Ice Cream Class

About this course

The class introduces several ice cream methods through technical demonstrations, including churned recipes, no-churn preparations and a homemade custard base. Participants work in teams to make lemon sorbet, custard-base vanilla ice cream and quick vanilla ice cream, which are then churned and frozen. Further demonstrations cover no-churn flavours, adaptations for vanilla ice cream and a selection of toppings. Other recipes, including parfait, granita and honeycomb ice cream, are demonstrated for sampling rather than prepared by participants.
