   Hi Annalise,

   I have been experimenting making ice cream by hand for the first time in my life, trying to emulate my mother’s ice cream without her recipe. My mother was a great cook who could cook and bake anything and made beautiful ice cream when I was growing up.

   The first one I made was fantastic it looked great nice texture able to scoop tasted great. I do remember bringing the milk and cream to simmer on the stove and adding corn flour to thicken, but that’s about it.

   As I have made a few more since then, to get it right, without success I should have written it down, they have turned out terrible, way too icy heavy and frozen like a block of ice perhaps I mixed to heavily.

   Their are so many different ice cream recipes on the internet that I have looked at using different techniques but still looking for a great one.

   Perhaps you have some ice cream recipes that I can try using eggs or no eggs using Xantham Gum ( eggs substitute ) or corn flour or perhaps none of theses.

   What I wanted to ask you when making ice cream with sugar ( I used caster sugar ) should i use light brown sugar or dark brown sugar to give it a better texture and flavour. And lastly my ingredients were whole milk thick cream, caster sugar, eggs and vanilla essence as i was making vanilla ice cream.

   I would like your thoughts as you are the first person that I have asked for some help regarding ice cream on the internet.

   I am an Aussie I live in Brisbane Australia just thought you may like to know where this message is coming from.
