Benjamin M. Weilert describes homemade ice cream making in four chapters in his book, Stop Screaming! From equipment to bases and mix-ins to combinations, Weilert reveals his experience from eight years of home-based tests and his "Jul-Ice" Cream tradition. The author details the equipment you need to make ice cream and the benefits of certain kitchen tools for the recipes. He discusses the successes and failures he has experienced and provides readers with bases for ice cream, sherbet, and sorbet. He includes a section about mix-ins, covering the temperature needed for certain ingredients for a more desirable consistency, and finishes the book with the combinations that have worked best for his wife and him.
After making and sampling over seventy different recipes, Benjamin M. Weilert understands flavor and consistency! With a dose of nostalgia, the author reawakens childhood memories of ice cream as he guides readers conversationally through the experiences he and his wife have shared during the time they have tested their skills at making the homemade sweet treat. If you're ready to flip straight to the delicious recipes and start creating the mouth-watering dessert, the author has made it easy for you; however, if you wish to understand some of the possible pitfalls in the process, Weilert has included information that may help you in your quest for the creamiest result in the "Here's the Scoop" section. Readers who are ready to learn the process of making more palate-pleasing ice cream, sherbet, and sorbet will enjoy Stop Screaming!
