My frozen treat tastes like burning!!
Hello:
I've been making various frozen desserts for a couple of years for my family's Sunday dinners.
This weekend, I put these items into my blender:
1 can coconut milk.
The flesh of 1 fresh pineapple
2 fresh bananas
the juice of three limes
about 1 C of muscovado sugar
Everything tasted great, so I put it in the fridge overnight.
The next day I poured the concoction into my ice cream maker. It's the kind where you freeze the bowls (there are two of them) and they rotate, and the paddles stay stationary. I should mention that it looks like the bowls are aluminum on the inside.
As it's making, I taste it, and it's terrible! It's very acidic, and burns my throat. Additionally, I think I may have discovered Bernie Bott's recipe for vomit and/or ear wax. Ugh!
Any ideas about what may have gone wrong?
Thanks!
Greg

Freezing greatly reduces your ability to taste sweet. ( Acidic/sour will appear to be amplified, because cold numbs the sweet taste buds)
Same goes for icecream, if you taste unfrozen icecream its way sweeter than the frozen kind.

Hm, interesting theory. I hadn't considered that. However, I have to add that the unfrozen leftovers also had the taste of terribleness about them.

Perhaps the acid from the lime juice and pineapple spoiled the coconut milk?

That had occurred to me as well, but I don't have much experience with coconut milk.
Anybody?

I finally started reading the Harold McGee- it's a great source for food chemistry and history. Check it out!
