can we make it without egg?
The recipe would need to be changed if not using eggs.
Use the calculator and remove the eggs, add lecithin instead.
Then use the balance tool to recalculate.
It came out very nice a little sweeter then what I would have liked. but texture and color and taste was perfect.
Thank you
The vanilla came out very good. A little maybe too sweet but color texture and freeze was excellent great to be a subscriber. The software allows me to formulate it the way I want it to turn out. Thank You.
Why does the (web) calculator show that this recipe is way off the charts for standard ice cream base? Still seems to work though.
Well, it’s not actually way off. It’s just outside for a few properties.
Then when you make Custard the Stabilizer end Emulsifier bars can be a little off but that is fine.
And remember the charts are not a rule but an indicator, there are many ways to make ice cream.
Some make very high fat ice cream that works well, but does not fit in the Ice Cream Base chart.
I am going to give this one a try. Keep posted.
