Ice cream at this time was made using the “ pot freezer” method,which involved placing a bowl of cream in a bucket of ice and salt (note: not mixing the ice and salt with cream as many believe).

Salt: Rock salt, which is also sometimes labeled as "ice cream salt", works best for lowering the temperature of the ice to freeze the ice cream quickly. But coarse kosher salt or even regular table salt will work in a pinch if that's what you have on hand.

When it comes to great ice cream, cold temperatures and speed are your friends: the faster you bring your base from liquid to solid, the creamier it'll be. In a 2-quart unit, a typical batch of ice cream will take between 18 and 25 minutes to churn.

The production of ice cream involves mixing the ingredients together, followed by pasteurisation. It is then hom*ogenised, a process that allows the distribution of fat into as many separate small fat globules as possible. After hom*ogenisation there is a cooling and ageing process.

Vanilla melted the quickest because it had a lower fat content and a higher water content which causes ice cream to melt quicker.

A cold base will help it freeze faster, which will result in a better texture. Chill it in the refrigerator for at least an hour before putting it in the ice cream freezer. You can even refrigerate it overnight. Adding a little alcohol to your ice cream base can help keep the texture softer.

Will ice cream melt in 15 minutes? ›

Ice cream will start to noticeably melt within 15 to 30 minutes at room temperature (about 20–22°C or 68–72°F). However, higher room temperatures or direct sunlight can cause ice cream to melt faster, while lower room temperatures can slow down the melting process.
