crazysquaw, I don't know that there is a perfect substitution. Depending on the recipe and your likings, I would try asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, or celery. If it was a salad, maybe diced tomatoes. Too bad he is allergic to peppers, they definitely have a taste of their own but some of the other vegetables mentioned also have great taste. Good luck!

General Forum | General Discussion | Stop home made icre from freezing rock solid?

I thought this was an interesting question so I did some research on the topic. This is what I found. 1.Be sure that the ice cream mixture has been cooled and chilled properly as shown above before beginning the freezing process to prevent larger ice crystals from forming. 2.Too much sugar can cause the ice cream to become too hard, but be sure to follow the recipe carefully because too little sugar can cause it to be too soft. 3.The faster it is churned the more air that is whipped into it and the smaller the ice crystals will be, which will help it from freezing as hard. 4.Fat does not freeze so it helps give the ice cream a smoother texture. Try increasing the amount of fat by using cream or half & half instead of just milk. 5.To help prevent the ice cream from freezing too solid, a little alcohol, such as vodka, can be added to the mixture because alcohol does not freeze. This information has been added to the How to Make Homemade Ice Cream article on this site.
