hi aunty, i have a little problem with making ice-cream, hope you can help me. i made a batch of basic vanilla ice-cream yesterday using half dairy whipping and half non-dairy whipping cream but after churning it using my simple ice-cream maker, i noticed there were solidified fat bits in there, very gross! the solidified fats is something like when you leave a bowl of soup or stew in room temperature, and the fat droplets start to form at the surface. do you have any idea why that happens? is it due to the cream, or is it the ice cream maker or ingredients?

hope you can enlighten me aunty! thanks.

Hi Irene,

You are using 100% whip cream whether it's dairy or non-dairy. I suggest you use 50% whip cream and the other 50% fresh milk. I have made ice-cream using coffee mate with fresh milk too but recently I go for creamy ice-cream which uses egg yolks cooked with milk and cream.

Hi,

there's Cadbury chocolate powder or hershey powder. I ran out of them and i myself replace it with cocoa powder. If you use cocoa powder, you can cut down slightly if you don't like the bitter taste.

Hi Aunty Lucy,

Is the jam normal jam or the bakeable type? I haven't had much luck with jam bakes cos they tend to boil when placed in the oven. Did you use normal jam for this bake? Please advise. My daughter looked at the pic, went " wild" with ooohs and waahs and and has asked me to bake for her. Thks for the recipe posting. Warmest regards, Chris

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi chris,

I used the raspberry jam which I bought from Sun Lik. You can also use the normal bottle type from the supermarket.

By the way, do you have the passion fruit chiffon cake recipe?

thank you

Dear aunty Yochana,

I heard from a friend that it is very important on the way we do the mixing to make a nice cake. So I am always confused with "Beat", "Mix", Whisk", "Fold".... May I know what the differences are? When should we use a electric mixer and when should we use a whisk?

Thanks a million! =)

Warmest Regards,
Mei

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi Mei,

For chiffon cake, the egg yolk mixture need not use any whisk. Even a spoon can do the job. For egg white beating with sugar, you need to use a whisk and that is called "whisk".

Mix...depends on what you are mixing. You can just use a wooden spoon to mix if you are making muffins.

Fold means you use a spatula to fold in the flour and you have to avoid deflating the eggs.

Hi Low,

You can buy raspberry Jam from sun lik.

Passion fruit chiffon....I need to create one. But I'm sure using passionfruit will create bigger holes because passionfruit has a high content of acid.

Dear aunty Yochana,

Thanks for your kind advice and teaching. Really appreciate it! =)

Eeee...... One more question, may I know when do we need to use the electric mixer? I am kind of confused... when do we need to mix it very well until it becomes foamy, and when not to overmix it...

Thanks again!

Warmest Regards,
Mei

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi Mei,

It depends on what you are making. Consult me first before you embark on your mission.
