Homemade Italian Ice | DIY Italian Ice

[@menachemleeder8030]

I find to make less crystallized, let it defrost a little than blend it again and refreeze.

[@Funfoods]

Good tip

[@archetypehailey6395]

extremely late reply, the reason this happens is that when you blend it you break up the large ice crystals into smaller crystals. if you do this repeatedly (~30 minutes between breakings) with a blender or with a fork etc, you can get a smoother texture until you let it go for it's final longer freeze.

[@crispyjuice2110]

@@archetypehailey6395 Good ideas but honestly, that is just too many steps for a halfway decent result. There must be a more effective method

[@dominix_1]

Hope you like it!

[@TheBladesCut]

My favorite store-bought Italian ice is lindy’s, which has a really hard/crystallized texture, so this ought to be perfect

[@nelliel5001]

I also love lindys

[@tyasia1002]

[@debdeb3996]

You added straight sugar instead of sugar dissolved in water. If you add sugar water instead of straight sugar it will be creamy.

[@elgato4619]

Italian ice isn't creamy.....

[@crispyjuice2110]

@@elgato4619 Incorrect. There are many variations on italian ice, some creamier than others. For brands you can buy in a store, compare Luigi's Italian Ice which is creamier, to Lindy's Italian Ice which is icier. This is also true in modern Italy, where its composition can vary depending where you are

[@oksalbright]

I was in hospital and for first few days Italian ice was only thing I could eat and fell in love with it. The strawberry one looks just like the ones I had. I love how quiet your blender is. Do you list your equipment anywhere? 😋🥰

[@fashionfirst_]

Tried it and the strawberry tasted amaing

[@ggukiemonster]

when i was about to blend the strawberries i could not hold myself back and ate a couple

[@javanabarber1840]

This guy is amazing the food he makes look so good

[@alisabaxter8430]

Maybe adding more sugar or adding a liqueur like limoncello would help since it lowers the freezing point. That way it won't solidify as much

[@briandrum1]

I’ve been saving cups of Luigi’s Italian ice to make my own. If I was to follow this recipe up to the freeze for the initial 30 minutes, fluff it with a fork and then scoop the mixture into the cups and freeze those would I get the same results? EVERY recipe I find says to put the mixture back into the freezer for an hour or 2. Thing is, I want single serve cups when it’s fully “cured”

[@mckyla7575]

Make a big batch in a pan then before the last freeze, put them in the cups maybe 🤔 so you don’t have to blend individually

[@DiamondSlimeAsmrQueen]

When I saw this I’m like what I love Italian ice! I clicked right away

[@Funfoods]

Cool!

[@normalnebula6905]

OMG I found a bunch of your videos on Pinterest!! I didn’t know you have a KZbin! I’m so happy lol :00

[@Funfoods]

Thanks for finding me

[@dungnguyetxuanbui0403]

Thank you for showing me how to do this :) I can’t have much sweet and this is the prefect treat 🤗

[@zaharafoxdale290]

maybe put the strawberry and peaches into ice cube trays too freeze. Then put the the frozen ice cubes in a food processor, that might help with the texture to be more fluffy. Also easier to scoop as well,

[@themellymelshow]

“I’m in a hurry I wanna eat this stuff really bad!” 😂😂😂😂

[@josekuttyjohn2068]

[@Juliorios-z2d]

This is all there is to it? How long does it last frozen?

[@davidcook8323]

I had my first Italian ice in my late 50s. I was in Florida in summer and randomly anded up at a Rita's Italian ice. I had a Strawberry and it was love at first taste. I was half way through vacation. I had one every day until I came home to California. There's not many Rita's in Southern CA. 3 total I believe, There's was one 4 miles frome home. I was a regular until I moved. It was 104 degrees today and Rita's is too far. I had to learn how to make my own, I love it so much. I'm not even Italian! I hope I live to 116 yrs old. I missed out on the first 58 yrs thinking Slurpies were good. How wrong I was. I see Italian Ice as gourmet ice.

[@madelinecreates8825]

What if I used microwaved frozen strawberries bc I don’t have fresh ones but I will microwave it to be softer
