All love the sweet treats of ice creams. The summer season becomes more pleasurable with the cool dessert in the form of ice cream. The home made ice cream pleasures are loved by one and all. The home made ice creams are so delicious and yummy, that once you taste these savory treats, you would never feel like eating the commercial ice cream ever. Ice creams can be made easily at home. The home made ice cream process is very simple, quick and easy. Earlier, the home made ice cream used to be prepared in wooden pails with centrally attached manual churners. The ice cream mixture becomes creamy and smooth with continuous churning. This process involves many hours of hard work with the handle moving done by hands. The hard work was well paid off in the form of delicious, lip smacking and fine home made ice cream.

The process of home made ice cream would start with collecting ice and preparing the freezing mixture with ice pieces and salt. The ice cream mixture is prepared by boiling milk with sugar and thickening it with custard powder or corn starch. Flavor the ice cream with the essence of your choice and allow the mixture to cool. Pour this mixture in the ice cream tin, adjust the central churning shaft with the lid and start churning. It is a slightly strenuous process, but well worth the effort. Your home made ice cream will be ready within an hour or two. The whole family can get involved in this enjoyable process.

Another way to make ice cream is to keep the ice cream mixture in covered aluminum tray in the freezer section of the refrigerator. Remove the mixture after five to six hours to churn it in a blender to prevent crystal formation. You can flavor the home made ice creams with favorite fruit pulps of your children. Nowadays, electric ice cream machines are available and you can prepare smooth home made ice cream as fine as the one in the market.
