One of my favorite things about summer is cooling off with ice cream. I have an ice cream maker attachment for my stand mixer but have only made homemade ice cream twice, it still takes a lot of work to make the mix. Imagine my happiness with finding The Curious Creamery. Their ice cream mixes make it a breeze to have premium ice cream made fresh at home.
The Curious Creamery Ice Cream Mix requires no ice cream machine. That's right. It can be made with a hand mixer, then popped in the freezer. The mix sample I received for this review is the Unflavored Original Ice Cream Mix. It is a packet that is added to 1/2 cup of milk or other liquid. It takes a high speed hand mixer with a whisk attachment to get the proper consistency. Per the package I began whisking at high speed for up to 7 minutes. The instructions state the volume of the mix should double in size. I did not see that effect happening but I did notice a much creamier texture appearing. Since this was unflavored, I added my own flavor combination after the whisking process was complete. I chose coconut flavoring with diced mango for a tropical treat.
Now that I had it all mixed, the bowl goes in the freezer for 2 to 6 hours. I had a shallow bowl so mine was ready in about 3 hours.
The taste - super creamy! Wow is this ever smooth! It has a velvety texture with a delicious sweetness. The coconut mango combination worked perfectly together. A single packet makes about 1 pint of ice cream. No picture of the finished product, it was devoured too fast before I could snap the photo. It came out looking creamy, smooth white with little orange mango chunks. It could have come from a gourmet ice cream shop!
The Curious Creamery product line includes the Ice Cream mix as well as an Ice Cream Cake mix and for adults only, an Alcoholic Ice Cream mix. Look for these mixes at select markets and available online. Buy a few packets, once you make one and see how easy it is, you will want to make more.
I plan on purchasing more packets. It is the easiest way to make ice cream ever! The taste does not disappoint. I can't wait to try the other pre made flavors of chocolate and strawberry. I do like the unflavored for making creative ice cream flavors. I am already planning my next Curious Creamery Ice Cream treat!
