What is CMC & GMS

AGM (Glycerol monostearate) is a food additive used as a thickener, emulsifier, anti-caking agent and preservative. It is used to stabilize ice cream and is available in specialty food stores or bakeries.

CMC powder widely used in the ice cream industry to make ice cream without stirring or freezing at very low temperatures. It is used as a thickening agent, emulsifier, anti-caking agent, and preservative.

Ingredients

• Full fat milk: Full-fat milk adds a rich, creamy flavor to ice cream. The fat in milk helps make the texture smooth, creamy, and creates a base that is pure indulgence.
• Sugar: Sugar is added for sweetness and also helps keep the ice cream soft and not icy. Without sugar, ice cream will freeze too hard and be icy.
• cmc : Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is a stabilizer that maintains the smoothness of ice cream and prevents the formation of ice crystals. This also helps the mixture thicken without stirring.
• GMS: Glycerol Monostearate (GMS) is also another stabilizer and emulsifier used to give ice cream a smooth, easy-to-scoop texture.
• Milk powder : Powdered milk is added to enhance the milky taste and also improve the texture of the ice cream.
• Cornstarch : Cornstarch is added to slightly thicken the ice cream and also prevent ice crystals from forming.
• Vanilla Extract: Vanilla essence is the main flavor of this recipe. Use a good quality vanilla bean or vanilla essence as it provides the classic flavor, taste and aroma.

Expert Tips

Mix the ingredients first: In a bowl, mix CMC, GMS, cornstarch and powdered milk before adding the liquid. This helps prevent lumps and ensures the base is smooth.

Cook over low heat: Boil the milk slowly while continuing to stir so that it doesn’t burn or stick to the bottom.

Whips during freezing : Blend the semi-frozen mixture once or twice periodically to absorb air and reduce ice crystals. This repeated mixing produces soft and creamy textured ice cream.

Variations: This recipe is so customizable that you can add chopped nuts, brownies, cookies, or chocolate chips to the base after final mixing for added crunch and flavor.

Storage : Store vanilla ice cream in an airtight container to prevent ice crystals from forming. For best results, place a layer of cling wrap on the surface before sealing. This also helps keep the texture smooth and creamy.

Serve : Serve this vanilla ice cream in a bowl or crunchy cone for a classic treat and top with chocolate or caramel sauce for extra indulgence. It also pairs well with other desserts such as pies, brownies, waffles, and cake sandwiches. To add flavor, sprinkle with nuts, sprinkles, chocolate chips, cookie or brownie crumbs.
