Guest guest Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 My husband had some Polish Water Ice at the beach the other day and said that if I could make something like it at home, he would give up dairy ice cream. Polish Water Ice is similar to Italian Ice except it has a smoother texture, something like custard. Does anyone know of any machine that I can buy to make this dish or something close to it? Also, I would need recipes with " unrefined " ingredients to make the dish. My husband has had smoothies but he said that smoothies are no match for the Water Ice.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 http://www.polishwaterice.com/faq/ How to make it looks like it's a proprietary secret. " Why is your product so smooth? This is a combination of our family recipe and machinery. I wish we could tell you more!! " You may be able to invent something similar in a blender or ice cream maker, maybe deviating from a sherbet recipe. It's possible the creaminess comes from microcrystalline cellulose, the creamy part of a Wendy's Frostie or some other vegetable gum or gel; it could be gelatin. There may not be a way to make it 'unrefined'. -- Be kind. Be of good cheer. Dick Ford www.dick-ford.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 I don't know exactly what that is, but, it could probably be made with an ice cream maker. My mom bought us one for Christmas and we use it all of the time. It makes soft serve type ice cream, we just substitute soy milk for the cow's milk.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Try using frozen banana slices to make it creamy. I slice up the banana and freeze it in a ziplock bag in a flat layer so that it is easy to blend up.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Hello, I have never heard of Polish Water Ice ,but, I wanted to add my 2 cents. (-: I am lactose-intolerant and so I had to find a substitution for dairy ice cream...I looked everywhere and then found Sorbet. It is so good and it taste alot like the real thing! It's very creamy and smooth. No ice pieces or icey taste. Sorbet comes in a ton of different flavors....My fave is the strawberry. Although it is quite expensive...you can find it at walmart for $2.99 a pint or foodlion/other grocerie stores for $3.99 a pint...it is well worth it. Only a few icecream companies make it though. I really like Edy's. Well, I hope this has helped some of you'all looking for icecream substitions....(-: Have a good day, Michelle , " admartin " <admartin@e...> wrote: > My husband had some Polish Water Ice at the beach the other day and said > that if I could make something like it at home, he would give up dairy ice > cream.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 The sorbets are good but be careful with them if you are vegan. Many contain dairy products in them. I have a plain old ice cream maker that came with my Oster Kitchen Center that I bought about 20 years ago. It works really well to make ice soy. I use regular ice cream recipes (there are tons online - do a search for ice cream recipes) and substitute soy milk for the cow's milk. I also use Florida Crystals in place of the white sugar. I also have an Ultrex double ice cream maker that works just as well as the Oster one. I'm thinking that any ice cream maker might work to make ice soy, but not having tried all of the ones out there, I cannot definitively say this.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Michelle, I make sorbet in my food processor (blender works, too) and it's great! My son is allergic to sugar and artificial sweeteners -- so I just mix up some fresh or frozen fruit with a little juice and then freeze. yum! blueberry is everyone's favorite here.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 I know that sherbert has dairy in it. But, I check all the labels of sorbet (atleast the ones I bought so far) for dairy products. As far as I know the sorbet from Edy's and Haagen Deinz (sp?) contain no dairy.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 I do this for my smoothies. Does it freeze up well? Is it scoopable? Hmmmm. I'll have to try it! Sometimes I save the pint cartons from my sorbet...I can just pour the mixture into them and freeze!

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Some of the Ben and Jerry's brands do contain dairy. There are other off brands that also contain dairy.
