Yoghurt makers for ice cream
Homemade yoghurt is an excellent ice cream base: controlled acidity and protein that gives body.
Frequently asked questions
What is a yoghurt maker doing on an ice cream site?
Homemade yoghurt is a very good ice cream base and lets you control acidity and solids, which is exactly what a shop-bought one will not let you do.
What temperature does it need to hold?
Around 42–44 °C for eight to ten hours. What matters is not the peak, it is that it does not move.
Individual pots or a single jug?
For ice cream, a jug. You are going to blend the yoghurt with the rest of the mix anyway, so the little pots only add washing-up.
Does homemade yoghurt change the formula?
Yes, and for the better: you know its solids and its fat. With a shop-bought one you go by the label, which usually has sugar and thickeners in it.
