What you will find out the minute you begin making homemade ice cream is that it will not have the same consistency and texture as company manufactured ice cream. The primary reason for this is because homemade versions will only utilize fresh ingredients. See, to make the final result thicker, companies will add gums and preservatives into their recipe. So, this is why homemade versions will essentially end up being thick milkshakes. However, not all hope is lost in your endeavor to produce thicker results.
All you need to do is create your treat and then allow it to freeze in a freezer for a couple of hours. Now, do not store it inside the actual bowl itself in your freezer and instead transfer it to another container.
