As I was growing up, ice cream making became a passion of mine. My dad would always let us use the ice cream machine during the summer – although he would limit how much we could eat. We got to play with his ice cream making recipes, and soon we were some of the best ice cream makers in the neighborhood. All of my friends would come over to have sweet, frozen treats from the ice cream machine. No one was surprised when I grew up and had an ice machine of my own.
Of course, Making small batches with a hand crank ice cream machine, and becoming a professional ice cream manufacturer are two very different things. During my first year or two, I almost went broke about three times. Basically, I could sell enough ice cream to pay the bills, and that was it. My ice cream machine days seemed to be nearing an end before I found a good distributor. Finding someone to market your wares is always the key. No matter what came out of the ice cream machine, whether it was good or bad, no one would get to taste it without someone peddling it at all the local grocery stores.
A lot of people worry about commercial ice cream machine recipes. They are hesitant to even try until they are sure that they can get the perfect ice cream the first time. To me, this ruins the fun. As long as you know a little bit about what you're doing, your ice cream will taste good. Through tinkering, you can make it perfect. The goal is to have fun with ice cream machines!
