Junket Ice Cream Mix Bundle - 2 Vanilla, 2 Chocolate, 2 Strawberry (6 Total)

Great flavor for an at home ice cream machine! Kind of expensive, but we bought for a gift. Makes a good flavor ice cream!

I have been using Junket to make homemade ice cream for years. It makes better, creamier ice cream than you can find in any ice cream parlor you can find. Just put the mix, cream and milk is a blender, mix till smooth, dump it into an ice cream maker (manual or electric. In 20-30 minute) and there you have it. My two favorite hits with the family is Chocolate Junket with chopped Andes Mint chunks and the other is Vanilla with Black Cherries (cut in half) and some of the syrup mixed in after the Ice Cream is made. I use the Black Cherries like you would use in an "Old Fashioned).

Very good quality, tasted great, however I felt it was a little too expensive.

Easy to make

Good taste, brings back memories

I've been playing around with ice cream mixes to see how I can make ice cream using just a blender without the need to cook the base. I did some research and found a number of mixes you can buy with Junket being the one people remember as kids since the company's been around since 1874. I bought a pack of Very Vanilla, Simply Strawberry, and Dutch Chocolate to see the quality of ice cream these mixes make. First, if you want to make ice cream in a blink of an eye Junket will work for you! Place the mix and1 1/4 cups milk and 3/4 cup cream into a blender, blend for a minute or two, and you're done. Junket says you can now churn the ice cream. However, looking at the ingredients Junket uses Guar Gum and locust bean gum which I find odd. Locust Bean Gum needs heat to hydrate and this is a no-cook mix/base. Why not just use Guar Gum or a mixture of CMC and Guar? And Gura Gum takes 5 to 10 minutes to hydrate so you should wait a bit before churning. I mix up a batch of Very Vanilla and then placed it in my frig overnight. The next morning I reblended the mixture and then churned. Since this mixture has no emulsifiers it's best eaten as a soft serve. As such it is extremely sweet. It reminds me of the ice cream we'd get at Dairy Queen as kids. But overall all not bad. Note I only wanted to buy a package of each but buying a set of 6 was cheaper. One thing to note is the package says it makes a quart of ice cream. It does NOT! It makes a little under 3/4 of a quart, at least when using a home ice cream machine with an overrun of 25%. To get 1 quart you would need an overrun of 75% and that ain't gonna happen with home ice cream machines.

This is the old fashion way of making ice cream. You can’t find it anywhere else. Do I order all mine. I love it.

Good stuff
