Why Is My Homemade Ice Cream Icy. Ice-creams can turn icy for a number of reasons. This is a big dont as overmixing will cause the ice cream to turn well icy.
I love making homemade ice cream and experimenting with flavours. Once your ice cream melts slightly those crystals form and bond together changing the mixture to. Large ice crystals are usually the result of either too much water in the mix or excessively long freezing time.
An ice-cream base is usually made up of milk egg yolks sugar and cream.
This is probably the most common at-home ice cream conundrum. As you might have gathered ice cream contains plenty of ice hence its name but the particles should ideally be imperceptible. Your ice cream has a grainy texture because it melted and refroze. Chef advised me to up the sugar content which I did to a small benefit.
