Is it ice cream or smoothie? / myLot

I should have cooked a bit longer for the corn flour - the stabilizer - to help harden the ice cream. Impatience is my middle name and that is proved because the ice cream has not hardened. Many add eggs but this recipe suggested corn flour. I know it is my fault. Also I had not adjusted the freezing temperature in the fridge which is supposed to be kept at less than -18C. Some use ice cream machines but since I make it once in a way never felt the need to go for a machine. . Lesson learnt. What stabilizer do you add? ge credit:https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fresh-mango-smoothie_01.jpg

I read through a few tips on he Net and now I know how to set about making a good ice cream without buying a machine and without having to adjust the temperature in the fridge. I must properly cook the corn flour and churn vigorously. I will now drink the smoothie and once it is over will attempt making ice cream again (lol)

I love both. Something creamy and frothy and icy that is. I can make smoothies but not ice cream so I just buy ice cream to the grocery store. I like strawberry flavor and cheese.

I think we use cassava flour or cassava starch to get the texture of ice cream

I dont make these ones. No stabilizers. Unless a banana may be thickening agent.

My DIL doesn't use stabilizers but deep freeze the ice cream and it works. It hardens beautifully.

It has to not only harden but there should be no crystals formed I know what went wrong with my method.

I use no stabilizers, use sugar and dairy cream and the juice, eggs only if I make a vanilla ice cream, never eggs for fruit ice creams. Of course my freezer is set at -20º C, 18 is enough to keep it frozen later.

@allknowing - If the freezer is not cold enough, it does not freeze.
