@LWB what's the advantage of using both whey and caseinate proteins, don't they do same job?

Not sure - I always have both in the pantry and milk has both proteins.  In theory they denature differently and so perform slightly different jobs, but I have not reliably tested this and suspect the differences are subtle.

The differences are significant, but complex. Most of the research on this seems to be behind closed doors at companies like Haagen Dazs. I think that unless you've found some particular insights on how to work with these proteins separately, and have a strategy in mind, you'd make your life much simpler just by using dry milk powder.

So, on a whim I bought a new ice cream machine and I want to make some different flavors.

Yesterday I tried my hand with a recipe for Strawberry Ice Cream from the Cusinart recipe booklet that came with the machine,

Sadly, the strawberries had little flavor.  I'm sure that as the berry season progresses the outcome will be better.

Next I want to try to make an Orange Creamsicle ice cream...I remember how good those creamsicles were when I was a kid.

Any one have a recipe for this that tastes like the real thing?

I'm curious - which model of the Cuusinart did you buy?

I got the Cuisinart ICE-100 so I wouldn't have to pre-freeze each bowl.

I tried it out yesterday for the first time with the strawberry recipe.

It churns for quite a long time....the booklet says approx. 50 minutes.  It's kind of loud, like I think all of the machines are.  I've been checking various sites on the web for different recipes but I'm stuck on wanting to make creamsicle flavor.

Perhaps try this recipe by David Lebovitz: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailyherald.com/amp-article/20180814/entlife/180819677/

 

Edit: they mention they use the same machine as you

Unfortunately, there's a paywall to get to the recipe.

I have the ICE50, the earlier version.  I would like a new one and keep dithering between the ICE 100 and the Breville one.  Did you do any comparison between them?

I read the Amazon reviews which led me to the Cuisinart.  There were actually some who had compared both and preferred the Cuisinart.  I only ever had the small Cusinart ICE-21  about 10 years ago and didn't care for it and gave it away.

[JoNorvelleWalker]

I have and recommend the ICE-100.  My advice is to use only about 800 g of mix per batch and to spin for 15 minutes, 20 minutes

maximum.  I get better results with the ice cream paddle rather than with the gelato paddle.  The gelato paddle is supposed to reduce overrun.  Don't forget to run the machine for about 15 minutes to precool before adding the mix.  See the other ice cream threads -- of which there are about four or five going at the moment.

Thanks for the tip about pre-cooling time, I must have missed that when I didn’t read the instructions 😁

In reference to the strawberries, I find most all the strawberries  in my markets, Florida  or from California are tasteless.  

[JoNorvelleWalker]

I noticed today that my strawberry plants are flowering.

 

[CatIsHungry]

Have you thought about pulverizing some freeze dried strawberries to bump up the flavor? (of course it will affect the color, so blah blah blah etc) 

[lindag]

Actually, yes, I have.  My favorite source for dried fruits and veg. happens to be sold out of strawberries at the moment..

But I will definitely order some when they're back in stock.

I don't know that you're looking for different ice cream recipes, but I thought I'd share this one:

 

Buttered Popcorn Ice Cream

 

My mom introduced me to it and it's a big time favorite of ours.  I've never tried it with the Cracker Jacks.

I have made this recipe too.  It is really good.

[scubadoo97]

With cracker Jacks it would be off the hook delicious 

[Toliver]

Regarding strawberry ice cream, I wouldn't recommend putting in any chunks of strawberry. The chunks turn into veritable ice cubes during the freezing process...not fun to eat!

When we used to make ice cream and use any kind of fruit -- watermelon, peaches, strawberries, cherries, what-have-you -- we'd always puree the fruit first. I am personally a major fan of fresh peach ice cream.

That's my favorite, too! Give me peaches, or nectarines, and the fixings for ice cream and I'm a happy woman.

@lindag  is the recipe you used on page 6 of the manual?  If yes, what was the texture like?

Yes I used that recipe.

The texture was good although it freezes really hard.  I think I read somewhere that if you add alcohol to the recipe it helps keep it from being quite so hard.  I will try that next time.
