sweet desert too much even if you try to eat it you will leave in

together and then add this mixture to your dessert recipe and

What do I do if my homemade ice cream is too
sweet?
Well ice cream have very good amount of sugar and it does
not exceed the level which is unbearable but still if you have
made your own ice cream at home than these kinds of things
can happen. So if you have made your ice cream too sweet
than I would not recommend you to use salt, lemon juice or
even cream or vinegar to lessen the sweet taste. Instead use
a little amount of pure chocolate which is commonly called the
dark chocolate which has a bitter taste rather than sweet. So
by adding dark chocolate in your ice cream will reduce the
sweeter flavor in your ice cream and it will not destroy the
flavor of your ice cream like the cream or vinegar or lemon
juice usually dose. So in this way you can reduce the
sweetness of your homemade ice cream recipe.
How do you keep caramel from hardening?
Well you avoid or prevent melted caramel from hardening by
simply adding natural acids. I prefer to use some lemon juice.
So before heating the sugar to prepare caramel add a little
lemon juice about 1 tablespoon and mix it well in sugar. Try to
use hands so that lemon juice is mixed properly with sugar
and then start the heating process until the sugar melts and
caramel is obtained. After that allow it to cool and you will see
it not become hard.
How do you know if caramel is crystallizing?
Well the reason of why your caramel starts crystalizing if you
just pour that hot prepared caramel suddenly to a col pot or
pan and then due to sudden change of temperature your
caramel will start to crystalize.
Can you boil Carnation caramel to make it
thicker?
Well boiling is not the answer or solution if you want to get a
thick caramel instead it will increase the temperature and will
cause the caramel to burn and develop a bitter taste which I
am pretty sure that you don’t want it.
