2007.15.09 | 15 septembre 2007Ice-cream machine & mango sorbet (1) The Wall Street Journal had a great review (no links) in an article on Aug 10, 2007 on ice cream machines, the 2-quart Cuisinart Pure Indulgence Frozen Yogurt-Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker came out as best overall and best value. For this type of machine, available for around $80 in the U.S. you have a bowl that you freeze for up to 22 hours, the best is to keep it frozen for ready use. You install it in a machine that turns the bowl over fixed mixer blades that churns the ice-cream/sorbet. You add your base after having started the machine. The base must be refrigerated for several hours and the bowl not be taken out of the freezer too soon. (2) Chocolate& Zucchini had a great article on ice-cream machines and a recipe for Mango Sorbet. I used a similar recipe from David Lebovitz's excellent book "The Perfect Scoop": - 2 very ripe mangoes (easy to find in Hawai'i) - 2/3 cup sugar, preferably organic - 2/3 cup water - Juice of one lime - 1 tablespoon rum, 2 tablespoons Grand-Marnier - Dash of salt Puree mango, lime and rum base in blender. Dissolve sugar in water over low heat. Add to base and let stand in refrigerator for 4 hours, until at 45°F. When ready to make sorbet, turn on machine after having installed frozen bowl according to manufacturer's instructions, add base and churn for around 25 minutes, add Grand-Marnier about 2 minutes beforehand. Store sorbet in square plastic container in freezer, it will not get too hard to scoop thanks to alcohol content!
Sorbetière et sorbet à la mangue 1. La sorbetière est un appareil ménager de conception très simple : un moteur fait tourner un cylindre sur lequel est posé un bol (celui-ci est à doubles parois contenant de la glace artificielle liquide, on le met au congélateur une douzaine d'heures), sur lequel est articulé un bras mixeur. Le nettoyage est très simple. |
