I thought this was going to be a post about winter in the desert, not desserts. 😉 Are there any big grocery stores which may have an organic dairy section? I know in Texas a lot of the stores like Kroger have an area with lots of different dairy and non-dairy options. Good luck! Is it time consuming to make the ice cream? We haven’t been impressed with the lactose free options in the store, Carrie doesn’t like the after-taste, so maybe making our own is worthwhile in the future. Maybe. Reply
Heh! Post title corrected. We’ve got a whole foods I was going to check out for their alternative cream offerings.. but beyond that I’m not sure. The stuff I made last night was pretty quick. The longest part was waiting the 24 hours for the machine’s bucket to freeze sufficiently (it basically eliminates the need for ice and rock salt). I guess it depends on the mixture and the hardware. I premade my mix while I waited for the bucket to get chilled and so had the mixture all pre-chilled in the refrigerator as well. It was supposed to churn for 20-40 minutes and was soft-serve ready at about 15 minutes or so, so not too bad timewise, once everything was actually going. My rule of thumb will just be to store the bucket in the freezer when not in use so its always ready to go. Reply
