Ice Cream Evening Chat
-
@LinDaiyu scratch that. the milkshaker i extended i welcoming arm to is a rice enjoyer. They will never be welcome and will never be an ice cream head.

I'm enjoying a pint of coffee flavored haagen-dazs.
Criminally underrated flavor! I've been enjoying Van Leeuwen honeycomb ice cream these past few weeks.

@aanon I've been making ice cream as well the past 6 months and it wasn't until then that I learned almost all heavy creams are using some sort of gumming agent. There is not a single heavy cream at a regular grocery store that doesn't have it. You need to go to a healthier store like Whole Foods or Sprouts to even have a chance at finding heavy cream without any gums.
I've been using the Straus brand that comes in a glass bottle with amazing results.

It's yet another evening and we're spooning down more of God's coldest blessing.
What's tonight's theme? ICE CREAM!!!
Let the world know what you're feasting on this evening.

For me its another night of the classic coffee flavor. i'm not sure it can be beat. there could soon be competition though as the pineapple coconut recommendations have been pouring in. If I don't allow a forum to influence my real life decisions then what am i here for? yes, I shall be going for the pineapple coconut in due time, maybe even cherry vanilla too.

Recipe for ice cream by ray peat, has anyone ever tried this?
I blend an egg (warmed to 40 degrees C) with a cup of sugar (also warmed) and a cup of coconut oil until it's smoothly emulsified, and maybe half a cup of powdered milk for extra texture, then add milk to fill the blender (total volume a little over a liter), with strong coffee or orange juice for flavor, or other fruit or vanilla, etc. The high oil content, and powdered milk, make it freeze without crystallizing, so the ice cream machine isn't necessary.

Gonna be eating the strawberry Haagen dazs for a few weeks before i switch it out again.
-
@catharsis Earl Grey is a delicious flavor
-
@donovan How much do you buy at a time that it lasts for weeks? I'm feeling uncomfortable by your post.
-
@LinDaiyu i go to the shop every day lol. I enjoy walking around at night when no one is there, gets me more steps in as well.
-
@donovan Okay that is based. I used to be a strawberry main but I got a weird huge strawberry in there once with a strange texture that ruined it forever for me
-
@LinDaiyu that’s pretty funny. I was chocolate peanut butter from a local brand for a while before they changed recipes, then switched to Van Leeuwen honeycomb, now various haagen dazs flavors. Which ones you like?
-
@donovan I stick to the classics vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and of course coffee. I'm not very adventurous with ice cream flavors, but i do like to make a coke float now and again. Is the Van Leeuwen honeycomb as good as it looks?
-
@LinDaiyu it is very very good. One of the best I’ve had. Although my friend tried it and he hated it, so i suppose it’s a love it or hate it type

@aanon Costco has heavy whipping cream (Horizon Organic) for about $6 with no excipients. You can pour all of the 64fl oz into a blender with a cup of sugar and handfuls of berries if you want flavor. I've never tried it with adding egg yolks but the above process renders a slightly icy but tasty ice cream. It's not as thick as Haagen Dazs unfortunately but it should be cheaper.
-
@LinDaiyu I have a gallon of vanilla Haagen Dasz in my freezer that I rely on for a lot of my food intake. It goes super good with baked goods though so I'm not complaining.
I've decided to wander for ten years. There were two men - they walked the same road, but after ten years, they discovered completely opposite truths. So I think if I wander for ten years, I'll be able to find my own truth.
