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 />
