After several attempts in developing ice cream recipes, we discovered ice cream that contains egg yolks yields to a more creamier and higher melting point. This is due to the fat content in the yolks. The present of egg yolks could result in less chunky ice crystals and prolonged ice cream shelf-life as the yolks stabilize the molecule of the ice cream.
