This name is generally applied to Ice Creams made with pure cream, and without any eggs, although some makers use about five eggs to each gallon of cream, with two pounds of sugar. The cream and sugar is heated near the boiling point, cooled and frozen. The heating of the cream is the best method, for it gives mere body to the cream and makes it smoother. If the sugar is dissolved in the cream without heating, the cream bulks more, but loses the fine texture of the heated creams, 710.— COMMERCIAL ICE CREAMS. Where quantity is more required than quality, root and sago flour, in proportion from three to six ounces to each gallon, is boiled into a smooth batter, with a part of the milk and the sugar; strained, cooled and frozen. Gelatin should be soaked and dissolved in warm milk, but not boiled, as this would cause the milk to curdle. About one and one-half to two ounces of gelatin are used for one gallon of cream and milk. Another thickener for Ice Creams is used cold. The preparation is known to the trade as cream- thick, it is something like a dry milk powder. The thickener is mixed with the sugar to be used, the cold milk or cream added gradually. As soon as the sugar is dissolved, the cream is ready to be frozen. 711.— COMMERCIAL ICE CREAM. NO. i.
