About This Book

A laboratory manual guides students through the scientific manufacture of frozen desserts, combining equipment descriptions, sanitation practices, and stepwise laboratory exercises. It explains methods for standardizing mixes and testing fat and solids, the use of stabilizers, and principles of freezing, hardening, and measuring swell (overrun). Practical recipes and procedures cover plain, fruit, nut, custard, parfait, and molded products, ices and sherbets, and related preparations; supplemental exercises address microbial counts, gelatin testing, varying ingredients and processing treatments, judging criteria, and visits to commercial plants for applied observation.

EXERCISE NUMBER VIII
NUT ICE CREAM

Freeze nut ice creams as assigned, using the formula given below. Fill out the record blank on opposite page.

Flavors: Walnut, filbert, almond and pistachio.

It is better if all of these, except the walnuts, are blanched before using by scalding with boiling water and removing the skins.

Prepare the nuts by running them through a meat chopper and add to the ice cream after it freezes enough to begin to thicken.

  • Receipt:
  • 40 pounds of 20% cream
  •  8 pounds of sugar
  •  2 ounces of vanilla extract
  •  4 ounces of gelatin in 4 pounds water
  •  3 pounds of nut meats

If pistachio nuts are used, color the ice cream a pale green.
