICE-20 ice cream maker.
Alton Brown (food network) made sorbet on one of his episodes and said that putting a tad of alcohol in it will keep it from freezing rock solid. Since Ensure isn’t really cream, acts more like water, then maybe it would work. Here’s the link to the recipe he used.

You could always write to the Food Network and ask them to devise a recipe for all the people who cannot enjoy regular ice cream.

Van Halen $3.91 At least half of the songs on Van Halen’s eponymous 1978 debut are still considered classics, and the Eddie Van Halen instrumental “Eruption” revolutionized the guitar community by introducing a technique called finger-tapping into the heavy metal lexicon. A magnificent debut for sure, but maybe the band should have held onto a few of their blockbuster tunes to bolster the lean years that started … |
