Turkish Delight Ice Cream, Chookie's Christmas Present to Forum Members.

Kimmyh,  we are also finding it a bit sweet.  Could easily reduce the sugar. 

Cp,  I think that the difference is that the machine will make it more creamy.

Judy,  as you have the same Ice Cream machine as me,  how do you rate this uncooked one as against a cooked custard base?

Sorry Chookie, missed this comment.  I rate it very highly - nice and smooth, no eggs, no cooking, what's there not to like about it 
I don't mind the sweetness of it but if you are going to reduce the sugar content - by how much, 1/2 cup or more?

I want to try this recipe by substituting mashed banana for the Turkish delight and pistachios.  I think it's a great base for all sorts of ideas.

Thanks Judy.  I think I will try it as the base for the Rum and Raisin tomorrow.

I bought some Turkish delight today haven't had a chance to look for the roséwater yet.

CP you must have an icecream machine. Mine is on the floor under the shelves in the pantry. It is heavy to lift out and use but well worth it. I use it a lot more in the summer but still make some icecream in the winter.

I have mine sitting on a metal cupboard in the laundry, a perfect place and height for it - they are heavy little devils.

Judy,  mine is in the laundry also.   Not as heavy as my old one that I gave the kid.

Thx for this chookie

My icecream machine is in shipping storage with the rest of our stuff lol

CP and Frozzie,  i have just been reading about making ice cream in the TMX.  If you put the butterfly in after it is smooth,  beat for 20 seconds on sp 4 ,  it will be smoother.

Chookie, i made some icecream last night, but my icecream maker didnt work very well, and it has frozen a little icy. Could I chop it up, re - whizz it and then freeze it again?

[achookwoman]

I would.

[EmeraldSue]

Thanks - Ill give it a try tomorrow and see how it goes. I still have some of the mixture unfrozen because it wouldnt fit in the icecream maker, so I might add some of that as well to make it easier to blend.

ES,  good idea.

Ok, I know this is a thread about Turkish delight icecream, and I made strawberry icecream, but I've followed advice and re- whipped the frozen, icy icecream from yesterday with the unfrozen leftover custard in thermie, and I now have 2 litres of strawberry( minus one cone for DS) in the freezer. It isn't fully frozen yet, but its much more creamy now. Thanks!
