Ice Cream

[bob561941]

I have bought an ice cream maker and would appreciate some advice. The first one I made contained icing sugar but my wife said it was too sweet was the icing sugar neccesary to get the consistency ?.

I don't use icing sugar, what was your recipe?

Icing sugar will simply dissolve more quickly than granulated sugar. In the time the ice cream takes to set, granulated sugar will have dissolved anyway. The amount of sugar won't affect the consistency. Try halving the amount, and see how your wife likes it.
