Hello!

Previously, I did not know at all about VkusVille, about Izbenka. I came across a review about ice cream, looked at what it was ... Miraculously, I found out that we have an Izbenka in our city. Then another one was opened. I could not resist and bought "Salted Caramel". A very unusual and attractive name.

Description from the site:

Ice cream is made from cream and milk with sugar, egg yolk, butter and sea salt.
The ice cream is handmade entirely from natural ingredients, without the use of milk powder, vegetable fats, gum and carrageenan.
The manufacturer makes all the ingredients for ice cream himself. Caramel sauce is cooked according to a French recipe.
Sea salt gives this ice cream an unusual flavor. Salt is added, of course, very little, just to make the taste more expressive.

In the composition, I really just have nothing to fight, he is perfect.

Farm cream and milk, sugar, egg yolks, butter, tapioca starch and sea salt.

Tapioca starch is the most harmless, natural starch. Well, unlike completely chemical thickeners, all starch is more or less normal.

Taste is good but too sweet in my opinion. I won’t say that it’s sugary, but it’s a bit too much caramel. But I did not feel the salt at all, only a slight aftertaste, very barely noticeable. The consistency is pleasant, but sometimes lumps of butter come across, this is due to the fact that the ice cream is mixed by hand. Cream color, very soft. The smell is sweet. milky, unrealistically pleasant.

I recommend trying it, but I won't take it again. I didn’t particularly like this ice cream, but I would really like to try other types. Also impressed with the price for a tiny jar. It weighs 70-80 grams, that is, 130 ml, and costs 67 rubles.

Everyone loves it - both adults and children. Ice cream is a product that will probably never cease to be in demand. But the question arises: is it possible to cook your favorite delicacy at home? Let's figure it out.

History of ice cream

This delicious, beloved by almost everyone delicacy, is already more than 5 thousand years old. Yes, back in 3,000 BC, the Chinese elite treated themselves to a dessert made from a mixture of snow, ice, lemon, orange, and pomegranate seeds. And the recipe for this delicacy and another, simpler one, made from milk and ice, was kept secret for several millennia, and was revealed only in the 11th century AD.

In antiquity, there are also many references to ice cream - both in Greece and in Rome. Hippocrates spoke about its benefits. And during the reign of Alexander the Great, they loved to feast on frozen berries and fruits.

For snow, slaves were sent to the mountains, who even specially trained in order to be able to run fast. After all, it was necessary to have time to fly from the mountains before the snow melted.

And at the very end of the 13th century, Marco Polo from his travels brought to Europe a new recipe for a delicacy, for which saltpeter was used to freeze. From that moment on, not a single aristocratic and royal dinner could do without ice cream.

The recipes were kept in the strictest confidence. And ice cream makers were the subject of envy and cruel intrigues among the nobility, they were even taken away from each other, tempting them with some tempting promises. And then more - the recipe for ice cream, in general, has become a state secret.

It’s strange to hear about this now, when dessert can be purchased at any grocery store, and, of course, you can cook it yourself. And at home, ice cream is easy to make, even without an ice cream maker. The secret has come true.

Types of ice cream

Let's go back to our time. Modern delicacy can be classified by composition, taste, texture. For example, the composition of ice cream is divided as follows:

• A delicacy based on animal fat (plombir, milk and cream).
• Ice cream prepared on the basis of vegetable fat (coke or palm oil).
• Fruit ice. A hard dessert made from juice, puree, yogurt, etc.
• Sorbet or sorbet. Soft ice cream. Cream, fats and eggs are very rarely added to the composition. Sometimes the recipe contains weak alcohol. Prepared from fruit and berry juices and puree.

Tastes are very diverse. Cold sweetness can be chocolate, vanilla, coffee, berry, fruit, etc. In general, there are more than seven hundred dessert flavors in the world. Of course, we are all used to the fact that ice cream is a sweet product.

But in fact, whatever it is: with pork cracklings, and garlic, and tomato, and fish. The variety of your favorite dessert is simply amazing.

The division by consistency implies the division of ice cream into hardened (production), soft (public catering) and homemade. How to cook the latter, we will consider in this article.

ice cream calories

The calorie content of the product depends on its type. For example, 100 grams:

• ice cream - 225 kcal;
• cream ice cream - 185 kcal;
• milk treats - 130 kcal;
• popsicle - 270 kcal.

And also the energy value changes due to additives. Chocolate ice cream will already be 231 kcal. And if milk ice cream is prepared with chocolate, then it will also have a higher nutritional value - 138 kcal. But still, even being on a diet, you can choose the least high-calorie dessert for yourself.

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup salt

2 bags with string lock

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 tablespoon sugar

topping on request

1. Mix milk, vanilla and sugar in a smaller bag. Close the bag so that as little air as possible remains inside.

2. Place ice and salt in a large bag.

3. Place the small bag inside the larger one and close the large bag leaving as little air as possible. Wrap the bag in a towel or put on gloves and shake and rub the bag so that the ice coats the mixture inside the small bag.
