PROCESS OF ICE-CREAM

In the UAE the weather is hot in the summer and kind of windy and cool in the winter. So to cool us down in the winter we prefer ice-creams and cold staff. Here are the steps of how the ice-cream is made.

First the weigh out the ingredient and mix them together. Then pasteurize the mix. This means to heat it to a high temperature to kill off any harmful bacteria. Homogenize the mix is also. This means to break down the fat globules in the milk or cream to make them smaller. Now the ice-cream will be smoother, will whip better and won't melt as easily. Then left the mix for at least four hours, usually overnight, to let the fat cool and form into crystals. Add any flavors, fruit purees, or colors at this point. Then pump the mix through a special barrel freezer which freezes some of the water in the ice-cream and whips air into it at the same time. Then pump up the mix to half the volume of ice-cream is air. Without it, the ice-cream would be like a frozen ice cube. After that add any fruits, nuts, sweets or biscuit bits to the semi-frozen mixture at this point. Finally package the ice cream and put into a blast freezer at -30° to -40°C where more of the water in the ice-cream is frozen to make it harder.

In my opinion, fresh fruits which is used to the ice-cream gives it delicious taste and cooling down in the summer and day time specially everywhere.
