I make ice cream at home. I decided to try adding common ice cream stabilizers: cellulose, guar gum and lambda carrageenan. I accidentally put the frozen ice cream in the refrigerator overnight, and it did not melt at all. I am holding it upside down. It is so soft and very easily scoopable.

Foul looking concoction. How did it taste?
I remember seeing the [videos of Walmart ice cream sandwiches that don’t melt](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbqzhTg5ivw) years ago, but I never though I’d be able to make freakishly stable ice cream like that at home. All it took was 2 grams of carboxyl methyl cellulose, 1 gram of guar gum and 1 gram of lambda carrageenan per liter of ice cream, all of which are easily available cooking ingredients online.
Here, I thought some food scientists had come up with some incredibly tricky formula, but it’s really achievable at home.
Why in gods name would you add those weird things to your ice cream?
what flavour is it though
Ice cream is shitty now?
Okay Willy Wonka
Too much guar gum makes me gassy. With regular or small amounts I’m tooting and pooting just perfectly.

Edit: OP made a type of Turkish ice cream. Instead of Glucomannan from the konjac plant, OP added different polysaccharides
Looks like some people here disagree, but this should be on r/FoodPorn not here.
That’s not ice cream anymore. It’s soft serve.
Gross
I’d rather see it scooped, should’ve added that as a pic too.
Recipe please!!!
Thought this was a pic of bone marrow at first
You’re so soft and easily squeezable
That’s ~~chocolate~~ fruit mousse.

That’s Guar gum for you, lol. And if you eat it, you’ll be full(bloated) for like 15 hours
What da hail… I’m fascinated that you happened upon this experience
You made cool whip?
