Pastry 11B (CSCA)
Ice cream and Sorbet
Term | Definition |
---|---|
CHURN-FROZEN | Desserts that are constantly stirred as they freeze, being churned or rotated. Churn-frozen desserts are processed or frozen in an ice cream machine and include ice creams, frozen yogurt, gelato, sorbet and sherbet |
STILL-FROZEN | Desserts that lay still as they freeze w/no agitation or churning. Mousses, semi-freddos, bombes, parfaits. Still frozen desserts are not churned/stirred while freezing, ingredients such as beaten egg white/whipped cream are folded in to lighten the base. |
GRANITA (GRANITÉ) | Dessert somewhere between churned and still-frozen. Tend to be less sweet (12°Baume), freeze to a coarse, icy consistency.Stirred only a few times before being allowed to harden. To serve, scraped with a fork, slushy shards are placed in glasses and serve |
MATURING/AGING | Placing the base into a fridg to chill for several hours/overnight before freezing. Allows flavors to mingle, fat to become more solid, and proteins in milk/cream to swell/blend with the water, gives the mixture more body. Bases should be aged 12-24 hours |
OVER-RUN | The increase in volume due to incorporation of air when freezing ice cream. Expressed as a percentage of the original volume of the mix. For example, if it doubles in volume, then the amount of increase to the original volume and the overrun is 100% |
ICE CREAM | Churn-frozen desserts that usually start with a base, most with a custard base, either cooked or uncooked, using heavy cream and whole milk, eggs or egg yolks, sugar and flavoring |
GELATO | A rich Italian ice cream that is denser than its American counterpart |
FROZEN YOGURT | Sweetened yogurt that has been churn-frozen. Because frozen yogurt tends to be made with low fat milk, it contains a lower percentage of milk fat than ice creams, making it relatively low in calories and cholesterol |
SORBET | A churn-frozen dessert usually made from a base of fruit or fruit puree sweetened with a sugar syrup made from granulated sugar and water. Sorbets contain no milk or milk product |
SHERBERT | A churn-frozen dessert similar to sorbet but slightly richer because it contains a small amount of milk |
