IN ACTION<br />
we all scream for icecream!<br />
This activity and recipe are from the newly updated Milk Makes It Better project resource. Thank you to the Dairy Farmers of<br />
<strong>Ontario</strong> for supporting this project resource update! A big thanks also goes to John Drummond for sharing these ice cream making<br />
techniques at the <strong>2012</strong> 4-H <strong>Ontario</strong> Conference & Annual Meeting Milk Makes It Better workshop.<br />
The Melt Test Experiment<br />
How can you tell the quality of ice cream One way is the price. Premium (highest quality) ice cream is usually more expensive, partly<br />
because it contains less air. It therefore takes longer to melt. Check it out for yourself!<br />
• Place a small scoop of regular ice cream in one bowl and the same sized scoop of premium ice cream in another.<br />
• The one that contains the least amount of air will melt more slowly.<br />
• Using a stop watch, check the samples every 10 minutes. Observe the samples and write down your findings.<br />
Make Your Own Vanilla Ice Cream In Minutes<br />
Ingredients<br />
• ice<br />
• salt<br />
• 500mL (2 cups) whipping cream<br />
• 175mL (¾ cup) sugar<br />
• 0.5mL (1/8 tsp) salt<br />
• 500mL (2 cups) table cream<br />
• 7mL (1 tsp) vanilla<br />
Equipment<br />
Small can that will fit inside a coffee can OR small and large Ziploc bags,<br />
dry measures, liquid measures, and small measuring spoons.<br />
Instructions<br />
1. Mix salt and ice together. The salt will make the ice even colder!<br />
Keep ice in the freezer or in a cooler.<br />
2. Combine whipping cream, sugar, salt, table cream and vanilla. Stir<br />
until sugar dissolves and refrigerate for a couple of hours to allow<br />
flavours to blend.<br />
3. Pour mixture into a small can, fix lid tightly and place inside a coffee<br />
can (or pour mixture into small Ziploc bag, seal bag and place inside<br />
larger Ziploc bag).<br />
4. Place ice (that has had salt added) to the large can (or put in the<br />
large Ziploc bag).<br />
5. Roll can around OR shake Ziploc bag for approximately 10 minutes.<br />
Mixture should start to solidify.<br />
6. Enjoy your ice cream!<br />
**Recipe Variation: Add 250mL (1 cup) crushed chocolate chips or crushed Oreo<br />
cookies to ice cream mixture just before churning.<br />
