What can’t you do with a Durbl bag? You can make microwave popcorn, sous vide just about anything… and even make homemade ice cream! Homemade ice cream isn't just a delightful culinary project; it's a journey into creative freedom and sustainability. Imagine whipping up your favorite flavors right in the comfort of your kitchen, bypassing preservatives and embracing fresh, wholesome ingredients. The process is surprisingly simple and immensely satisfying, making it a perfect activity for family bonding or a personal treat.

How to Make Ice Cream in a Durbl Bag

  1. Mix Your Ingredients: Start with a simple base – half-and-half and sugar are your foundational ingredients. For a single serving, mix ½ cup of half-and-half with 1 tablespoon of sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
  2. Flavor It Up: Get creative! Add vanilla extract for a classic taste, or experiment with cocoa powder, fruit purees, or even small chocolate chips. Remember, this is your canvas.
  3. Bag It: Pour your mixture into a quart-sized reusable silicone bag. Seal it tightly, ensuring to press out as much air as possible – air is the enemy of smooth ice cream.
  4. The Ice-Salt Combo: Place your quart bag into a larger, gallon silicone bag. Fill this gallon bag with crushed ice, then sprinkle ⅓ cup of rock salt over the ice. The salt lowers the freezing point of the ice, which will help your mixture turn into ice cream.
  5. Shake It: Seal the gallon bag and start shaking. This part is both a workout and a party trick! Shake, squish, and massage the bag for about 10 minutes. For a softer texture, shake it less; for a firmer ice cream, a bit more.

Ah, the sweet victory of churning your own ice cream! But wait, there's more – let's talk storing this frozen treasure in reusable silicone bags. It's easy, eco-friendly, and ensures your creamy concoction stays just the way you like it.

Store Tips with your Durbl bags

  • Air is Not Your Friend: After your ice cream-making triumph, transfer the leftovers (if there are any!) into a reusable silicone bag. Squeeze out the air – think of it as giving your ice cream a gentle hug goodbye before its freezer vacation.
  • Date Me: Label your bag with the date. You’ll thank yourself later when you rediscover this frozen gem on a lonely Tuesday night.

So there you have it. Storing and enjoying homemade ice cream in airtight silicone bags is not just about being eco-smart; it's about making your ice cream experience a whole lot cooler. Scoop on!
