Eggs. While not present in every ice cream recipe, egg yolks appear often in ice cream, and add increased creaminess. How do they do it? Not only do they add more fat to the mix, but they are a natural emulsifier, which means that they can bind fat and water together to form a creamy union.

What makes the creamiest ice cream?

Ice cream’s creaminess depends on the size of the ice crystals that form during freezing-the smaller the crystals, the creamier the texture. Rapid chilling and constant churning encourage the water in the ice cream mixture to form lots of minuscule “seed” crystals; this process is known as propagation.
