  1. are emulsifiers like egg yolks encouraged because I often look at the ingredient labels of popular ice cream brands like Jenis and there does not seem to be any emulsifiers. Usually just a guar gum + carageenan combo. Thanks.

    1. I would say that most commercial brands of ice cream use emulsifiers for sure.
      Jenis does not. She instead relies on the process of milk protein denaturation to get the texture of her ice cream.
      For home recipes I strongly suggest using some kind of emulsifier.
