i like the creamy, though

That's fine. Add some whipping cream or even half and half to the blender.


You could probably even do your shaker thing if you chopped the ice first. Make a slurry of the ice and flavorings, then add the milk/cream mix in the shaker. The ice mix makes it freeze faster is all.

don't you end up with a lot of ice-crystals throughout the end product, though? that's normally why the makers are stirring it as it freezes and home-mades are generally stirred at least once during the freezing process. if you like the ice crystals then it's not gonna be an issue

i've made the sort of blend you suggest before but it didn't get the right texture for me. it was okay, though. if i'm gonna go more icy, i'd rather do a slushie/sorbet affair than ice cream.

I don't know. Maybe. I guess I just never really noticed. If I leave if in the freezer for an hour or so until it thickens, it's fine. If I leave it overnight it freezes solid and I have to let it melt some, then mix again as it goes.

Works for me, but maybe not for others.
