You can also be putting your health at risk if you refreeze melted ice cream. It is only safe to refreeze ice cream if it is slightly melted and has been kept cold. If it melted outside the freezer, refreezing it and eating it could be unsafe. When ice cream melts, bacteria such as Listeria can grow.

How quickly the ice cream melts is directly related to its overrun. Overrun is the percentage of volume increase of ice cream greater than the volume of mix used. For example, if 1 liter of mix becomes 2 liters of ice cream, the product has an overrun of 100%. Most low quality brands have overruns of 100% to 120%.

If its freezer is not cold enough for ice cream, that can be a sign that your fridge isn’t operating properly. Ice cream is not as dense as other frozen foods, so it thaws readily and acts as an early-warning system before your other foods have a chance to spoil.

Ice cream can easily be negatively impacted by temperature change, so it’s important to handle it carefully. Microwaving ice cream will make it easy to scoop, but it will permanently damage the texture of the dessert.

You can have your ice cream and eat it, too, with this simple trick: Place your ice cream container in a plastic bag before putting it in the freezer. The bag also keeps your ice cream from absorbing that freezer smell.

Most premium ice creams use 14 percent milk fat. The higher the fat content the richer the taste and creamier the texture. Egg yolks is another ingredient that adds fat. In addition egg yolks contain lecithin’s (emulsifiers), which bind fat and water together in a creamy emulsion.

A variety of milk products can be used: cream, whole milk, condensed milk and instant skim-milk powder. The recipes stated below proved satisfactory using whipping cream (32-35% fat), table cream (18% fat) and whole milk. The fat gives the product richness, smoothness and flavour.

Here’s why: After water, egg yolks are mostly fat and protein. Fat, which freezes differently and less hard than water, makes ice cream soft and creamy. Eggs leverage the fat already present in the ice cream base (the butterfat in cream and milk) and make it work even further for a creamier texture.

Dairy products: Dairy products like milk, paneer, cheese, yoghurt, butter, malai, cream can be consumed. Try and keep the quantity of cream and butter less in your food if you are trying to lose weight. You can try variations of kadhi with milk or yoghurt with fruits to bring variety to your nine-day diet.
