"All good things and wonderful things happen between June and August."
The ice cream market in 2022 has hidden "murderous" opportunities. Countless consumers are stung by the price of ice cream. Picking up an inconspicuous ice cream at a convenience store costs more than ten yuan. Because of their reputation, many consumers had no choice but to pay at the checkout counter.
"Beware of ice cream assassins, don't take ice cream that you don't know easily, you will become unlucky!" This is the "warning" issued by netizens under the Weibo topic titled "How outrageous the price of contemporary ice cream is."
Even because of this, the term "ice cream assassin " became widely known. 's so-called "ice cream assassins" refer to those mysterious ice creams that are expensive, sky-high, and raise the market price. They lurk in the freezer, unremarkable, but deliver the coup de grace when you want to check out.
Speaking of expensive ice cream, I can't help but think of my childhood. My childhood memories all have a grocery store. It is a department store in the eyes of children. Although there are no high-end jewelry or international boutiques on the first floor, the joy of shopping is enough to last an entire afternoon.
You hold the few copper plates in your hand, stand in front of the dazzling array of refrigerators, and select carefully. At that time, I had not yet learned to be content. I only knew that every one of them looked delicious and I wanted to have them all. But today, I could only choose one to take home.
In childhood, buying a popsicle would make you happy for a long time. Now, that beauty has become a great happiness.
In order to combat the high prices of ice cream, the State Administration for Market Regulation officially implemented the 27 "Regulations on Clearly Marked Prices and Prohibition of Price Fraud" from July 1. , among them, requires operators to clearly mark prices in a conspicuous manner, clearly indicate the goods or services corresponding to the prices, and shall not deceive consumers or other operators into conducting transactions with them. The Ice Cream Assassin will have nowhere to hide.
In fact, we don’t have to buy ice cream at a convenience store, we can also make it ourselves.
first introduces the most basic ice cream recipe of . Once you learn this, you can easily master other flavors of ice cream.
It only requires 4 ingredients and can be easily made at home. Be sure to try it.
Ingredients:
Milk 300ml
Light cream 100ml
3 egg yolks (because this recipe does not heat the egg yolks directly, so please use eggs that can be eaten raw)
About 75g of granulated sugar
Method:
Pour the egg yolks and sugar into a large bowl , use bubbler to stir evenly.
Pour milk and light cream into the pot and turn on medium-low heat until bubbles start to bubble around the pot.
Slowly pour the boiled milk and light cream into the stirred egg yolks and sugar. (Stir with a frother while pouring)
Then put it in the refrigerator to freeze. (You can filter the liquid before freezing, but I don't particularly care, so I just put it in the refrigerator.)
It is recommended to lower the temperature of the liquid to below human body temperature before putting it in the refrigerator. (Put the bowl directly into cold water, or pour it into a container and put it in ice water. Metal containers cool down faster.)
After the temperature drops, cover it with a lid or seal it with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator to freeze.
It started to solidify in about three hours. Take out and stir with a spoon or small frother.
After that, stir every 30 to 45 minutes until it is completely solidified. (Although it cannot reach the smoothness of ice cream on the market, the ice cream will become smoother after repeated stirring 3 to 4 times.)
On the basis of this recipe, we can have a lot of room to play. If you want a fruity flavor, you can cut some diced fruit into it, or add jam. Chocolate, coffee, matcha, nuts, Oreos... these are all good choices.
