Milk Street Digital Class: Ice Cream and Sorbet with Fany

About this Pre-Recorded Class:

On a brilliant summer day, there is nothing better than a scoop of homemade ice cream—except maybe a generous amount of creamy, refreshing sorbet. No matter which frozen confection you prefer, guest chef Fany Gerson is here to teach you how to make it at home. Join Fany, the founder of the acclaimed La Newyorkina, an artisanal Mexican sweets business, for a pre-recorded Zoom workshop where you’ll learn both foundational information and inspired flavor combinations. Westart with the basics of ice cream and sorbet bases, discussing how they differ and how variables like water to fat ratios and freezing temperatures affect crystal size and scoop-ability. Then, we make some batches of frozen treats that you can’t find at any old ice cream parlor. You’ll learn Fancy's Famous white corn ice cream, which is like summer distilled into a bite. You’ll make a sorbet that is perfectly tart, sweet and herbal all at the same time. And to turn it into a full-on party, you’ll make a batch of indulgent Mexican spiced hot fudge and a jar of cherry-hibiscus compote, both of which are ready to mix and match with your ice cream and sorbet for combinations you’ll never tire of. Join us for a workshop that will prove how easy,fun and delicious it is to make ice cream and sorbet at home.
