ater ices, frappes and sorbets. Ice creams
include Philadelphia cream, American and French creams, parfaits and
mousses. Sherbets contain gelatin or whites of eggs and water-ice
mixture. Water ices are fruit juices sweetened and diluted with
water. Frappes are partially frozen water ices. Sorbet is a mixture of
flavors prepared as for water ices or a frozen punch.
ICE CREAM
Philadelphia ice cream is made from thin sweetened cream. American ice
cream is a mixture of thin cream and a custard well flavored, which
is then frozen. Frequently junket preparations are used in this cream.
French ice cream is a plain, frozen, rich custard. Parfaits are creams
made from a thick syrup, egg yolks and whipped cream, packed in a
mould and frozen.
Mousses are heavy creams flavored and sweetened and then whipped,
packed into a mould and frozen.
It is important to note that the can must not be over two-thirds full.
All creams in the making increase in volume and therefore they must
have sufficient room for churning. See that all parts of the freezer
work freely before starting. If rusty or stiff use a drop or two of
salad oil and then turn until it works freely.
