Homemade Ice Cream

[anonymouse]

Hi,

Anybody know where I can buy Homemade Icecream for retail purposes, I've tried asking some of the shops that sell it around town [ eg the restuarant opposite gecko books] but they all understandly seem loath to let me know there suppliers.

failing that, has anybody made ice-cream and how difficult is it?

Do you mean the old fashion ice cream (bo raan) they write it in English as "ancient icecream"? If it is the easiest way would be to buy an icecream in the paper wrapper and then while you eat the ice cream take the address printed on the wrapper to the factory. I think it is made in Lamphun but don't quote me on that.

Making ice cream is fairly easy BUT if you are talking about comercial quantities that is a different prospect and quite a bit harder. I have made my own icecream and kulfi and it is very easy to make. The hardest bit is waiting for it to freeze before eating it. Having a good freezer that will freeze it quickly is the biggest issue and so if you are looking at commercial quantities you will need an industrial freezer to make it and that is different to a commecial freezer to store it. The last issue is cost, making my own icecream with full cream milk, dutch or belgian chocolate, plus the other bits makes the cost higher than pretty much any premium grade icecream of similar style.

The Duke's and Art Cafe both make their own and they are both friends of mine.

Come see me at the Main branch of Gecko Books and I will see what I can do about getting one of them to fill you in on how to go about it.

Dave at the Duke's told Art Cafe and he can be quite generous about such things.

Must be a million recipes on the internet.

My Mum used to make it when we were kids in the Australian bush. All she used was an egg beater to froth it up before putting it into the old kerosene fridge.

Whoops, hang on, my grandfather told me I mean.......

REAL vanilla extract, full cream milk, sugar and SNOW is how we used to do it when I was a lad!

Well, if you have an ice cream maker it IS easy. You just mix up the cream and flavorings etc. and poor it into the contiiner....put the dashers in and the lid on..put the container in the ice cream maker...pack ice and rock salt around the container and inside the ice cream maker...and then crank...and then crank some more until it is done....really quite simple. I saw an ice cream maker in a small hardware store in Chinagrai so I'm reaonably sure they have them in Chiangmai too.

there are so many ice cream maker out there , but the old fashion one .. is the Tub roller ,, with ice added with Salt to make the ice cream .. and it can take some man power to roll or spin it enough to get your ice cream ..

i know wher eyou can get the wooden tub used to make ice cream .. is about 2-4 k if i recall price might change .. but the last time i saw it i think is a reasonable price .

anyway i know one place near the back of CMu selling homemade ice cream .. had not ate it but i heard is very nice

in singapore there is a Turk ice creamer shop which is the best ice crema i had .. second to hazgen daze

I'd VERY much like to know exactly where ("behind the cmu") to buy the "ancient (thai) ice cream" I bought at the airport plaza not too long ago when they had an ice cream "festival" on.

How different - or better, in having less dairy or sugar items - is this thai ice cream vs. conventional ice cream. (It's, by definition, preferred by thais. Or is this a myth?)

If its the one I know its in front of CMU. Carry on past gates (on way to Doi Suthep). Just before zoo its a very small place on the right. I believe it used to be the Thai German dairy project. The actual building selling ice cream (fronts onto road) is small but it looks like its part of a large compound. They also have cheese.

The ice cream boran such as they sell at the walking street is probably a different place.

cmsally, I know this is off thread, but you said the magic word- Cheese

Details, please! Worth a try? Types?

Well I haven't been there for a while (who knows they could have flattened the place and turned into another Wawee cooffee shop!). They had big blocks of probably what you could describe as mild cheddar, not exactly connesseuir but it used to hit the spot.

I was curious & googled.

Thai Ice Cream

This is an ImportFood.com online Thai recipe. Here you can conveniently purchase authentic, quality ingredients imported from Thailand. We hope you enjoy our website and it helps you enjoy cooking Thai food!

Thai ice cream is made from coconut milk, and as such is a totally non-dairy (ie vegetarian) product.

Ingredients

2 cups coconut milk (see also coconut cream as a richer alternative)

1 cup water

4 eggs

1 teaspoon of vanilla or rosewater (optional)

pinch of salt

2 tablespoons of shredded coconut (see below)

sprigs of mint for garnish

Method.

Stir fry the coconut until golden (optionally use a few pieces of fresh corn... Thais often flavor ice cream with things considered unusual to western tastes).

Heat the coconut milk and water over medium heat, stirring continuously for a couple of minutes. Do not allow to boil.

In a bowl beat two eggs, plus two yolks, then add the other ingredients, and whisk gently.

Transfer the mixture to a double boiler over gently boiling water, and slowly blend in the hot coconut milk, stirring until the mixture thickens to form a continuous slightly sticky coat on the back of a spoon lifted from the mixture.

Remove from the heat and allow to cool, then transfer to a metal ice cream tray or similar container and place in the coldest part of the freezer for one hour.

Remove to a food processor and beat slowly until smooth (this incorporates some stir into the mixture and prevents it becoming too hard), then return to the freezer and complete the freezing process.

Huay Kaew Ice Cream (ไอศครีมห้วยแก้ว ) If I remember this right, this ice cream shop belongs to one of the Royal projects. This shop is on Huay Kaew Road, located right across the street from Chiang Mai Zoo. Strawberry, Chocolate and Vanilla are only flavors it offers. Why I like this place? The ice cream is very fresh.

I grew up in Virginia where white snow is relatively common in wintertime.

I spoke merely in jest, I once saw free (wild?) snow while driving through the Snowy Mountains in June with an ex wife and her wretched offspring one long forgotten year.

It was a fine day and it laid in patches where the sun could not reach.

Can't say I'd have made icecream out of it though.

I believe that you use it to make the ice-cream rather than making ice-cream out of it .........

We usually made it in December or January.

Welcome friend, we badly need some one to correct our terminology. You can start on our grammar next , then.... not for the faint hearted, our spelling.

Thanks for that, it's right up the street from where I live- will take a stroll and check it out!

Thank you for that. Will go as soon as I can.

If you've been please tell us 1) if the place is still there, and 2) what the cheese is like - and of course the ice cream.

I'm presently in Europe and won't be back for another month, hence the impatient question.

Same as scoobiedoodah - I grew up in the bush with kero refridgerators but that was a while ago now - since then we have had this amazing invention called electricity. I just plug in the hand held electric mixer and it does it for me. Then when it is aerated and before it starts to melt, put it back into the electric refridgerator and let it freeze again. You only have to let the icecream double in volume about twice unlike your post which is "taking it out again just before it froze to beat again , ad on infinitum ....." Over aerating the icecream turns it into an icy pole not icecream. The beating and freezing cause the milk compounds to seperate.

I stand by my original post - making home made icecream is easy. My mother made it for 40 years until she died, not of ice cream related circumstances. For what it is worth, I made some chocolate, raising and almond icecream on Saturday night at home. Between the double cream, and belgian chocolate it was an absolute delight but only in small amounts. I aerateed it twice only and for less than a minute each time.

It's actually run by The Royal Projects and is opposite Huay Kaew Fitness Park on Huay Kaew rd.

Their ice cream is great as are the smallgoods they sell there, such as pork jerky, all the german type sausages, great streaky bacon, smoked trout and a good range of fresh organic veggies. The missus and i pop in once a week or so for a top up..

Ah, Thanks Austhaied! I mistakenly thought it was a place further up, almost directly across from CM Zoo.

I saw the Royal Project compound; includes supermarket, coffee shop, handicrafts shop. Will go by tomorrow and report on ice cream/cheese availability....
