What is CMC & GMS
GMS(Glycerol monostearate) is a food additive used as a thickening, emulsifying, anti-caking, and preservative agent. It used for stabilizing ice creams and are available in specialty food stores or bakeries.
CMC powder is widely used in the ice cream industry to make ice cream without churning or freezing at extremely low temperatures. It is used as a thickening, emulsifying, anti-caking, and preservative agent.
Ingredients
- Full fat milk : Full fat milk adds rich, creamy flavour to the ice cream. The fat in the milk helps to make the texture smooth, soft and creates the base that is pure indulgent.
- Sugar : Sugar added for sweetness and also helps to keep the ice cream creamy instead of icy. Without sugar, ice cream would freeze too hard and be icy.
- CMC : Carboxymethyl cellulose ( CMC ) is a stabilizer that keeps the ice cream smooth and prevents ice crystals from forming. It also helps the mixture to thicken without churning.
- GMS : Glycerol Monostearate ( GMS ) is also another stabilizer and emulsifier used to give the ice cream a smooth and scoopable texture.
- Milk powder : Milk powder added for extra milk flavour and it also improves the texture of ice cream.
- Corn starch : Corn flour added to slightly thicken the ice cream and it also prevents ice crystals forming.
- Vanilla extract : Vanilla essence is the star flavour of this recipe. Use good quality vanilla bean or vanilla essence as it gives the classic, flavour and aroma.

Variation : This recipe is highly customizable that you can add chopped nuts, brownies, cookies or chocolate chips into the base after the final blending for extra crunch and flavour.
