TipsFor recipes which require use of an ice-cream churner, either a hand or an electric churner can be used. The churning incorporates air and gives a light texture. Churned ice-creams can be prepared ahead and stored in the refrigerator in a plastic box or in a vessel covered on top with polyethylene. In this way, the formation of ice crystals is avoided.
