Why is my homemade ice cream so airy?
Lactose, like any sugar, lowers the freezing point of ice-cream mixtures. That means more of the mixture stays liquid at freezer temperature and the ice cream will be softer. But beware, if there’s too much of these products, lactose crystals will form and you’ll end up with a sandy-textured ice cream.
