And its fun!<br />What she did was divide the ice cream mixture into heavy duty ziplock bags and tape the tops. Then she put each of those smaller zip lock bags into another larger ziplock bag which she then filled with ice and rock salt. She would tape everything up to make sure it doesn't leak and then she would give it to us grandkids with a towel to shake and roll around for good 30-60 minutes. Then combine (or not) and pop it into the freezer to harden a little. It always worked perfectly and was a lot of fun from what I remember.<br /><br />By the way... This site is amazing.

Every 30-45 minutes, take the bowl out and mix the mixture with an electric mixer (as it freezes, you'll want to mix it until the frozen chunks break up and the mixture is creamy again). It'll take 3-4 hours, but you end up with ice cream that's about the same soft serve consistancy as what you get with the machine. I tried this before I got my ice cream maker and it worked pretty well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29173043.post-11447789228111602992010-02-25T18:38:54.121-08:002010-02-25T18:38:54.121-08:00NikkiQ--Yes, it looks like the Oatly product would...NikkiQ--Yes, it looks like the Oatly product would work.

Your ice cream maker should come with an instruction book that gives you a general idea of how long it takes with your machine.<br /><br />My machine takes about 30 minutes. A few tips:<br /><br />- Make sure the liquid mixture (the stuff you freeze) is chilled first. I suggest at least a couple hours in the fridge, if not longer.<br /><br />- If your ice cream maker is the type where you have a bowl that you stick in the freezer previous to using it, make sure it's good and frozen. <br /><br />- Finally, the texture of the final product will most closely resemble soft-serve ice cream. It won't be hard like a carton of ice cream from the store. It will harden much more when stored in the freezer.The Girl With The Sun In Her Headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14360533264570531791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29173043.post-59081344638878208452009-12-24T21:08:32.499-08:002009-12-24T21:08:32.499-08:00Can anyone tell me approximate how long it takes t...Can anyone tell me approximate how long it takes to harden in the ice cream maker?
