Tasty science: instant ice cream

The secret ingredient in this recipe is speed //

Ice cream is a colloidal emulsion. It contains milk fat mixed with water (frozen water, that is), protein, sugar, and air. We are not going to use ice or put the mixture in the freezer because our goal is to use a minimum amount of water, whilst keeping the air bubbles inside the mixture.

Therefore, it’s very important to use a food processor or blender.
