You can also use 1: 1 mango instead of banana. The result is perfect

Was a little skeptical because I don't like banana ice cream. Left very ripe bananas.
I will definitely do it more often. Super tasty, great recipe.

My first ice cream with me back then Perfecto..and still my absolute favorite! Very, very tasty!

The ice cream itself tastes very good, but it is very hard when it comes out of the freezer, despite the ingredients from Eis-perfecto. So I can not understand why it is written that it is not hard with all the ingredients Eis-perfecto!
I am very disappointed that it is not softer even though I followed the recipe.

Hello Andy, I have made the recipe myself many times. So I know it stays portionable.
Actually there are only 3 reasons why the ice defies Perfecto gets too hard.
1. Your freezer is colder than -18 degrees. That's mostly true!
Please
check how cold it really is. You must not rely on the display in Froster. It is best to measure the ice directly with a stick thermometer, then you can see exactly how cold the freezer is.
2. Your ice cream was taken out of the machine too long (rarely) or too soon.
In both cases, the ice has incorporated too little air, which is called an overrun. Ideally, the ice should be removed at around – 8.5° degrees. You can measure this with a stick thermometer.
3. You put too much or too little ice cream in the machine.
Then, as in point 2, too little air is worked into the ice and the ice still becomes hard.

The recipe tastes really great and is natural. It wasn't hard at all. For me it was a bit crystalline despite the ice cream maker. I think this is due to the structure of bananas. Has anyone had the same experience?
4. April 2024 @ 15: 07
That's unusual. The starch in bananas actually helps to bind water even better and avoid ice crystals. I've made this ice cream many times and it's always very creamy. Which ice cream maker do you have? And how much ice cream mix do you put in it? When do you take the ice cream out of the machine?

Perfect recipe, simply delicious. Easy to make.

Hello, I'm always surprised by the information about the binding agent. I personally use 4g for 1000g of ice cream mixture. When the recipe tells me to use 16g, I get gummy ice cream and the taste is terrible.
Very artificial.

Hello Daniel, you are probably thinking of a binding agent like locust bean gum or something similar. Our Bindemittel-Perfecto is a binding agent mixture where the dosage is just right. For 1000g of ice cream you need 15-20g Bindemittel-Perfecto
9. September 2024 @ 20: 40
Hi Andreas no I used that Bindemittel-Perfecto from you. I'm just suspicious of the information, as I said. It turns into chewing gum and the aftertaste is terrible. If you use 1000-2 g per 4 g, that's enough. That's my experience.
